She certainly doesn’t seem at all interested in politics - she’ll just get trotted out by Trump when he needs a First Lady for some function or another. I can’t really hate her for toeing the party line - loathsome as Trump’s beliefs are, he’s her meal ticket. By all accounts there looks like zero affection between…

Came here to say this. That’s... quite a trajectory. A distillation, really. Take anything that was coherent and sensical about Goldwater, boil it away, and you’re reduced to Reagan. Take that and spin it down, and you’ve got a hard lump of stupid named George W. Bush. Take that and burn it in a crucible, and you’ve…

Thank you for this. A woman isn’t lacking in agency just because she’s making decisions you don’t agree with. I might concede that she’s in over her head, but to cast her as someone so blank that she can’t muster up the power to make her own decisions is a disservice to both her, and other women like her. Just because…

First they came for the Eggos, and I cried not, “Leggo!”

It seems hypocritical to keep referring to it as an egg and not a chicken.

I got a very North Korean vibe from the name.

Nah, it sounds weird at first, because the headlines are playing it up like it’s a national holiday, but it is actually a normal tradition. Presidents name their inauguration days. Obama did it, too.

He gets that we are united against him, right?

I also have the sick feeling we’re headed for violence, but I’m never going to fly that flag. We have 50 states and multiple territories and if anything, there should be more stars, not less.

The true patriots are all the women (and men) who marched on January 21st. They are the ones deserving of approbation.

I can’t with this, anymore.

Read this, y’all! A scholar basically understands the ways in which propaganda psychologically impacts people; even those who attempt to resist it can accidentally play into it. I found it incredibly useful to think about in those terms. Another tactic that some regimes use has been via romanticized reality, i.e.…

The shirts will be brown

I bet the new uniforms are going to be fantastic. Lots of gold. Beautiful.

Textbook insecurity.

Okay so y’all know this is gonna end in Civil War right? They aren’t going to give up what they’ve taken so far. Literally over their dead bodies. This just proves it. For every move we make he has to one up it for his ego. Trump has never admitted to a mistake in his life do you think he is going to go down as the…

Now people will finally see Trump for the well adjusted and secure individual he is. Nothing says ‘I’m fine’ better than decreeing a holiday for the party no one showed up to.

Annual Women’s March it is.

It’s only a matter of time before the office of the President is renamed “Supreme Leader.”
