Also, the Obamas had offered to leave the playground at the White House for, you know, Trump’s ten-year-old kid and bunch of grandkids... and he said no.

Yes. I don’t have to justify my existence, but they’re certainly going to have to justify their vote - most painfully, in the end, to themselves.

Yep. Let Van Jones coddle the racists if he wants, but I don’t have time for that.

“It has rubbed me the wrong way to hear I have to listen to them but I will not be extended the same respect. I already am forced to listen to them.”

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why is the onus always on the disenfranchised to engage, forgive, move on?

I live around people who voted for Trump and I know many of them will not want to listen to me. I’m an American Indian woman with a Hispanic last name. I’m also well educated and a feminist. There are so many things I am that is wrong to them.

Trump supporters have been interviewed about why they were voting for him.

Bingo. I keep hearing certain liberals telling me I need to engage with Trump voters. Bullshit. They’re my same racist relatives who spent 8 years slagging on President Obama. They’re not concerned with coal mining jobs. They want revenge for 8 years of having a black man as President. Trump supporters are racists.…

I recently met a man who was born in 1981.

This. Voter suppression won this election for Trump, and it irks me that almost no one is talking about it.

That’s blatant lie and you know it! Those of us who weren’t disenfranchised or turned away from the polls due to racist schemes voted for Hillary.

i was reading that dialog thinking, yeah, i can sorta kinda see her point...until i realized i was reading it backwards - her texts as his.

Seriously, you’re the one who brought the whole thing up in the first place, lady!
