i want a needlepoint with your last two sentences embroidered on it

Yes. I’ve come to realize that middle aged white women in particular HATE her. They will never be convinced that she’s not a bitchy, lying, opportunist that can’t be trusted and wants to eat babies.

Seriously I want to slap those rural white voters and yell at them that no, just because Trump is president doesn’t mean an unskilled high school dropout will magically get a $25 per hour factory job in the middle of cow pastures and soybean fields. Yes your benefits and food stamps will get cut some more like what…

Unfortunately, a lot of us are going to suffer right alongside them.

Anyone else been ill all day? I feel like I have a combination of mono, being left at the altar, and kicked in the groin. Exercise helped. And I’m super proud of myself for only eating ONE pint of Ben and Jerry’s vegan Chunky Monkey.

Well, hey. Trump may have a blank check to destroy this county for everyone who isn’t wealthy, white and male, but we can all take comfort in the fact that Mitch McConnell will push back against congressional term limits. He’s truly the hero we deserve.

Shock is a luxury. No time for luxury anymore. Time to organize, protest, volunteer.

His minions craved a strong dose of keeping it real followed by a chaser of telling it like it is- they didn’t realize the side effects included insanity, evil, loss of their fellow humans’ respect and death.

This is modern day Nazi Germany in it’s infancy. We need to stamp it out before it gets too powerful.

I keep thinking I’m going to wake up.

The most awesome thing about this is how much damage it will do to the people who actually voted for this person.

I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe this is happening. That loop has been playing in my head all day.

so many people that I might actually believe are good people—that was not an automatic disqualification for being president.

I was as shocked as you that Trump got a lot of votes from women, but I’ve been in a blue state bubble for most of my life. Look at the comments page for any article on the wage gap, rape, sexism, etc, and you’ll find plenty of women trolls who are just as sexist as their male counterparts. There’s a lot of…

Some are Republicans so they vote for Republicans without really thinking about it. Others (I’ve noticed many middle aged women in this category) have an irrational hatred of all things Hillary/Clintons that they can’t articulate. Others are pissed that they have to compete with black and brown people for jobs.

I live in a nice town in Michigan on a cul-de-sac where everyone has a pool. It was significantly easier for my husband and I to find jobs here than in our native New England states. Yet all of my white neighbors voted for Trump. These people are not out of world coal miners, they are administrators at the hospital. I…

And college-educated white women tried, married women tried, Democratic women overwhelmingly tried, women with post-graduate degrees overwhelmingly tried. While no one should be able to ignore that white people elected Trump, I honestly don’t know what can be accomplished, beyond venting, by pointing fingers at the…

The two main explanations I have heard for this upset are 1:“but it’s because of disfranchisement right now” and 2: “people wanted change, and Trump represented that.”

This is really shaking a lot of my core values because I feel the same way. I want to point and say “see I fucking told you so when” his trade and immigration policies fuck our economy and when the abortion rate goes up because women lose access to health care. I want him to fucking fail miserably.

Never underestimate the pull of anti-Semitism.
