The problem with this year’s GOP field, as far as I can tell, is exactly what you point out in the last sentence of your first paragraph; there seems to be a pretty extensive “to hell with the establishment” vibe running through both major parties and their respective voting blocs this time around. The difference, in…

a great deal of people on the Right are so fed up with their party being ineffectual

Nah, we only deserve him if he actually wins. This election will determine how stupid we are. Everything after THAT we deserve.

Don’t worry we’ll get Hillary instead so everybody loses not just republicans!

“Well you can’t vote for cartoon characters, thank god.”

So few people agree with me on this point, but you’re absolutely right. The people voted him into the nomination. The democratic process actually worked, and it showed us how rotten we really are.

As a country, we deserve Trump and that’s the sad truth :(

Well you can’t vote for cartoon characters, thank god.

Hmmmm nahhh, they’ll say that about a white woman too. Not to downplay their racism, but believe me, they don’t hate women less if those women are white.

Yeah, like we’re supposed to be surprised that BPD is fucking up in ways OUTSIDE of shooting black people for no reason. (Spoiler: we’re not).

Exactly, this is a great example of “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.” It minimizes work for cops if they can be dismissive of claims. Who cares if most sexual assaulters are serial rapists? Who wants to do paperwork?!

This is not shocking to me sat all. I did rape crisis advocacy for 8 years in a large Midwestern city (I’d meet with the victim/survivor at the hospital) and 9 out of 10 times the cops would try to find any answer other than the person was raped. According to the cops I had to deal with, here are people who cannot be…

It really is universal. I mean look at episodes of Cops. Where CAN’T you film an episode of Cops? Nowhere, that’s where.

A friend posted on Facebook a woman’s account of a man following her and waiting for her while she got a cup of coffee, just glaring at her the whole time, even while she took his picture. She called the police and stayed on the line with them when she noticed he was following another woman. She followed as well to…

^This x 1000000

Yup. I once had a guy in Union Square (NYC) who followed me YELLING at me for not acknowledging his compliment. He didn’t stop until I met up with a male friend...

Trust your gut and keep an eye on that creep.

Until something bad happens. Then it’s “Why didn’t you DO something?!?!”

Yup. Woman are always made to feel like they are overreacting if they find a man creepy. We’re supposed to be understanding of gross behavior and write it off as “social awkwardness.” Fuck that noise. Trust your gut ladies.

Oh fuck me. This is the very particular brand of lower middle class white trash Ohio seems to grow like it’s the only thing our soil supports. From the hard slick back ponytails to the Midwestern mommy facebook outrager version of the “I want to talk to the manager, never mind lets beat some ass” haircut, Sams club…
