Trump supporters have a wide streak of cruelty in them, obvs. They figure Trump would make the people they hate (nonwhites, gays, feminists, immigrants, etc.) suffer but protect them.

One of my friends posted an article a while ago that I need to find again. The author talked about how he grew up in the Midwest and people there would complain about the “east-coast liberal bubble”, where they don’t understand the lives of those outside the cities, while he didn’t really interact with anybody not…

Yes. I have a coworker, who refuses, full-stop, to acknowledge ANYTHING negative about Trump (“I love all his cabinet picks so far!”) or ANYTHING positive about Obama. Case in point: the low, low unemployment rates (it’s false, as it doesn’t account for the MILLIONS of people who have simply given up on finding…

The correct word isn’t naivity or stupidity. It’s bias. Bias is hugely powerful and it affects all of us. But if you’re willing to admit bias affects you, you can limit the power it has over you.

Literally every Trump voter:

I’ve read articles where people voted for Trump and are now shocked that he’s probably going to be going after THEIR benefits. People do this all the time. Somehow, when they receive benefits or entitlements, it’s worth it. And somehow when other people receive the same, they’re freeloading. And somehow when someone…

Completely, 100% true. But the more frightening realization is that I can’t decide if he’s an Evil Genius, or an Evil Moron, and I don’t even know what would be the most dangerous.

And they’ll still somehow find a way to blame this all on liberals and democrats.

Well, Internet bullying is her pet cause and I guess she’s diving right in.

Yeah holy fuck this woman is pure evil. Fuck her.

Okay I know, anyone can sue over anything.

I’m into REPENT as a vaguely threatening licence plate. I’d throw something at the car then ask for forgiveness.

If I thought a “REPENT” license plate would also be rejected on tastelessness grounds, I might agree with you, but I’d put good money on that plate being approved in KY.

Don’t forget that as governor of Indiana—THIS FUCKING YEAR—he signed a bill (thankfully thrown out by a human being of a judge) that would require women to hold funerals for fetuses not carried to term. HE’S A MONSTER!

I not a big fan of autobiographies. But when Obama publishes one in a few years, and if he puts details of the Trump meeting in his then I will definitely be reading it.

Trump’s idea of “doing well” means taking rights away from a lot of people. So no, I don’t hope he does well.

This is a fair point.

The Secret Service took him furniture shopping earlier in the day.

Chapelle said some strange things about Cosby too. I don’t remember him being an out and out apologist, I just remember him saying something like “Yeah, Burress destroyed him. I’m sure he didn’t mean to, but that’s what happened.” Like the real tragedy in all of that was what happened to Cosby’s legacy.
