Excellent points, thanks, you’ve given me stuff to think about. Cheers.

Yes, I know some people - too many people - are racist, focus on division, misplaced feelings of superiority, etc. But I just can’t wrap my mind around it, you know? I can’t put myself in their shoes, can’t see what they see.

I read about this earlier, it’s heartwarming. I’ve never understood fear and hatred of “other” and I think most of us have more in common than not, whatever our differences. As awful as these past months have been, stories like this one are especially important as a reminder of good. Now we just have to make sure good…

I know it’s upsetting, I am forcing myself to read these things, to try to stay informed even while failing to understand people like them.

Being unqualified is no longer an impediment to becoming president of the USA.

I thought that was a pic of Milo for a second there.

Spicer doesn’t know the meaning of the word “ironic.”

Chances are good they make him poop.

Math, like science, has a liberal bias these days.

Oh come on, Fox news wouldn’t stand for inaccuracy.

Monsters. Have a feeling this will backfire, higher prices all around.

Trump has signaled that hate is okay, this is the result.

One can hope, certainly.

I know, I feel much the same. I’d sought out articles about the campaign rally, knowing they’d probably be hard to read, because I think it’s important to be aware of what those folks think. I’m glad they’re in the minority, but appalled all the same.

It’s that diet of junk food and bile.

Yes, it’s just awful. They have a right to say what they want, though I think they crossed into hate speech territory, but we also have rights to call them out for being assholes and shining a light on their behavior.

Actually, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn there was more hands-on involvement from them. Remember that Times article about campaign staff “and others” being in close touch with Russia? Ivanka vacationed with Wendi Deng, right? A powerful woman apparently very close to Putin. And it’s our European allies who have…

The article deserves wider play, for this very reason. You cannot be an American patriot and favor fascism or oligarchy or a dictator. The cognitive dissonance is staggering. I... don’t have the words to express the horror.

I think it’s necessary to stop the insanity on the right. It’s either that or we’re done as a democracy/republic. The only good thing to come out of this is that more ppl are paying attn now. Cold comfort.

I’m also pissed off that I’ve been made to feel this way.
