You’re probably right, which is so depressing.

2020 will be Trump versus a weak sauce Democrat, like Cory Booker or Andrew Cuomo. This will not be a fun choice, but for anyone with a working brain, still an easy one. Except for those who don’t have a brain, who will have forgotten allllllll about 2016, who will pick…

I will never stop harping on dumb-ass far left idiots who voted third party. Seriously yall, we live in a two party system. You can try and change it all you want, but randomly voting third party every 4 or 8 years on a national level with absolutely no local support is not the way to do it. Furthermore, if you’re…

I live in the greater DC metro area, and while I would never watch the inauguration, I was considering joining the Women’s March. However, reading today that Trump is gonna replace the head of the DC National Guard with someone of his own choosing (at exactly 12:01pm on the 20th), makes me very, very nervous about…

And if this shit law had been in effect 33 years ago, I wouldn’t be here, Blanton! That’s because my mother suffered a terrible miscarriage right around the 20 week mark, and if she had been denied proper care, like you fucks want to do now, it’s doubtful that she would have been able to conceive me a little less than…

The best I can translate it (as someone who actually tries to listen to these fucks) is thus: “The Left bringing up issues of injustice and discrimination constantly and without end is why Donald Trump got elected. And if the Left doesn’t understand why we’re sick of hearing about them, and how you can talk to us…

I hope Susan Sarandon is fucking pleased with herself now. So glad she and others saved Standing Rock from evil and corrupt Hillary.

Are you talking about Perriello? He’s lax on gun control, and freaking pro-life; hardly a progressive. I’ll never vote for someone who doesn’t believe I should have dominion over my own body.

I knew this was coming, but it still makes me sad. This is why the state hemorrhages young, intelligent citizens (like myself, and most of my classmates!) who migrate to better and brighter places. It’s like they want to become the next Kansas backwater.

I realized that when she goes (hopefully not anytime soon!) it’ll be the last time anyone says “God save the Queen” in my lifetime. Not that I have anything against William or baby George (sorry, Charles, but no one really likes you), but it made me a little sad, nonetheless.

People who still believe in “moderate” Republicans blow my mind. I actually work with someone who apparently really believes that even if the House and Senate pass some awful version of Virginia’s HB2, Gillespie wouldn’t necessarily sign it. Denial- not just a river in Egypt!

I’m working on signing up with a voter…

I wouldn’t say VA is still getting bluer; it had become bluer in the past because of the growth in the NoVa suburbs, which was made up overwhelmingly of young government employees hired in the Obama years. That trend can, and quite probably will, reverse to an extent. We’ll just have to wait and see how fast and much…

VA narrowly went for Clinton, and that was a major presidential election, not an off year. Look, I hope you’re right, but I have the same bad feeling I did all last year when “I hope you’re right” was the most I could to say to everyone who said Hillary had it in the bag.

Enjoy the vetoes while they last. We have a governor’s race coming up, with our Lt. Governor running against a moderate* Republican in a “anything goes, except the establishment” atmosphere, where the outgoing Governor is a close ally and friend of the Clintons. (Not that that matters to me cause I’m sane, lol.…

Isn’t it fun that liberals get the narrative “Be a grown up and accept the results, and also be nice to all the Trump supporters- it’s your elitism that alienated them in the first place”, while conservatives get “PC culture is over! Say whatever you want when you want! Fuck those libtards!” Good times, yall.

And if that fails, I’m down with Canada taking over and Justin Trudeau pulling double duty. It’d be the nicest invasion ever.

Where the fuck was I demanding gross exceptionalism??? Seriously, my original post could be summarized as “Well, sometimes great people did bad things. We should learn about both sides, though I can’t fault anyone for disliking them.” You are getting way too militant and worked up, and maybe need to take a deep breath…

*All the hugs* Everything is ok in the end, and if it’s not ok, it’s not the end.

Don’t forget the batshit “BernieorBust” or the JillB4Hill” folks. I’ve already seen memes from so called progressives making fun of the Democrats for trying to blame our loss on Russia. (Ftr, I don’t blame the hacks alone, but do think they played a part.)

“while also saying that with this order, Edwards was trying to create “a new protected class of people that doesn’t exist in law.””

Oh just fuck off, right there. Really, try and be more clear that you don’t view LGBTQ folk as human. My god, the open and vitriolic hatred this election has enabled. 2017 is gonna be a…

I didn’t condemn Jefferson (maybe you’ve got the Thomases mixed up- Thomas More is the one I can’t stand.)- but I’m not gonna make excuses for him either, like you’re trying to do. Sure, he wasn’t alone in his thinking, but he wasn’t locked in an echo chamber either. Plenty of the Founding Fathers abhored slavery,…
