Two things:
“I think it’s important to understand that whether it’s the president himself, the vice president, the senior team, the volunteers, or the people who are out there just in america that voted for him that walked the streets or put up a sign, that to constantly be told no no no and to watch him go yes yes yes…

Jenna: “Once Trump got elected, I was like, I’m going to be here—and comments I got from other people in my life that voted for him, like ‘I don’t understand why you’re even going, it’s not like you can change the presidency.’ And I was like, okay, thank you, because now I know for sure that I’m going.”

Only those who didn’t vote for that shitbag are innocent. The rest are fucking dumb and deserve to suffer for their terrible, terrible decision-making.

I seriously don’t know how to fight something like this.

Thank you. I live in the Midwest, these people are not that hard to understand...they are racists who are perfectly happy for the government to supplement incomes as long as those incomes are theirs.

You’re great. Fuck anyone who tells you otherwise…
