The first woman president will be a racist white Republican, I'll put 100 dollars on it. And the GOP will be so proud of themselves about electing a woman who ran on a platform of their usual fear-mongering dirty tricks, waxing poetic about how it proves they're superior to Democrats for not being able to beat Trump with two female candidates who were more than qualified for the job.

#no predictions about when this takes place but ive had this thought before #i had this thought while nikki haley was running in the primary #given she isn't really white (to my knowledge? she's got south asian heritage right? she changed her last name too?)#but they'll treat it as a big accomplishment bc to them a woman is a woman #and a racist sexist woman is just as good. nay better! than a progressive democrat #or a more centrist democrat #or any democrat #damn there really is no democratic coalition anymore other than progressives and princinpled never-trumpers #everyone else has been subsumed by the gradual normalization of trumpism #i need to stop posting about politics today for my OWN sake. for my own mind #idk if i should go on a screen ban or what #idk what to do. im just... so unhappy #tales from diana #my fellow americans... you are a bunch of unscrupulous ingrates
