She’s brown and a democrat, gotta get that birth certificate, that we’ll call fake news anyway. Apparently, if you can’t win in a fight, you gotta at least try to get your opponent disqualified.

Sad and weird.

if you're a white person taking pleasure in the idea that Trump voters of colour are experiencing racist violence from white trumpers because "they got what's coming to them" I don't think you're anti-racist at all, I think you were just waiting for an acceptable target, and you're also fucking weird.

Bad Person Deserves Punishment For Their Sins give me a fucking break and get yourself out of the fucking catholic church. you're all prison abolitionists until you see someone you don't like.

I don't know if it needs to be said but if you haven't figured it out yet I don't want any Trump supporters following or interacting with me. Stay the fuck away from me

WHOA

he openly admitted he doesn't have a plan for health care

You'd think,right? For example:

Mike Dukakis was ahead in the presidential race in 1988. Then he did a publicity stunt where he simply rode in a tank, and the press crucified him! He lost just because of that. The popular imagination used to be so fickle about who was a "good" candidate. "Where's a beef?" - from a fast food commercial became one candidate's slogan. Real issues hardly seemed to matter. It was always: 'Which guy is coolest?'

Then Trump was openly ugly and hateful. All the people (frighteningly more than we ever imagined along with those who deify the rich) thought, " This guy says it's okay to be openly hateful & ugly." They loved it because right wingers were long primed for hateful arrogance by Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and 20 years of their imitators.

It didn't help that Democrats got bought out too on all but social issues (billionaires & corporations had no problem with gay marriage - it wasnt hurting their profits.) and abandoned rural America to corporate agriculture, farm consolidation, and factory offshoring.

Trump lied that he'd fix their problems, and they bought it.

‘we’re using our votes to protest without throwing to Trump’ Well. Looks like everyone did a great job and nobody got hurt

biblically accurate treatment for wesker

ultimately what "the left" in the imperial core actually needs to accept is that there is nothing inherently wrong with feeling discomfort when recognizing any form of privilege you may have and no one should have to water down their arguments to nothing for the sole purpose of not hurting feelings. the right never made you feel "welcomed", right wingers cannibalize each other constantly, they don't even want to fucking date each other because they're that miserable in conservative circles, what happened is you saw benefit in reactionary ideals that managed to outweigh the downsides. this doesn't mean you can't grow and change as a person but it does mean exercising cognitive empathy where you never did before!

Always an experience watching the leftism leave FNAF fans when someone mentions that Scott Cawthon financially backed fascist politicians.

The switch from posting hardline leftist tweets about boycotts and signal boosts and critical takedowns of politicians and celebrities to ‘ohhh, well. everyone makes mistakes. who can blame him, listen he. he donated money to gay charities too. that makes it ok! a millionaire in his forties is allowed to have political beliefs. does it even matter? just let it go!’ is whiplash inducing. The antivaxxer celebrities have got to go, but this one horror dev who quietly handed wads of cash to antivax lawmakers? He’s chill, he can stay.

The charity thing is so funny too because suddenly utilitarian positive-negative point counting is the way to go. Maybe an abacus would help calculate the net good of donating to the Trevor Project minus donating thousands of dollars to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. -10 points if I push a kid in a lake but +11 points if I help an old lady across the street, so I’m chill. You can’t judge me. Hey, maybe. Just don’t push a kid in the lake period. How fucking low is the bar when we’re excusing maxing out the possible dollar amount of donations to Mitch fucking McConnell. That should be like. Default you’re a bad person.

I'm just gonna say it. To the rest of the world, the hatred Republicans have for women in the USA is starting to give off Taliban vibes.

no cause i'm genuinely so angry about this. that man is facing criminal charges, he's a known white supremacist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, a misogynist, a sex offender and he's currently being applauded by the McLaren garage cause why not??? if i were a driver and i would see him in front of my garage i would simply resign. way to go f1, it's getting harder and harder to tolerate this day after day.

comic writers need to write messy cheating breakups again. all these amicable offpanel breakups are BORING!!! and they rarely make sense with where the characters are in their relationship anyway. i want three issues minimum dedicated to adultery and the fallout of it. we used to be a country.
