So much WHINING...
It's all their fault!
All the Sexist, Racist, Elitist, Privileged, White People!
I'm scared and I'm going to go cry and whine now. I'm literally SHAKING! Watch me wail in despair!
This seems to be the reaction among many folks who were convinced by the media that Trump is literally Hitler.
If you are having this reaction, please raise your hand. Now take that hand and smack yourself across the face. Did that make you angry? Did that piss you off? GOOD.
That's where you need to be. I was that mad for months when the DNC cheated and lied and claimed that I was a conspiracy theorist for saying that the election was stolen. I was that mad when privileged elite critics and ivory tower folks who never worked a goddamn day in their lives called me "-ist" names for supporting Stein. ("But you were REALLY supporting Trump... ADMIT IT!")
Oh, he's going to take away the rights of everybody because he's Hitler!
And you're going to let him? FUCK that. My friends and neighbors are good, decent human beings who happen to disagree politically with me. We will NOT be instantly oppressing folks. If anything, those militarized cops rolling down the street might wake you the fuck up to what we've ALREADY become. Take a look at goddamn North Dakota. That's what we already ARE.
And yet people have been going along with it meekly because, "We are the good guys!" They allow this shit because it's cloaked in the nice little suit of "private property" and "cops were just protecting themselves from scary rioters."
News flash: You are the rioters. It's NEVER been about sexism, racism or the rights of the oppressed. It's always been about keeping the ants in line.
So get fucking mad. Get angry, and turn your anger at the people who deserve it. Not your friends and neighbors, who the DNC would have us believe are at fault. They are GOOD people, despite the propaganda. Turn your rage on the fools who claim to speak for the oppressed, while simultaneously grinding their jackboot down a little harder.
And don't give the Rethugs a fucking inch.

So privileged that their life expectancy is declining.
I am so tired of hearing from the Clintonites about privilege.
It's all they've got left.
Funny thing.
I've seen this tactic before.
It doesn't work, it just galvanizes people against you.
The thought is "Well, they're going to call me a -ist no matter WHAT I do, so therefore..."
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
The Dems needed this
This lesson will be cheap in comparison
Take a look at goddamn North Dakota. That's what we already ARE.
Yup... and similar imagery from #occupy, Ferguson, Baltimore, etc. etc.
That is who we are.
A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

Nope, that's who TPTB are and
Nope, that's who TPTB are and what they are trying to propagandize the American people into becoming.
Honestly, the number of Americans they haven't successfully brainwashed and who will continue to despise TPTB and what they do lends me great hope, even after this election.
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
This was marvelous to read
I swear, you've been reading the FB of my friends, all wailing, gnashing teeth, swearing they are going to move to Canada (never Mexico, notice that?), crying, their kids crying, their dogs howling...
Give me a break. Me, I thought about what was likely to start changing and realized I'd have to double down on my fights for the environment, for immigrants, for the poor. But.. that was going to be needed anyway, even if Clinton won.
If you're poor now, my friend, then you'll stay poor.
