(10,173 posts)We had a whole fucking year of a living breathing shit stain exploit every imaginable fear of voters.
people stood in a booth and voted for it, they voted for a man who scapegoated and demonized ordinary people trying to live their fucking lives in peace. And the problem is with me - the liberal , who points out that this man lies , is disgraceful and will degrade the Presidency. If you vote for a racist fuck, what conclusion am I to draw?
Political correctness is only a sin for some. For those precious ones whose psyche every journalist wanted to uncover this year "Who are Trump voters?" .. "Let's understand the Trump voter" .. "The Hidden Voter - Trump Voters" - all these fucking ingratiating articles and I'm thinking -yes who are these fucking people for whom xenophobia and racism aren't deal breakers at the ballot box?
I point this out and I am the problem. Sexist shit and racist shit can be heard and sold at Trump rallies; The Deplorable behavior is called deplorable - oh the horror , don't call them deplorable! what the fuck else am I supposed to call this shit then?
Think back to any other politician or ordinary citizen getting away with this - Reverend Jeremiah Wright is a distant memory when a white nationalist can have the ear of the President and the Press normalises it..
So fuck all the "Identity politics of PoC of Gays, of Women is why we lost" narratives.
