I want to cry (re: Trump's America)

[JaneAusten]

Seriously I won't say Bannon is not a smart guy, but he sounds like a Leninist the more I hear from him. And I don't mean that in a good way.

These people are seriously twisted and care more about their own interests and creating chaos than anything.

^ I agree. I think Steve Bannon is very smart. I've trained myself not to fall into the trap of thinking all racist, sexist people are stupid. It's far from true and underestimating them might be comforting, but it isn't wise.

Frankly, I wonder what they hope to achieve.

 

Is the protesters' goal to force the electoral college to put aside last Tuesday's results and vote for Hillary (which isn't likely to happen)?

 

Do they want Trump to become so fed up that he quits (which isn't likely to happen either)?

 

WHERE are they going with this?  Are they prepared for the possibility of their protests being in vain?

 

Because, to protest indefinitely, with no discernable goal other than to decry a collective error in judgment on the part of those who have voted a vile human being into political office...?  I don't know how long they can sustain that.

Breitbart was one of the few media organizations to correctly predict Trump's victory. The rest of the media claimed that Hillary would win in a landslide. You trust sources that claimed Hillary would win in a landslide?

Predictions do not make a site credible. Lord we really do live in a post-fact society. If a news source isn't stanning for your candidate it is a conspiracy or an outright lie.

Yes but it is still a news media that inspires hatred

So?  The National Enquirer exposed Senator John Edwards' babymama drama.  That doesn't mean I'm gonna start taking them seriously.

Feels like we have gone back 60 years.

Breitbart. I'm not allowing that site to be linked here. Thank you.

You ignored my entire post.   Did you bother responding to their question about whether you would prefer your kid be a feminist or have cancer?

Here's a non-Breitbart (Washington Post) reporting the "anti-Muslim attack" as a hoax.

On two separate occasions now since the election of The Donald, my husband of Puerto Rican descent has been the target of hatred.  In one instance, we were in a Walmart and he got distracted and left our buggy in the middle of the aisle.  This atrocity prompted a girl and her boyfriend to call him a "[!@#$%^&*] beaner".  Then about a week later, he was talking with a cashier at the Circle K.  The guy in line behind him starting saying over and over, "andale! andale!" to him loudly.  He told the guy he wasn't Mexican, but it continued.  

 

In both instances, neither the clerk or customers at the Circle K or other customers at Walmart ignored it, said nothing, did nothing.

 

I am personally strongly anti-gun for me and my home.  And I was brought up in the North Florida sticks.  We had guns growing up.  A lot of them.  But I never wanted to have one in my home - that might need to change now.  It's really scary.  I suppose in these people's minds, we're gay and one of us is Latino.  Prime targets.
