Let’s think back to Civil War era. “States Rights” was a thinly veiled spin to continue owning the bodies and rights of another (slavery). Here we are again. “States Rights” now owning our bodies and our rights (reproductive rights).
Ummm, so House Republicans just laid a bill on the table to reduce social security payments for Americans who receive a pension or disability benefit from an employer....
It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
We are a country that just elected – that just willfully chose – one of the most cruel, unscrupulous and transparently self-serving political figures in modern history to be president. Again.
I weep for us all.

@JerasIkehorn Alas, I think what we are seeing is the fell hand of the electoral college + racism + sexism. I think that is more than enough to account for what happened.
I wish I could think it were rigged. That way, I might have some hope.
