While I'm discouraged that my fellow citizens elected a criminal as their president, I'm proud that I downplayed his criminality enough to maintain my status as a neutral reporter.
I would not be at all surprised if the polling data says that Trump's gains were entirely the result of white male Dems switching sides. It would be the most predictable statistic of the century.
When Kamala became the nominee, my gut told me she couldn't win because of who this country is.
There are millions of Americans who would vote for the rotting corpse of Saddam Hussein rather than vote for any black woman, and we should not pretend otherwise.
Regardless of the outcome at this point, I really hope this outcome ends the idea that Trump's first term was some sort of fluke, that we as a country are 'better than that.' Naive, see-no-evil ass position that self-sabotages the work of building an holsitic alternative vision.
1. According to a book that every child in every school
in America is required to use, the DICTIONARY defines “stolen” as:
- Property taken or appropriated
- Taken away by force, unjust means, or without permission
2. In 1860, the value of enslaved enslaved people (not their labor or what they contributed—just their actual value) was worth MORE than the combined value of all the railroads, all manufacturing and all money in all the banks in America.
That America was “Built on the backs of slaves on stolen land” is a fact; not an opinion.
Fuck a dog whistle. They’re literally SCREAMING the quiet part
Donald Trump wants to outlaw facts
@AlinaIsYou One of those unique movies that I would call Extremely Bad, 0/10, would not recommend, but I 100% understand if somebody thinks it's incredible
@AlinaIsYou I would imagine the average American cannot keep up a jogging pace for 30 minutes--even at my fittest during high school I wouldn't have been able to--so don't beat yourself up too badly.
