Honestly I'll cut them out and won't even explain why. I haven't spoken to my extremely racist cousin in years. Every now and then he tries to contact me, but I don't say anything. There's a small part of me that wants to believe he could change, but then I remember he named his doberman the n word and yelled at it constantly.

Knowing this guy my whole life he was like cartoonishly racist. Like anything I describe he did will get people saying I'm making it up or exaggerating.

Your society is too polarized, please don't be part of the problem.

Rapist, fascist, racist, insurrectionist, pedophile, felon, conman, serial liar... Why sell him short?

All that stuff was well known BEFORE the election. That's why I don't have any respect for those who now claim they "made a mistake".

It hurt most when my mother told me that she voted for him. Most of my family did but I didnt know that at the time.

Hell no.

This should've been normalized in 2016. Probably long before that even.

Electing a useful stooge to usher in a new age of American fascism is probably something this nation will never fully be able to come to terms with, and may not survive. It’s incredibly disappointing and disheartening that we have to depend on the shock value of outrageous sex crimes just to get the attention of voters.

In addition to the normalization of rape culture, here are some other horrible things that are already happening, and continue to get worse as we continue down this path:

  • Techno-fascist police state
  • Concentration camps
  • Domestic military operations
  • Open kleptocracy
  • Federalized “elections”
  • Illegal and continuous wars at executive whim
  • Out-of-control, self-sustaining, irreversible global climate change
  • Increased risk of nuclear conflict

I think I prefer, “You enthusiastically voted for an obviously fascist lunatic.” But hey, whatever gets butts in the booths while we still can.

the silver lining of being a very queer trans person is no one who voted for him wants to hang out with me anyway, so i dont end up running into them in my social circles. they might want to fuck me though, which is weird dichotomy...
