Terrible people celebrate Sessions confirmation with racism, gloating, more racism

(having epic insomnia after getting home from three days in hospital) My goodness this is horrible, frightening stuff. I live in the UK and worry this stuff might take hold over here more than it already has done. I don’t know what else I can do as a Brit except offer commiserations.

No wonder people hate this goddamned cesspit of a country. These Twitter freaks Dave F posted hate western civilization more than ISIS & other terrorist gangs do!

Evil ratfucking sacks of shit! They’re the fucking dregs of America! I wish Hell existed just so these fuckers can burn there forever!

I clicked on one bastard’s profile & he claimed to be an Air Force veteran. Bastard number 2 claimed to be a retired police detective & private investigator. Typical authoritarian thugs who get off on controlling other people.

When I first got online way back in the mid-1990s when the web was young, I remember thinking how great it was now that people across cultures and countries could communicate directly and better understand one another. I thought it was a definite step toward a unified, peaceful society like the kind you see in science fiction.

Boy was I naive.

This recalls our discussion from the other day. The right is all about wanting others to suffer. Whenever they have a victory, they always celebrate by fantasizing about how people they dislike will be harmed.

At least none of these people have used the N word.

In public.

Yet.

When people can casually use racist slurs on TV without repercussions is the exact moment we’ve reverted back to pre civil rights. Though with how they act they’d settle for nothing less than reality itself bending to their every whim.

This is so disheartening. I didn’t read any of those tweets. I just don’t have it in me.

Probably because I spent a valuable hour of my life arguing with some stranger on an internet comment section over how Martin Luther King Jr. would support modern progressive protests, not condemn them, after they tried to prove that the great man would not support the behavior on the Left.

I mean, I know I’m white and my desire to educate people on this might be problematic, but since it’s mostly white people who are using his words as a cudgel against the very people he’d likely support, I sort of feel like they’re my problem to deal with. White people make me embarrassed to be white.

Very disturbing indeed. But at least we do have a grand lady in Betsy DeVos in the cabinet. Yes I know y’ll hate her and she ain’t no Socrates, but I have seen signs that she is secretly a feminist who will totally change her views and cause major headaches for the Trump administration.

On another note, Cassie’s movie ‘the red pill’ is now torrenting. What is interesting is the executive director has asked people to buy the movie (normal) because they haven’t made a penny from the film.

Didn’t they get 200+k for it?

Also with all of the screenings and flagging crap?

Yeah I really, really didn’t like how Clinton’s team kept doing stupid things like “hmm should we start winning over union voters in Michigan, Wisconsin or Pennsylvania nah let’s not until 6 weeks before the election. We should focus more on a no win state like Iowa” I just can’t find the words that expresses how disappointed I am in how a team that had the support of 3 million more people failed so hard, with so much incompetence and hubris. They lost, to the least popular presidential candidate in history. I will never forgive them for that.

Now the Dems provided they start pushing harder for progressive stuffs that would appeal to those changing states alongside other groups that are increasingly more detached from the GOP may stand a chance in permanently changing the landscape in their favor. Now as long as they don’t start caving in because “wait a minute we like money, if we go along with the GOP on certain things we get alot of money, and we aren’t harmed by it. So uh, laters people of the US.” they can manage to do even more to harm Trump’s term than the tea party ever had.
@Therese
Give me a single proof
That refutes all that is wrong
With this candidate.

She’s a billionaire creationist who has bought her way into a position of power, enthusiastically supports and endorses terrible, awful education policies and pseudoscientific medical treatments, her charitable foundation makes massive donations to regressive causes (Big Homophobia!), lied through her teeth to the senate and to top it all off is someone Donald Trump wants in his cabinet.

She’s a horrible human being and a terrible person to be secretary of education, and that isn’t going to change regardless of whatever signs you have apparently seen.

@Oogly

Oh for the love of fucking. I thought you were over this “Everything ever is Hillary’s fault!” misogynistic BernieBro bullshit.

We know the real reasons for the outcome: Russian meddling, media bias, racist voter suppression and a whole lot of sexist assholes terrified of Hillary’s cooties. And yet, despite all that, she still won and the EC had to step in and hand it to the candidate with a cishet white penis against the country’s wishes. Blaming her is blaming the victim.
