Look at Stars ‘n Stripes Shrek there. Isn’t he just the happiest guy ever?
It didn't take Trump to make this real for me.
I remember how our country treated Muslims after 9/11. I remember how we treated people with AIDS and HIV when I was little. Right now I'm watching Nazi salutes on national TV and no one's getting punched even though the room is packed with the supposed opposition, and the people who consider themselves progressive are unironically enjoying people's families inability to afford food staples.
Progressives are becoming more radical as a response to right wing extremism.
I was raised republican and was completely caught up in their propaganda. During that time I would've let you starve to death while holding food if I was told you were part of the 'bad' group. You need to treat Republicans as the dangerous entity they are, don't bother being empathetic, they won't ever reciprocate.

It's sad there are so many, but it's better that we know. They are the reason behind freedom of speech. If they aren't allowed to speak, then we don't know the extent of the problem. Only education can solve this problem in the long run--that is why they attack public education.
Back in my day, we called these people assholes
Maybe Reagan shouldn't have closed down the mental institutes and facilitate the stifling of access to mental health
Looking back, I'm starting to believe it was a long-term political calculus, not just abandoning the most vulnerable in our society...
Someone should dox this cunt
The hell of living as such a shitty person is far worse than anything anybody could do to her.

"Basket of Deplorables" -- as I'm tired of repeating, Hilary was right.
No, she wasn't.
If they hadn't rigged the primary for her, we never would have had a Trump.

She was. She was John the Baptist but wanted to be Jesus. Opinion on her was fully established so even if she was 45% positive you could never move the dial on the 6% you needed to push her over the top.
She would have been an outstanding attack dog for a fresh candidate if she could have put her ego aside and accept that it wouldn't be her.
She was trying to follow eight years of Obama that had primed an electorate for a radical change candidate. She was not going to be that and in fact personified that her Party would unfortunately not be the one to change.
She was also a terrible candidate in the same way Kamala was, which is something people still don’t accept. They both had terrible PR and were establishment pro-corporate candidates. Those two features guaranteed they wouldn’t extend past their base. At the time Bernie was offering a populist agenda, which is what Trump used to win both times. The DNC still to this day cannot shed corporate influence enough to do what’s necessary to win.

Yikes
It’s the greatest source of my depression…
Dang, looks like that one guy on the left got a “TRUMP” tat on his NECK. I’m sure he won’t have any ragrets down the road.
He's obviously not getting another turn with the communal brain cell so I don't think he'll be regretting anything.
One of the best parts. They outed themselves.

They were always here.
I escaped from the south to the coasts, but I always tried to warn people how vile the worst of us were.
Nobody coukd believe it, but remember, Hitler wrote about the south as the model for Germany in mein kampf, and the nazis copied the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow almost verbatim.
It's not just the south.
I've lived in much of the country, and I'm not white.
There is racism everywhere.
But the South is like going from Lebanon to the deepest reaches of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
They're monsters, and proud of it.
They also took inspiration from the Catholic Church and the inquisition. The Church did ethnic cleansing long before the Nazis.
The also took inspiration from the Catholic Church
Not just inspiration but also direct material support.
Nazi legal theorists saw the U.S. as a “pioneer” in racist legislation.
James Q. Whitman, in his book "Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law",
I believe they got some of their ideas from American eugenicists.
Hell truly is other people.
