I wrote a haiku on another similar article and I'm proud of it. I don't have a title yet. I'm not usually poetic. Here goes:
Speaking as a Canadian where women have full bodily autonomy perhaps American women would like to vacation in Canada?
Honestly, avoiding sex seems like a good strategy. Even as a man, I'd fucking hate impregnating someone just to have them die in my arms in a fucking parking lot. Fuck MAGA! You people are the death of America!
Some other post had a comment (to paraphrase) for women the best choice to at least somewhat stay safer is: don't have sex with men, don't date men, don't have babies with men, don't get married. It was called the B4 movement.
As a man who sees how bad it is going to be for women in the USA for 4 years or longer, I can't disagree with the person. Though sexual assaults will go up as shitty rapists think they can't get away with what their president got away with.
And they probably can get away with it, because if they claim radical lefties are lying, he'll pardon them
Expect a lot of criminals to get pardoned
I expect a lot of criminals won't even be charged with the crimes they openly commit. They are the part of the in group to which laws will not apply.
A whole generation of the kid who stands behind the other kid and says, "YEAH!!!" after the fact and then shrinks away and cowers.
For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.
Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel "heard" instead of "opressesed."
Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be "oppressed." But from their perspective, they aren't allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.
Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.
When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say "yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail" but then they pull the rug and say, "sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things"
When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.
I very much look forward to the increase in mortality rates among men. Married and otherwise.
Lots of Goodbye Earl energy flying around and I love it.
anybody ever notice how republicans talk about all the hope and positivity at trump rallies?
Curious right?
The answer is simple, it's the only place they feel those two emotions, they literally do not experience it anywhere else, it's a cult.
If the pastor farts, his congregation shits.
Is anyone surprised?
I've seen it already too. Was playing overwatch and the enemy tank was talking shit to our tank and he responded with "I'm glad trump won so someone will rape mercy." Was quite jarring tbh
One of my friends had some rough experiences in some communities after it. I'd have to dig up the screenshots but it was atrocious. She's not even American but she flat out said it made her want to take a break from online for a while.
I've never seen anything like it considering the game we play together tends to have a more progressive and welcoming community that lashes out against open misconduct like that.
And I hope you reported it
Yeah whole team did
