I’ve gotten a few hundred new follows in recent days so this feels like a good time to inform y’all that not only is this an anti-Trump account, it’s anti-Bernie too. Thx, congrats on the twofer, welcome aboard, and if you can’t handle either of the above kindly see yourself out.
I won’t waste your time and energy #onhere and I sure as fuck won’t let you waste mine. Count on it.
LOL I’m now plus ~1500 since I posted this last night. Don’t ever let them tell you we aren’t legion or proud. They routinely exclude our POV from the national conversation but we still have the immense power of our votes and peaceful protest. Our strength is our numbers, y’all.
Someday we’ll have to have a grown up conversation about how the MSM perpetually ignores the voices of not only people of color but also White people who go against the grain of White patriarchy on the both the left and right. Their attempts to erase us reveal their insecurity.
I still prefer to call it the Obama coalition, but ultimately it’s a multicultural collection of historically marginalized groups and Reliable White Allies™️ who vote pragmatically and intersectionally for socioeconomic justice and equal human rights. We voted for Hillary.
In fact, we were and still are the American majority but you wouldn’t even know it from listening to the MSM narrative that’s spun almost exclusively by White men on the left and right who bring us the “news”. They still can’t/won’t cover a story that doesn’t center their POV.
It shouldn’t STILL be a shock or surprise that the base of the Democratic Party stands firmly in it’s rejection of the politics of White male rage and resentment as it is stoked and espoused by Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. The 2016 vote tallies speak for themselves.
Going forward they will continue to legitimize the myopia that caused this disaster in hopes of repeating the disaster over again. They have the luxury and privilege of never learning from their mistakes and making them over and over again without suffering any consequences.
They will continue to pretend that Democrats don’t have a “clear message” and that simply just being opposed to the rank incompetence and cruelty of White male supremacy isn’t a valid position to take or a means to build a winning coalition. They will be WRONG habitually.
They will count us out because they don’t want to count us at all.
#ExpectUs anyway. 🔥
Don’t ever let Bros on the left or right convince you that you and others like you don’t exist in enough numbers to matter or that the life experience attached to your identity is less relevant than theirs. Be proud to be an ally and a member of the reality based community.

I don’t begrudge their secrecy either, but how exactly are the ~60% of White men who vote GOP ever going to evolve away from misogyny if not even the women in their lives feel safe enough to speak their minds? This is the American Taliban.
No one is explicitly addressing the narcissism and sociopathy of *mainstream* White American male culture from within its ranks. It’s literally shooting up the public square, desecrating the US government, waging endless war abroad/at home and killing the planet with IMPUNITY.
It’s already painfully clear they won’t listen to the marginalized groups they’re oppressing, but the fact that there’s literally been no appreciable impact of White on White peer pressure on the WM majority for so long in this country should be cause for much greater concern.

How are they possible Democratic voters if a) they don’t know or care what the party stands for b) they can’t be bothered to listen to or be intersectional with the marginalized groups that ARE the Democratic base c) they can’t tolerate confrontation of White male supremacy? 🤷🏾‍♀️
Listen Bros, I understand that you haven’t had a party to proudly call your own since GWB irreparably destroyed the GOP in the 2000s. I’ve documented it at length. None of this means you get to commandeer a coalition you don’t even actually support.
Rather than work internally to change the GOP or establish a viable 3rd party for Bros who are aware enough to be embarrassed by the GOP, they seek to meet their ends on the backs of the women, POC and LGBTQ who anchor the Democratic Party. HELL NO, Bro.

Respectfully, what you also aren’t getting is that the White privileged psyche of MAGAts, Klansmen, Nazis and other GOP isn’t unique to them or completely absent from the folk on the Left who routinely thwart Democratic objectives out of spite for women and POC. Slash that.
@philip_md1 I don’t make exceptions for racist/misogynist fuckery on the left. If these people want to actually join the Democratic Party, they need to listen for once in their lives and learn how to be RELIABLE allies to the base of the party. If not, they can GTFOH.
@philip_md1 You really need to take the time to read MLK’s Letter from Birmingham jail because if you still don’t see how White “moderates” are equally responsible for this disaster, you’re aiding and abetting it.

LOL if I’m honest I’d say I’m struggling to even figure out which one you’re referencing because aren’t they all?! 🤷🏾‍♀️🤪 Either way you’re guaranteed to find it on a) my wakelet page (link in bio) or b) my Moments tab #onhere.
@noralove It’s gonna irk me until I figure it out though 😂 is it this one?

Seriously though, where is Mark Judge? WTAF?!
I thought it was so disingenuous how Kavanaugh cited Mark Judge’s substance addiction as a reason why he shouldn’t be brought into this as if their mutual relationship with beer isn’t at the heart of this controversy.
Not only that but it’s also highly plausible that the sheer stress of keeping his and Kavanaugh’s dirty secrets concealed over the last few months triggered a relapse or exacerbation of Judge’s addiction.

I love how people keep declaring a constitutional crisis every day as if we haven’t already been in one perpetually since 1/20/17. 🙃
Who would’ve guessed that the illegitimately installed sociopath would behave like an illegitimately installed sociopath every fucking chance he gets?! Who would’ve guessed that his Republican enablers would actually use the rubber stamp they nominated?
Every Congressional Republican who’s up for re-election in November should be VOTED OUT simply on the grounds that they’ve aided and abetted Trump’s illegitimate and illegal occupation of the White House for going on 2 years. Mueller shouldn’t have to be doing their job for them.
