55. White angst? What about white rage.
Mon Dec 19, 2016, 02:15 PM
Dec 2016

I'm a white woman who is so fucking angry and I don't know what do with with this rage.

I HATE that a despicable racist misogynist was elected (by fraud).
I HATE that all the sub-human racist scum are gloating and emboldened by the "win".
I HATE that we are losing the best POTUS and FLOTUS we've ever had in 240 years.
I HATE that their legacies are going to be destroyed by scum not worthy to shine their shoes.
I HATE that women's rights and voting rights are going to be trampled and laughed about as irrelevant.
I HATE every goddamned thing about that orange trainwreck and his entire criminal, scumbag family. And I hope someone kills him. I fucking do.

I'm a white woman and I stand with every single person of color, Jew, Muslim, decent American who is against Trump. The country I used to think was a decent, if flawed, work in progress has turned into Germany 1933. That is not acceptable to me and it NEVER WILL BE.
