I could barely get through the article. So stressful remembering the hate Trump brings out of people. The next four years will be more of this insane racist violence. 😡

I've never been able to get the two paragraphs I posted (screenshot) out of my head.

Excellent article… thanks for flagging it. This time it’s going to be worse… 😢

hey-leia.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yes, I think you're right. That was written in 2017 after the 2016 election. Think how much more emboldened they are now.

mmmarvalous.bsky.social•49 days ago

Exactly… larger permission structure to be racist and hateful than even then. Years of normalizing hateful rhetoric… sigh…

That’s what is so scary 🫣

I love that emoji! Perfect for the next four years - or longer!

😂😂 unfortunately, you’re probably right, but we just have to continue to stay strong, stand tall and always remember, this is our beloved Country too 😊

Should be required reading….

I’m interpreting Trump’s disgraceful election win as several millions of American’s just not caring about America. I believe all of us on this platform care deeply for our country, but many couldn’t care less who their president is, it’s shameful.

firemanswife.bsky.social•40 days ago

We still have to believe that love will defeat hate in the long run, I will always believe that in my heart and soul.

johnnyjeep63.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m with you on that, love over hate, good over evil. 🫶🏻💙

firemanswife.bsky.social•40 days ago

100% ♥️♥️

johnnyjeep63.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m remaining optimistic, we survived Trump’s first term so everyone should be better prepared this time around. 😏

firemanswife.bsky.social•40 days ago

Good for you, it won’t be easy, but anything worth fighting for is worth the fight. Stay strong, stay positive and always remember, America is your Country too 🇺🇸 ♥️

What happened to basic decency. Were so many people this awful all along, and just kept it under wraps because society wouldn't approve?

firemanswife.bsky.social•40 days ago

I kinda believe the latter, Mr. Trump has allowed all the deplorable’s to come out into the light, and like toothpaste, once out of the tube, it’s almost impossible to put it back 😵‍💫

hey-leia.bsky.social•49 days ago

I think about this a lot and the only answer I come up with is that Trump gave people permission to let their hate show.

laresidenttourist.bsky.social•49 days ago

I was shocked when people I knew went mad with joy and bellowed "build the wall!" Then I discovered it was many, many people who were like this. Now they're all pretending J6 didn't happen and are happily going along with thousands of other lies. I'm still reeling this is all acceptable now.

hey-leia.bsky.social•49 days ago

I know someone who is no longer a Trumper who said (back in 2016) that she wanted me on her side of "the wall." The wall became something impersonal and joke-worthy. Trump has managed to dehumanize people and at the same time, makes everything about him as the biggest victim of all. It's sick.

positivelychris.com•48 days ago

There’s no such thing as basic decency. It was all fake. Almost half of the United States is perfectly okay with voting for a racist felon to be the President. There’s no other explanation.

seasofsalish.bsky.social•40 days ago

Whoa. It’s hard to believe people think like this. I have a small circle on purpose.
