It really feels like there is only one thing these people understand. But if we go there, it’s all over for this country.😞

Those were the days.

If you think that's bad, wait till ya hear about his Health & Human Services nominee.

Right? I grew up in a time where if this was known , the person faced consequences. There were also a lot more that went on behind closed doors we turned a blind eye to

The internet has provided the vehicle for coalescing every idea coming from village idiots across the globe, then making them accessible to said village idiots thus giving them legitimacy by virtue of them being published on the Internet.

The internet gave the world’s worst people with the worst ideas a large captive audience. What could go wrong?

They were banished from polite society. So here they are.

Again: it’s nothing less than sabotage; a concerted effort to destroy the institutions to which they’re appointed.

Our enemies must be clutching their sides in fits of laughter that destruction the likes of which they dared not dream about, is now being visited upon us via the Oval Office, itself.

trump is permission to be a bigot again

We were shouting this as loud as we could before Nov 5th

Unfortunately too many either didn't believe it or were outright complicit

This is the key and most people don’t even understand it

Banished or hidden in plain sight?

Now they’re trying to run society.

Maybe we were naive, but I lot of us growing up in the 70s REALLY believed racism would die in our lifetime. We ridiculed racists, we didn’t reward them.

Still should be the case. Current conditions have emboldened them to come out of the woodwork though.

They still are. It’s just that polite society is shrinking. It shall return.

And hopefully will be soon again

They really were, weren't they? Sometimes I tell my kids about the world I grew up in, and it sounds like a fairy tale. It wasn't perfect, maybe not even good, but it sure seemed like people were putting in the work to make it better. What the hell happened?

It’s weird when being a real dick is considered an asset it getting hired.
