I spent yesterday reassuring a daughter who can’t understand why half of Americans hate her and more with a trans woman gaming friend who is suicidal.
Hold the phone. . . Your daughter thinks half the population voted for Trump because they hate your daughter??

Shades, over half of the country voted for the guy whose campaign and PACS spent 100 million dollars on an advertising campaign that dehumanized my daughter. R politicians incited a moral panic using transwomen as a scapegoat, accusing them of pedophilia. You may not have cause to see all the vile, unspeakable abuse hurled at transwomen by the macho MAGA types, but I do. The sheer cruelty is off the charts.

The agenda of the R party is pretty explicit — simply erase trans as an identity. Trans doesn’t exist, and if you claim to be trans, you are mentally ill, period. Half the country voted for that, so why wouldn’t she conclude they hate her?

Go “F” yourself, ceeboo. You're part of the problem.
Ceeboo could well be appointed to some squadron under Trump that will send the unsupportive to concentration camps.

Everyone here should be very afraid. The camps are being set up and forces are being organized ....

Or perhaps it's just a bunch of hyperbole designed to manipulate and pit one against another. Maybe the rhetoric should be toned down a bit?

Yeah, maybe we should take a wait-and-see approach. If they do come for us resistance may be futile.

In your case you would be immediately promoted to court jester in the dystopian world you seem to be envisioning. They are well cared for. Tyrants love jokes.

You're talking about the Trump campaign right? It's a little too late for such facile drivel.

So Dr Exiled, do you believe Trump will be harmless?

Dr. Exiled is retarded and says whatever the latest conspiracy theory tells him to say.

You should pity his lack of... well, everything except delusion.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
