Morning.
I changed my password because I believe it was the same one i used at DU.
I was thinking this morning about all the things women/girls will loose:
Military service
equal pay (of course)
reproductive rights
the end of Planned Parenthood
Paying more for insurance
encouraged to not get an education.
...........
On Jan. 19 I am not spending ANY fucking money unless I have to. Fuck that guy. I hope the economy goes into the tank; I know people will be hurt, but as in the words of someone in some Ann Hathaway movie, "Gird your loins"

Ya know, when the Pres says that he and Bush had some difference all I can think is that I never considered Bush a bigot. Kind of on the dumb side yes, bigot not so much.

exactly. It's possible that will happen again, with Pence pulling the strings. I just don't know if he has the Machiavellian skills to do so. He'll need to appeal to tRump's ego

Mala, if you haven't seen this "The Closer" it might help a bit. It starts out depressing but gets more uplifting towards the end.

Quote by Mondobubba:
So, my former manager had this to say on Facebook:
I see and hear a lot of Republicans who voted for Trump being outraged that they are being lumped in with racists and homophobes. I get it. Not everyone who voted for him is and it is stupid to believe so. At the same time, I wonder if that is how Muslims feel when the new President and your party demonizes them all as terrorists? Or how Mexicans feel when the new President and your party demonizes them all as nothing but rapists and drug dealers? Or how black people feel when the new President and your party demonizes them all as thugs and cop killers? Or how women feel when the new President and your party tells them they are not allowed to be in control of their own body and are not worth as much as men and should be punished for getting an abortion? Or how the LGBTQ community feels when the new President and your party labels them all as broken and abominations? Doesn't feel good to be labeled something you are not.
I also see a lot of Republicans who voted for Trump being confused as to why minorities are upset and are calling the protests that are happening a case of sour grapes or people being sore losers (These are all white people, by the way, in case that wasn't already abundantly obvious). The issue isn't that Democrats lost and Republicans won. The issue isn't even that Hillary lost. The issue is that Trump won. Had it been any other Republican candidate that won, I strongly believe that these protests would not be happening. See my comments above. This is a candidate from a major party that not only ran on a platform of hate that enforced these stereotypes, but actually won. This morning on my way to work I drove past a car that had "N*ggers go back to Africa" written on it, flying a Confederate flag with a Trump/Pence sticker. So, while you may not be a racist, the new President is, as is a portion of his base(he was endorsed by the KKK for Christ-sakes) and a portion of the party he represents. These people have been emboldened. His election has made them feel righteous. It has brought bigotry to the mainstream and specifically told anyone who is not straight and white that they don't count and that you can do and say anything you want to them without repercussion, because hey, Trump has. You, the non-racist who voted for Trump, turned a blind eye towards all this. It wasn't secretive. It was out in the open and you decided that not only is it acceptable to you, but it should be rewarded with the Presidency. Why? "Well, I just don't like Hillary". That is why people are scared. That is why people are upset and it is justified and don't you dare think otherwise.
I literally can't make it any clearer. If this post makes you angry, good. It should. I hope to God it makes you angry for the right reason.
This is the world we live in now, and I, for one, will not stop fighting. I will not sit idly by. I will do everything in my power to ensure that the rights and dignity of ANY AND ALL of this nations citizens are protected.

Always thought Oberman was kind of a jerk but he does have a way with a rousing word.

You can't stay inside, Liv.
On a really bright side, I had a great conversation with our state delegate.
I pm'd him to see how he was doing.
It was a real convo, It helped.

Liv, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! Take a walk, do something. I spent most of the day yesterday brooding and it was the worst. When a friend asked me over for pizza and movies, I jumped at the chance.
