is it just me or does 2016 kinda feel like a fever dream?
Like there was the big election that seemed like it was advertised way more than any other election we’d had before
then there was the killer clown thing that we did nothing about
that weird app between vine and tik tok was popular called musical.ly or something
there were like no bigger artists that put out music (except for maybe Ariana grande I think) so we were just kind of bopping to weird rappy-hip pop songs that nobody really knew the names of the artists who made them
I’m not even gonna start on the god awful make up trends I’m mean Jesus Christ
everyone was still coping from the loss of one direction.
bc thats what it is. no one wanted to like her, no one wanted to trust her. people who supported her kept having to add the disclaimer that they didn’t really want her in power, she was just the ~lesser of two evils~
the republican smear campaign against her worked bc people love to hate women
and it doesnt matter how good they are at what they do. doesnt matter that she’s the most competent person to run for president maybe ever. ppl would rather see a dangerous, unstable, bigoted lunatic in the white house than a woman. ppl who voted for bernie would rather switch their support to gary johnson – whose platform is much closer to trump’s than it is to bernie’s – than support the woman who beat their old white fav. trump is winning bc he’s running against a woman, and the misogynist masses would give literally anyone but her the win
this is so funny because i, personally, am exhausted by how much white women love to claim the victim narrative. wake up, girl. it’s black women who are driving the gender gap against trump… white women are voting him in by a majority (:
no person of colour gives a shit about whether or not hillary is or was likable–many of us voted for her despite disliking her because we were scared shitless of the other option.it is genuinely shocking to me that you would implicate black and latino men in this when it was white people all along.
it wasn’t about the republican smear campaign against her–it was the racism and bigotry donald trump campaigned with that appealed to white voters.
get this into your head: it wasn’t about her being a woman except peripherally. it was about race. white voters weren’t voting against clinton–they were voting for trump,for racism,forthe deportation of muslims and latinxs. sear this chart into your little eyeballs and TAKE SOME FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

With 99% reporting, approx. 292k of people in Florida voted for 3rd party and DJT WON FLORIDA WITH 132K! I hope that my fellow Floridians who “voted their conscious” ARE FUCKING HAPPY.
I’m disgusted! My state could have been BLUE for another election and yet – here we are.
I’m going to say this now, although I know for sure that I’m not the only one that will be saying this tonight and/or in the coming weeks.
Any time I find out someone new in my life voted for either DJT -OR- for ANY third party candidate in 2016, I will have nothing AT ALL to do with them. In the best case scenario I will politely get my ass away from them and drop them like a stone. In the worse case scenario? Let’s just hope I’m not going to be spending a night in jail.
Cute Guy/Gal (I’m not going to insult anyone that’s NB here) that’s flirting with me voted for Johnson or Stein? Bye-bye.
Someone who wants to throw a substantial amount of money at a project I’m working on voted for DJT? NO. Not doing business with you.
I will do due diligence with every new person in my life, I want NOTHING to do with people who think that this was FOR ONE SECOND a good idea.
And that I vow, regardless who wins the Presidential Election tonight.
My bisexual, possibly non-binary / woman-leaning, white-passing latinx, chronic mental illness ass wants NOTHING TO DO with anyone that voted for anyone besides Hillary Clinton.
