I fear that online misogyny was going to go up in general. Hell, would probably be worse with a Harris victory given how well those fucks would handle a woman president.
Given that the Onion’s prediction of a shrieking, white-hot sphere of pure rage following Obama’s election came true, you’re absolutely spot on. No matter who won, we’d still have lost.
My wife and I agreed, after decades of being opposed to it, it’s time to get strapped. Tired of this shit.
I'm just glad I'm not in the Midwest anymore, sure things are going wonderfully over there.
I was thinking recently that, if we have to stay here in the US, I would prefer that we move to Minnesota or Michigan than stay here in Ohio, as it seemed they had their shit together more so than we do, but the latter is certainly in question now. Hell, after last November’s referendum on reproductive rights, I was at least a little encouraged, but any faith I gained in people since then has rapidly eroded.
Wisconsin is nice, much better than Michigan or Indiana, highly recommend. My only visit to Minnesota made it seem even better.
If you're within probably 1.5 hours of the Minneapolis/st. Paul you're probably among sane folk, maybe within 30 of Duluth as well, but if you're out in the boonies and such you might be finding people who, while polite, might be flying a trump flag and think "city/colored folk" are the problem.
Yeah last year gave me hope that this year dashed
Well I at least don't have anything categorically to worry about with the incoming fascism other than autism, but still Colorado has at least been a good place for me and everybody I know out here, which includes more or less the whole spectrum.
Dude, when I was a kid I moved from the midwest to the south.
It was like going from a decent, but backwards place, to living under the fucking Taliban.
I warned everyone to get out of the south while they could, but I know it's not always possible, I just hope most made it.
The South will NEVER forgive our unimaginable crime, we elected a BLACK MAN over them, that is an evil they can never get over, and they genuinely believe we did it just because we knew it was the thing they hated most.
I watched a Jamie Oliver series some years ago (when Obama was president) and Jamie was out overnight with some cowboys and cooking over a fire. They were chatting about governments or something and one of the guys said something like 'You Brits get a woman, and we get a n*****.' Cue Jamie's shocked face. Later on in his tent he was visibly upset. Think he regretted going on that trip.
Am brown.
The south was intolerable, it's weird to see such naked racism in America.
But it's a fundamental part of their culture, it's why Obama was clearly a Muslim, because Christian means white to them.
I was born in New York, but the south was the only place where I wasn't an American to anyone there.
The problem is: most people never have to face the reality of the south, so it's easy to pretend it's just an exaggeration.
Just peachy in Ohio. In other news I’m getting the hell out
It's been increasing for a while now.
