People in this thread are exactly why we have Trump. They couldn’t disentangle themselves from his hateful rhetoric. Meanwhile on college campuses there have been texts to black students telling them to report for cotton picking, white boys in red hats shouting at them to go back to where they came from, ironically since white men enslaved them and brought them to the US. There has also been increased antisemitism and Islamophobia. In the US sexist posts have increased by +1000% and “your body my choice” shirts are being sold on Amazon while guys continue to spike women’s drinks, and if women get pregnant as a result they may not be able to get medical care. Many of them had their rights stripped BEFORE they could vote. Many of them are gay or trans or a dreamer or have undocumented family or family from a shithole country or are plain sensitive because they have friends in those groups, all of whom are now uncertain about the future.

Let’s give people a minute to catch their breath, shall we instead of calling them weak. Honestly, if you’re calling them weak you’re probably privileged beyond measure or heartless.
