Aibu...... To hand out grips

From reading MN this morning I fully expected on leaving the house to see people rushing around in a state of hysteria. To see sobbing, devastated people unable to look their daughters in the eye on the school run.

Nope.

Have a grip

Maybe the ultra far right seems organised and scary now but I doubt it will last now youve got he Republicans back in

They ARE the ultra far right, don't you get that? Trump wants to stop all muslim immigration, build walls on the borders, remove all reproductive rights from women, and start a trade war with China. And that is just his first week.
They ARE the people we should be afraid of.

And all these things being listed here - they are being hailed as the things that will "make America great" again. People actually think these are good things.

They are Republicans and they are the ultra far right. Women are second class citizens is the least of their doctrines.

Republicans are not the ultra far right. The US does not allow communists in. It is possible that they might also want to prevent extreme Islamists from coming in
(But not moslems). They will not do that. Freedom of worship is what they do best.

Trump's campaign manager is a woman. He has no plans to make women second class citizens FGS.

CaesiumTime · 11/11/2016 15:25

A KKK-endorsed man who openly bragged about assaulting women has risen to power by stoking rural, white Americans’ fears, and, come January, every branch of the federal government will belong to him and his allies.

CaesiumTime · 11/11/2016 15:26

He doesn't "plan" to make women second class citizens. He already has by his actions.

He believes that women's bodies are public property. Not sure how much more "second class" you could get than that.

The US does not allow communists in.
Confused

What?

You realise there are communist parties in the USA and even real live communists living in the USA, right?

MitzyLefrouf · 11/11/2016 15:39

Some communists were even......................born and raised in the USA

gratesnakes · 11/11/2016 15:41

I agree that Trump is a knob. And I believe that he groped women although that is not proven.
I also know that Bill Clinton spunked all over a young Intern's dress and then he and Hillary lied about it and humiliated her. That is a proven fact.
Good people rarely get to the top in US politics.
However, Trump is now the servant of the American people. They want him to deliver growth and jobs. So that is what he will try to do.

gratesnakes · 11/11/2016 15:49

Thy don't let communist party members in. From the homeland security website:

(i) In general.-Any immigrant who is or has been a member of or affiliated
with the Communist or any other totalitarian party (or subdivision or affiliate
thereof), domestic or foreign, is inadmissible.

SerendipityPhenomenon · 11/11/2016 15:50

The racists are predictably coming out of the woodwork - twitter.com/i/moments/796417517157830656 - and the KKK are holding a rally to celebrate the election result. Unless Trump is prepared to stamp on all this very very firmly this can only get worse. And he's not going to, is he?

Assange has an accusation of rape against him. It hasn't hurt him at all. But he certainly doesn't want to go to the USA to be tried, which is why he is holed up in the embassy. He fears that more than the rape allegations.

Can I hand out goady badges instead?

Tinfoil hats are all the rage this week.

Trigger warning

gratesnakes I linked a list of all the women who have made allegations against Trump. The list is absolutely horrific and includes the rape of a minor as well as groping (which is sexual assault). To whit You replied:

"I agree that Trump is a knob. And I believe that he groped women although that is not proven.
I also know that Bill Clinton spunked all over a young Intern's dress and then he and Hillary lied about it and humiliated her. That is a proven fact."

Are you actually asserting that in contrast to Bill Clinton there is no evidence for the allegations against Trump and therefore the allegations are false? Have you reviewed the evidence against Trump?

And are you asserting that regardless of these allegations, everyone should just "get on with it" as he is the President Elect now?

Please can you clarify the point that you were trying to make as I find the entire premise of your post both shocking and sickening.

And please read the MN campaign: We Believe You
