Dec 2016

I fucking grew up politically when George W Bush was nominated. I don't know what the fuck a "Wall Street Democrat" fucking is. I am fucking tired of this sick shady shit pointing fingers at the only people who were working their asses off to stop Trump--that would be Democrats--for those still living in the delusion that casting 3rd fucking party votes somehow helped this fucked up situation we find ourselves in. What the fuck is WRONG with people who write crap like this? Pre-criticizing Democrats for fucking what?

The entire progressive left failed to stop Trump. The media fucked up for a buck up. Racists and sexists and single issue gun and pro-life voters came out in droves. Some of us were too pure and some of us were too apathetic, and some of us didn't listen to valuable constructive criticism, sure.

But I don't blame the fucking victims--I cast blame on every hand that voted for one of the most obvious assholes of our time.

And I'm not giving in to those motherfuckers either.
