    I know there are deeper material forces at play but for a large part the Trump movement really took wings because white America couldn’t handle Obama being president while black. And that’s just fucking incredible. Like if you peeled away all the layers of ignorance and racism they’ve accumulated you’d find ones labeled things like “Dijon mustard is gay and European” and “The Obamas got a dog that is gay and European” etc etc and there is a non-zero percent chance that the pebble that triggered the landslide of cheeseburgered fascism was shit like that.

    When I die please extract my brain and stomp it through a colander in front of these people so they can have a visual metaphor for what the rest of us went through putting up with this stupid shit.
