Well, I just got told to "suck my dick" half a dozen times by Trumpettes

and worse. Considerably worse.

I was watching the live stream of HRC's speech and the live comments section was almost entirely Trumpettes saying vile things. So I jumped in and refraining from my fondness for certain curse words, took them on, calling them morons in the most polite of ways- and boy did that piss them off.

The stupidity was blinding. Worse even than the hate.

I'm sure you're not the only one in your office who's relieved he's gone. It must be frightening (or at the very least incredibly frustrating) to work with an irrational coworker.

I don't want to overreact and I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but just... be sure to lock your doors at night.

Some kid called me a "CUKE" on Twitch at the RNC Convention and now every week I whisper him with a new Donald disaster quote, and say, "Do you see, racist scum? Do you see now?"

He won't reply anymore. None of them will, anymore. Maybe they all went back to Russia.

As a special tip to other sport-hunters, the Trumpkins get really upset when you insist that they use proper English. "You demand it of the people who come here, racist poltroon. Learn to write it yourself, or get the hell out with your gutter speech."

Really upset.

People who want a Jesus-based science curriculum for public school students? losing. Uptight church folk who want HBO to stop showing all those nasty naked boobies? losing.

People who want Donald Duck Fuckleberry Shitgibbon Trump to be the next President of the US?

They're losing. And worse for them, they know they're losing.



The 21st century is happening, and the people who demand a return the good old days are shit out of luck. What you are hearing are the anguished yelps of folks whose own ideological obsolescence is gradually dawning on them.

Not wearing any kind of political attire and yet one guy called me a faggot and another, wearing one of his silly hats, got in my face-literally- and screamed "TRUMP!" He almost got shoved (by me) not because I'm a violent person--- at least I don't think I am-- but because I thought I was going to be assaulted.

Don't know what gave me away as a liberal... maybe the Birkenstocks.

Oh well... this all ends in a few months...I hope.
