On Hamilton, Pence, and "this is why Trump won"

1. thank you for this

2. The Victim-Persecutor-Rescuer Cycle

If you get caught with a manipulator in the Victim-Persecutor-Rescuer Cycle that person will always win.

As persecutor, they make you into a victim, and then they can turn around act as your rescuer.

If you resist, they become the victim, and force you into the rescuer role.

The only way out is to not play.

Kudos for the response from the cast of Hamilton - they stayed disengaged.

3. wish I could "rec" this

[mountain grammy]

7. You got it!

5. Damn good advice. Let's all keep it in mind. (nt)

6. As for fthe racist tag, we should respond:

Double-standards are the evidence of racism. And they have a lot of them.

[mountain grammy]

8. No, no and no

For one thing, trump didn't win, so there's that and so much more. We can be quiet when we are ready to accept the horror America will become. I, for one, am not ready.

9. Russians installed this motherfucker. He did not win and this will be thrown in their face for

allowing the installation to occur in the first place. They have delegitimized the United States government and that was the real goal.
I have survived abusive relationships and now will adapt to survive the authoritarian regime. Resist and subvert.

[ehrnst]

10. I will continue to call out racism, misogyny, bigotry and xeniphobia. I will not normalize it. (nt)

[ancianita]

11. I wish this were all it really was. But it's not. Winning hearts and minds will keep us stuck in old

school political minority status for good until we look hard at the structure that have been put in place to disenfranchise voters to the Republican advantage.

Remember the popular vote loss. We won them. Something else made them lose. We have to face that reality or they will always lose.

[world wide wally]

12. This was a minimal coup.

There were enough ignorant voters to make it close enough for Comey to swing and for the Russians to put across the finish line.

13. Seems to be something missing. Are you referencing an article?

If so, link please?

[NeoConsSuck]

14. I think the OP is referring to the newest right wing meme..

In fact, a right wing family relative posted on FB the exact same thing: He linked to a story of the Broadway/Pence story, with the exact same line, 'This is why Trump Won'.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

19. It says "On..."

which normally indicates that something on the subject will follow, not just the subject stated.

Apparently the OP was referring to this, https://twitter.com/JeremyMcLellan/status/799993649782063104, but didn't bothert to link to it or tell anything about it.

[Duppers]

21. "On" *the subject of* is understood.

But thanks for the link.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

26. That was my point.

Turns out the image with the content didn't load for me earlier, so the OP appeared to be woefully incomplete, rather than simply annoyingly incomplete--which it was by lacking a link.

15. 1000

16. I'm not stupid, just ornery today......but I have no idea.......

what you are saying & or what you are asking people to do. Please explain.

If I'm being asked to keep my mouth shut......well there's no fucking way that's going to happen.

[raging moderate]

17. No, that is NOT the message of this OP.

I am sure of that. The message is a warning that the Republicans will be trying to make us keep our mouths shut.

We are all so exhausted and so worried right now. It is easy to misunderstand. We need to give each other some slack, some benefit of the doubt.

[mrmpa]

24. Thank you...not so ornery today....n/t

[Thekaspervote]

18. Okay, but

when the abuser is so over the top that even the smallest of barb makes him recoil it simply can not be sustained. That takes a LOT of psychological energy. the psyche, mind and body of even the most healthy balanced individuals will crumble, let alone someone like him!!!

[Duppers]

22. And "can not be sustained" means what?

That he'll breakdown? All the better. Then we can work on getting rid of Pence, which may be tougher. However, part of his own party cannot stand him either.

It's all revolting.

20. A jerk at work once told my boss: "I have to talk to her like that. It's the only thing that works."

Abusers always see it as their god-given duty to correct anyone who crosses their path. If you just acquiesce, then they'll stop, maybe.

But the crime of crossing them in any way must be punished. They never see that they are in control of their own choices: Someone else required correction. It had to be done. The abuser had no choice. The victim's behavior required punishment.

Yep: That's how all of the gop see their role: God chose them and so they got the most votes so they know everything and are infallible. Until they're caught and sent to jail...

25. Sorry bigtree, but dumpster didn't win.
