Trump: Our last hope

It’s Not What You Think.

I’m not saying that I like Trump, because I don’t. I’m simply saying I am thankful for him as The Antidote for our American Passivity. Donald Trump has done what no other politician, spiritual leader, or whistleblower could have done; scared Americans into mobilization.

For this, I am grateful. As an outspoken community activist, I have been subjected to Whack-A-Mole-politics for many years now. Any time I pointed out an uncomfortable truth the club would come out. Today, however, there are not enough clubs to silence all the moles popping up from their cozy dens, condemning America’s harsh and hidden truths.

just to rouse the left out of its slumber... Seriously, what the hell did these people think electing Trump/staying home/voting third party would accomplish?

So what about those of us who fucking KNEW what kind of a nightmare the Trump Junta would be beforehand and tried to warn everyone? Most POC like myself saw the writing on the wall pretty early and knew what was at stake...

This is also the part where I mention many on this newly "woke" left did nothing but bash Hillary, play that stupid both-candidates-are-the-same bullshit card, or sat on their asses... But that's for another thread.

many people on this site would be bashing her and complaining. They would be the same ones who did nothing but criticize Obama, right here on this site, for eight years.

I always thought it was a shame that we needed a group just for our President, where we could praise his accomplishments. The rest of this site was fair game for slamming him.
