Joe Scarborough emodies White male patriarchy saying Trump put Hillary on the defensive

Donald Trump was a bully last night. He was an unhinged bully who skulked about and hovered around Hillary in a very creepy and predatory like manner. Joe and the rest of his ilk are framing this narrative that this put Hillary on the defensive. Hillary has swam with and destroyed bigger sharks than Donald Fucking Trump. She handled him the way a seasoned and intelligent person is and I am god damned tired of this bullshit about her being on the defensive, as if we are totally going to gloss over his absolute creepy and predatory manner of standing behind her with that scowl on his face. This bullshit about how he stopped the bleeding. He may have stopped the bleeding but its to the point where too much blood has spilled out and there was no pulse to the point where we are now talking about amputation.

So yeah...technically he's still in it but the damage has been done. But I am so beyond disgusted at how people are framing this in a way by saying "why didn't Hillary put him away last night" and "Hillary seemed unsure of herself" and "this was Trump's best debate peformance". We are so used to accepting mediocrity. This is so disgusting. I am now more energized than I have ever been to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am embarrassed as a male and infuriated that the media and others have normalized the racism, xenophobia, islamaphobia, sexism, and downright mentally disturbed nature of this son of a bitch to get to this point of being so close to being President of the United States. America needs to send a clear message next month that this will not be the UK's Brexit and show Trump to be the loser that he is.

it will be the awakening of intelligent men. The patriarchy has not been just deadly to women, but to men too. It has cut men off from their basic decency and encouraged behavior such as the deplorables.

Thanks for your work for Hillary because we will be stronger together.

I think its a brilliant strategy. Going further, if there are n-word tapes, I hope someone sits on them for another 2 weeks.
