2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIf you were one of Trump's victims, do you think you'd come forward?
To be honest, I don't think I would. I'd be too scared. The women who have come forward are national heroes.

(2,795 posts)She asked for women to contact her, so I think if I wanted to step forward, I would go through her. Maybe then you might have a little more recourse if you were to get harassed.

(3,063 posts)I would be too afraid of retaliation from Trump's supporters to come forward on my own.

(874 posts)the stakes are so high and this guy is a monster.
NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)because it's important that this monster is stopped. But I can sympathize with women who wouldn't. You're named and shamed, ridiculed, possibly sued.
And some people, mostly men, dare ask why these women didn't come forward sooner!

Just kidding...
It would depend on the severity of what he did. If he groped me I'd seriously punch him in the balls so hard he'd sound like a Soprano. I'm guessing with his temper he'd hit me back and then I'd have injuries, so I'd have proof of something happening. I'm pretty sure I'd speak up right away just because it would be my nature to fight/challenge back. I was married to an abuser for a decade and I got beat on probably 10 times as bad as I would have if I didn't fight back.

(9,886 posts)I've been groped. On the job. Years ago. Who needs the aggravation? I wouldn't be turning my life upside down because of those two pathetic jerks.

(89,239 posts)That this guy is running for national office and lied on tv while attacking others in ugly ways.
Reaction is"YOU DISGUSTING HYPOCRITICAL LIAR"
And each one that comes forward encourages others to do the same.
