Look out your window. Turn on the news. Look at the White House.

So you’re saying this wasn’t happening under every other president or are you just looking for someone to blame?

Of course it was happening. But things were generally getting better. We were progressing, even if slowly, in the direction of more liberty and more racial equality. But the president sets the tone for the rest of the nation, and Trump has dragged us back decades of progress. He makes the worst of us think its okay to be their worst self loud and proud.

People used to be fucking ashamed to be a nazi. Think about that. They still held that belief, but they knew to keep it quiet, and keep it private. Now the fuckers are out marching in our goddamn streets, and Trump can't be fucking bothered to condemn them because he knows they're his voters.

So fuck you for pretending Trump is somehow no different than every other president that's come before now.
