So last week NBC News tweeted this vile, disgusting example of primitive leader-worship so obsequious it may make you vomit; everyone involved in this, or who thinks it’s wonderful, deserves to be ruled by fucking emperors again. The childish need for all-powerful, superhuman heroes to tell you what to do is exactly what put Trump in power. It’s exactly why the US is busily engaged in murdering people all over the world. It’s why you’re groped before you can get on an airplane. It’s why cops are murdering innocent people in the street without any repercussions whatsoever. It’s why you no longer have the civil rights so many fought so hard for. It’s why the US cages five times as many people as civilized countries do. It’s why you have Gestapo asking for your fucking papers every time you turn around. THIS; naked fascist authoritarianism. And you know what? I totally wouldn’t care if it didn’t affect me. You are a free individual who has the absolute right to bow and scrape before an inhuman monster merely because she has a vagina if that’s what you like; go for it. The problem is that you want to drag me along with you and I DO NOT CONSENT. I don’t consent to authoritarians and fascists spying on me, robbing me, and threatening me with violence every time I try to do anything they don’t like. I don’t consent to having my life, my sexuality, my substance use and even my fucking food intake monitored by “authorities” or “experts”. And I don’t give a shit whether those control freaks have penises, vaginas, both or neither. Evil is evil, tyranny is tyranny, and I DO NOT CONSENT, now or ever.
I Do Not Consent

This is a clear message indeed. This is one of the reasons why I reached out to you. I feel if there are more who come this understanding and learn to actually do something about it, you would no longer feel alone or frustrated when you hear how close we are to have project these standards everyday. If it is clear that we all feel this way, why is there so much division on steps needed to move forward? As long as you continue to wave this banner I am sure you will continue to gather support. Sometimes I begin to feel it is over, that so many are willing to succumb; then I read your letter and I think wait, there might be hope…there might be…
I also feel that it is too late. If facebook can do stuff like this,

then imagine what the government knows about you. It doesn’t matter who we vote for, it is just a reality show. They are not really running things.
You’re right, watching this piece of disgusting drivel, all I was wondering was where I could throw up. The only encouraging thing about it is that the overwhelming proportion of responses, most from women, called it and Hillary out for what they are.
It seems critical thinking and questioning authority (even those who think they should be the authority when they’re not) are rapidly becoming lost traits.
Well stated
I couldn’t agree more. Clinton has nobody to blame but herself. A professional politician losing to an individual like Trump merely playing politics, is surely grounds to be considered one of the worst politicians in American history if not THE worst.
