Apples and dog turds*

For the sake of clarity, President-elect Donald Trump will be referred to as “fuckface” (lowercase) in this blog post.

If I hear one more white person whine, “We didn’t protest when Obama was elected,” I seriously don’t know what I might do or say.

Oh, you didn’t protest a lovely man with an intelligent wife who has spent his life working to make life better for others. How noble of you. And also, how dare you compare protesting Obama and protesting fuckface in the same sentence. In the same context. It’s like comparing apples to dog turds.

The rest of us are absolutely devastated that our country elected an accused child rapist, racist, woman-hating, narcissistic ass hole who has no qualms about cheating his fellow hard working Americans out of millions of dollars for work that they performed.

“Give him a chance,” they say.

The way you gave Obama a chance? A man who patiently weathered your hate for eight years and STILL managed to push through legislation to provide healthcare for millions of Americans? A man who worked to help YOU and YOUR FAMILY even whilst you spit in his face?

Nope.

I sincerely hope that the fuckface administration is successful in helping my fellow Americans. I also sincerely doubt that will happen.

Those of us who did NOT vote for trump: We have work to do. We have anger, sadness and frustration that we must somehow morph into productive work. Now is not the time to worry about being embarrassed or quiet. When you see people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, Muslims … anyone who has been marginalized by this election—being harassed or discriminated against, you must speak up. WE must speak up. We have to let our fellow Americans know that WE see them. We hear them. WE care.

Even if President-elect fuckface and his supporters don’t.
