#i missed when america hated their fucking presidents or didnt give a fuck

[7amaspayrollmanager]

i heard that Biden was interrupted in his campaign speech like 10 times yesterday and i went to listen to it but i had to stop because the crowd would always drown out the protesters. A protester would yell "how many children have to die in gaz-" and then be drowned out by "4 more years!" You think the same crowd that would have the "stop racism and islamophobia etc" signs on their lawns would not be so politically opposed to people who used their freedom to dissent publicly against a president who claims to support his "diverse constituents unlike trump" while carpet bombing said diverse constituents' relatives. Pro-biden and pro-trump supporters have the same cultish mind sets as trump crowds fuck them. Youre not allowed to criticize the president that exists in their heads the ones they made fan edits for and thought would "save america from fascism." and if youre busy trying to write a response to my post about how these protesters are "allowed to do what they do but they shouldn't protest in such a vital stage of the election year" may i suggest that you understand that there is no "moral" reason not to protest a president that is sending billions of dollars to weapons to destroy Gaza. If you cant find that defensible or brave then might i suggest you read the first amendment and complain there. Because at that point its all respectability politics about a president that is responsible for genocide.

#not that i fucking care and believe that this constitution is really designed to protect ppls right they removed the protesters by force so #i missed when america hated their fucking presidents or didnt give a fuck #pro biden ppl are so stupid lost half their brains

My beef over Hillary Clinton’s loss is with liberal feminists, young and old

One picture, taken in the New York woods, restored presidential candidates to ordinary life. If Democrat had listened to ordinary Americans, she might have been president

The black mood of women feeling battered and bereft after Hillary Clintons loss was abruptly penetrated on Thursday by an image that brought the tears all over again.

It was a snap on Facebook taken on the hiking trails surrounding Chappaqua by Margot Gerster, a grieve Hillary supporter who was out strolling with her “girls “. Suddenly, she wrote, there was the audio of rustling. Then, seeming like a mirage in the clearing, was Hillary herself with Bill and their puppies, doing exactly the same thing as Gerster. The former president obliged Gerster by taking the photograph after she and Hillary had exchanged a few sweet pleasantries and hugged.

Nothing I have seen in the last 15 months of the campaign has resonated with me as much as the image that Gerster posted. It depicts Hillary wearing what looks like no make-up, her hair uncoiffed, garmented in a baggy black parka, brown leggings and boots, and holding the dog leash twisted in her hand as her poodle mixture snuffles among the carpet of foliages at her feet.

Only 24 hours after delivering the poised, dignified concession speech that masked her own sorrow and tried to mend ours, its as if she had finally been returned to the world as she really is: an approachable female in late middle age, hiking the roads with her dogs and her husband in the solitude of a beautiful fall morning, trying to cope with her ache. The sight of it, so comforting in the warmth of its ordinariness, was a visual rebuke to the aberration and the cruelty of the two attacks she has suffered.

She was my champion. I miss her, my 26 -year-old daughter grieved last night. Every disappointed Democratic supporter has her own target for anger, it seems. My daughters is her fellow millennials, who didnt come out in enough numbers to take Clinton to the White House. Clinton won this group by 54%, six points down from Obama in 2012. Always in a storm of umbrage about micro-aggressions, those crucial solipsistic stay-at-home millennials wound up enabling the macro-aggression of Donald Trump.

By contrast, Hillary has been the living personification of resistance to a torrent of intimidation that was not a construct, but horribly real. She faced an alt-right and Fox News smear campaign, followed by the coup de grace from the self-righteous FBI director who hasnt yet had the modesty to resign. She was called a robber, a offender, a liar who was too old, too past it , not cool enough , not authentic enough , not not not.

But there are iconic images of her heroism we should never forget: her cool accuracy through 11 hours of congressional assault in the Benghazi hearings, her victory in each presidential debate with crackling, well-prepared debates, even though in one she was watched by a peanut gallery of her husbands accusers disgracefully assembled by Trump to set her off her stride. The intent was to portray her as Bills enabler, which is the cruelest slander of all.

Hillary Clintons concession speech in full

Heres my own beef. Liberal feminists, young and old, need to question the role they played in Hillarys demise. The two weeks of media hyperventilation over grab-her-by-the-pussygate, when the airwaves were saturated with aghast liberal women equating Trumps gross remarks with sexual assault, had the opposite impact on multiple girls voters in the Heartland.

These are resilient girls, often working two or three chores, for whom boorish humen are an occasional occupational hazard , not an existential menace. They rolled their eyes over Trumps unmitigated coarseness, but still bought into his patter that hed be the greatest undertaking producer who ever lived. Oh, and they wondered why his behaviour was any worse than Bills.

Missing this pragmatic answer by so many females was another mistake of Robbie Mooks campaign data nerds. They calculated that Americas women would all be as outraged as the ones they came home to at night. But pink slip have reached entire neighborhoods, and townships. The angry white working class men who voted in such strength for Trump do not live in an emotional vacuum. They are loved by white working class girls their wives, daughters, sisters and moms, who participate in their remaindered pain. It is everywhere in the interviews. My papa lost his business, My husband hasnt been the same since his undertaking at the factory went away.

Even though, in the digital age, there was no bigger Trump lie than feigning fabricating jobs will ever return, rust belt women and plenty of others find him as the rough, tough boss who would bring the business back, and with it the manhood of the sad guy they love.

Trumps reality show crassness was another blind spot with upper-class liberals encompassing the election and operating Hillarys campaign. At every moment when the Trump tribe streamed behind him on to the convention stage or the tarmac, America saw images of a Kardashian Camelot: a phalanx of GQ men and leggy, gorgeous girls following the heavyset guy who had a private 757 airplane and a gold tower with his name on it.

While commentators sniggered, millions ensure the all-American success they dreamed of. They rooted for the guy who had it but was hated by the elites for having it. There are more tired spouses who want to be Melania sitting by the pool in designer sunglasses than there are women who want to pursue a PhD in earnest self-improvement. And there are more young women who find the smartness and modernity of Ivanka as the ultimate polished specimen of blonde branded content they want to buy.

In the entertainment era, even political candidates must be able to entertain. Which show would you rather watch? The Clintons round a table debating the right approach to solar energy, or the show about the rivalries between the Trump women who vie for “members attention” of a capricious patriarch? Four years is a long time.

Even though she won the popular vote by exactly what he expected to be more than two million ballots, Hillary was not destined to shatter what she has called, with agonizing ruefulness, that highest and hardest glass ceiling. So what do we want, and what do we expect from a woman leader who can win?

The killer rap on Hillary was that she was never authentic. I would argue that, born into a generation that had to break down so many culture walls, and wounded by a wedding that always involved her to cover up pain, she had PTSD on behalf of us all by the time she operated for chairwoman. Yes, even the complacent young person, who believed until now that they were living in a post-gender world.

If you want to see authentic girls leaders who can really entertain, you have to go now to the generation in their 40 s who do not have the combat scars of the women who were firsts. Its no good bringing up Angela Merkel. Germany is not the US. After the trauma of Hitler, theirs is an anti-charisma culture that actively distrusts pizzazz.

Why America elected Trump

Some fabulous women won senatorial elections. They are the post-Hillary icons. Kamala Harris in California is a political knockout, as is Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, who defeated an incumbent Republican senator. Shes a war veteran who lost both legs in Iraq. Watch for the rise of Ilhan Omar, the vibrant 34 -year-old former refugee and practising Muslim who became Americas first Somali-American female lawmaker. She beat out her Republican opponent to gain a seat in Minnesotas House of Representatives.

If you want to go global, cross the channel and look at the two wildly popular women at the top of politics in Scotland: Nicola Sturgeon, first minister of the Scottish National Party, is as direct as she is fearless. After the US election result, she doubled down on her distaste for Trump and condemned diplomatic stillnes in the face of attitudes of racism, sexism misogyny or fanaticism of any kind.

In opposition to her is another winner: Ruth Davidson, the kickboxing, working-class former territorial army member and open lesbian who, with her salty humour and irreverent debate style, has single-handedly made the once irrelevant Scottish Tory party a rising force. Maybe being around men in the army made her impervious to misogynist trolls. Nice. Classy. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Bet shes really proud of you, she tweeted to one who told her that what she needed was a good fuck.

The new media narrative is that the Clinton era is now over and done. But perhaps this last chapter of Hillarys life can be the most rewarding. On the job, she was always the first up and the last to go to bed. Heaven for her is poring over a briefing volume with her hair tied back in a scrunchy, cracking down on the run. Imagine the agony she must have endured while being deprived of the thing she loves doing most for 15 long months. Instead, she was forced to take over the grandstanding and gladhanding that shes never been good at.

She still has an important role to play, and she began it in her concession speech by telling the young girls who, like my daughter, adore her, never to give up.

Hillary , now you can be the woman you really are, the woman in the timbers. More important to the rest of us, you can be the Queen Maker. A friend told me how, very late on election night, she snuck into her 10 -year-old daughters room as she always does, to tuck her in and remove her open laptop from the bed. She saw on the screen that her daughter had been in the middle of writing a letter before she fell asleep.

Dear Madame President, it began, I want to tell you the things that are important to daughters like me

The letter was unfinished.
