Screw Being Nice. If You Voted For Trump, F-You And Yes, You are Racist



I can’t f*cking take it, folks.

Everyone sharing all these “I don’t think you’re racist cuz you voted for Trump, but it means you’re OK with racism” memes. Or substitute “racist” with any number of things. Homophobic. Anti-Semitic. Xenophobic. Sexist. A body shamer. A person who mocks disabled people. A sexual predator. A liar. A fraud. A hypocrite. A con artist.

And that shit is just what I thought of in the 30 seconds it took me to type that.

So everyone on Facebook and Twitter and whatever is trying to make nicey-nice with the Trump voters and passive aggressively shaming them by saying, in a roundabout way, “OK, OK, I know you’re not really like that, but you do realize that’s what he’s like, right?”


You know what?

F*CK. THAT. NOISE.

Yes, if you voted for Trump, I absolutely judge you. You ARE like that. I wonder if you’re going to grab my pu$$y when I’m not looking. I wonder if you’re going to try to attack my gay friends. I wonder if you’re going to think about burning down that mosque on the other side of town.

If you were to know me in 'real life' angrily confronting strangers or acquaintances about their political beliefs is not my M.O. ... since the election I have not held back any where.

If you vote for a person engaging in racist/ bigoted speech and deeds, you are supporting racism and bigotry. If you support racism and bigotry you are a racist/ bigot.

I am using the term "bigotry"" as a catch all for misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, anti semitism and all of the other bigoted hate (I apologize for using this shorthand, but have typed it too many times in the last 12 days)

I spoke with a number of Trump voters, and only a couple even bothered to disguise their dislike of black people.

I will not "respect" these IDIOTS for having voted the wrong way, and the vast majority of these idiots have voted the wrong way, time and time again, for 30 to 35 years.

You can't fix stupid. They don't deserve any respect.

I said it the day after the election, and I haven't waivered. A vote for Trump was a vote for a moron, a bigot, a racist and a sexist. There is something seriously concerning about anyone who could look past all the negatives that the SOB didn't EVEN try to hide - and still vote for him.

Not my President. No way in hell.

the list of labels is long. I have one family member that liked trump. It was not a surprise, he already walks that MO. (He didn't bother to vote.)

It is hard, I find myself seeing a "typical" looking trump supporter and I instantly have judgement and anger. Just out in public! Wow, what has been created with this election.

I have NO use for any of them. I don't like Republicans. I don't want to have dinner or be friends with them. They have elected this. . . orange. . . thing, and yes, they are racist.

As a non-observant big, gay JEW (with the operative word being BIG) who comes from a LONG line of non-observant--secular non-believers who only carried the "taint" of Judaism in their blood--I think I can empathize with how German Jews felt about their colleagues & friends voting for Nazis. Despite the frisson of pleasure the good Germans felt when they listened to their marching music, it certainly didn't match the terror all the 'subhumans' felt as they were beaten, shot, gassed, chased, deported & reduced to ashes.

You vote for a fascist, and you are NOT friend of mine. Oh and yes-- if you voted for Trump, you are a fucking racist.
