    I met a woman at an airport bar at LaGuardia in 2017, and after talking to her for a bit I learned she was a lesbian and then subsequently a Trump voter and supporter. I’m a cis straight white guy and the sentence “oh no I fuck women but I voted Trump because I care about my money” still makes me want to wretch 9 years later.

    For every moment where I feel a sense of solidarity emerging in the general US population I hear someone say that a VP of an oil and gas company is just ‘looking out for their family’ or something else equally bootlicker. I’m legit worried that even this nightmare reality hasn’t been enough to wake most people from their cognitive dissonance
