What happened when I took a “White Women Elected Trump” sign to the Women’s March
Vox ^ | January 24, 2017 | Ali Tharrington

Back in November, I was not convinced I wanted to attend the Women’s March on Washington. I voted for Hillary Clinton, but I had complex feelings about what my motivations for going to the march would be, especially as it was then being organized by white women. Several of the black feminists I follow on Twitter expressed concern about whether the march would include and amplify black, brown, trans, indigenous, disabled, and queer women’s voices.

Cut to last week. A colleague sent me a profile of the march’s organizers, and I was heartened by what I saw. They were black, they were brown, they were in hijab. In the article, I read they hoped the march would go beyond the symbolic. They hoped that through “real, courageous conversations” and “really uncomfortable discussions,” we could start to arrive at a semblance of unity. That sounded like a march I wanted to attend.

As I searched a sold-out Michaels in Silver Spring, Maryland, for poster board, I thought about the message for my protest sign. Something simple and factual that would challenge both my own comfort and the comfort of other white women at the march....

No, I don't think it's satire.

If Trump cannot unite us all, he and we need to manipulate the remaining holdout factions into destroying one another.

In the case of this self-loathing white libhole woman, we need to somehow make non-white libhole women hate her for being white.

If these disparate libhole identity groups don’t want to simply be Americans, then we Americans need to manipulate them into cancelling each other out over their differences.

Did I somehow force you to click on to this thread? I guess I don’t know my own psychic strength.

Lionized on twitter, and an article online, for carrying a sign containing an objective fact. >>Sarcastic. Slow. Clapping.<<

I happened to have tickets to the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Saturday before the march. It was my third visit, and I was so excited to take my mom and best friend through its hallowed halls.

I’m a project manager from rural North Carolina, now living in DC, who cares about social, economic, and environmental justice.

This woman has not only drunk the Kool-Aid she has drunk the whole punch bowl.

She is a self hating SJW who blames white people for every bad thing that has ever happened in this country and probably the world.

If it was bad it was probably dreamed up and perpetrated by conservative white Republicans.

She is probably ignorant of the fact that slavery in the south was protected by Democrats, that Democrats started the KKK and that it was the Democrat Parties militant arm.

She is probably ignorant of the fact that most Blacks were Republicans up until the late sixties. She probably ignorant that LBJ’s war on poverty has done more damage to the Black community than all of the years of ‘Separate but Equal’ ever did.

It can’t be a coincidence that all of our inner cities are Black majority and that these cities for the most part have been dominated by Democrat Party for decades.

Dear lady you are not doing the minorities in this country any favors by helping them persist in the fantasy that other people are responsible for their plight. The only way the Blacks and other minorities will ever escape from their second class existence is if they take responsibility for their own lives and their own future and work hard to improve their own individual lives.

Social justice is a tool of the race baiting ‘Community Organizers’ to make a nice living selling hatred of white people and America. These people are in the business of keeping minorities poor angry and voting for Democrats.

If Blacks want to get off the plantation and get out of the hood they need to cut their ties to the Democrat Party, take responsibility for their own future and get an education that has a real job at the end of it

Intersectional feminism.

So ridiculous it’s uncomfortable to even type it out.

White women elected Trump.

The Russians elected Trump.

Racists elected Trump.

Sexists elected Trump.

Rural voters elected Trump.

The working class voting against their own interests elected Trump.

Fake news elected Trump.

Facebook elected Trump.

Supermarket tabloids elected Trump.

Celebrity (The Apprentice) elected Trump.

White male resentment elected Trump.

Over-shaming Trump supporters elected Trump.

Rejecting Bernie elected Trump.

Reagan democrats elected Trump.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein voters elected Trump.

Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.

FBI Director Comey elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

[Sarcasm? Maybe. Or maybe just practicing for a journalism career. I could get a job spotting Fake News for CNN, WaPo, or the NYT based on that insightful analysis alone.]
