I detest Trump, but a ‘redneck’ fixed my Prius with zip ties

"My fury has been bottomless. I drink my morning coffee from a cup that says, "I hate to wake up when Donald Trump is President." The constancy of my outrage has been exhausting, yet I have not yet found a way to quell it — nearly each day has brought a new reason to stoke the fire. But a day with my daughter, communing with the angry and the aggrieved, seemed a good way to try."

Mentally raging on the hugh and series cruelties Trump is unleashing on America

Yeah, like a stronger economy, getting to keep a bit more of what you earn, courts that may rule according to the Constitution, fewer unnecessary regulations based on fake problems, a border that is actually a BORDER...

“When my husband and I first moved to Charlotte
eight years ago, “
Is “Husband” reference to the females in the photo?

It’s because many of them believe that being intelligent is to do nothing more than memorize talking points. The same way they believe that “winning an argument” is accomplished by shouting down the other side.

They do not engage in actual thinking or reconciling all the facts themselves, anything that doesn’t reconcile is just dismissed as “lies”.

“I pity native Carolinians with Progressives moving in.”

My beautiful state of Virginia has been overtaken. Being conservative in the metro is akin to being Christian in Diocletian’s empire with no Constantine on the horizon.

"I hate to wake up when Donald Trump is President."

The solution seems simple, don't wake your snowflake self up. That would solve two problems.

She will be but her type will never admit it.
I like the one comment(read them at the source) about feeling sorry for her spouse and kids.

Cant imagine living in the same house.

FWIW, I see a mention of a husband, but no mention that he is no longer her husband.

Remember all the daily articles from Republicans on how they hated Obama and wished he would die?

Me nether.

If those articles existed, how could we not remember them? People like Ruth Mayer would remind us of them every day. Of course, instead we hear that TRUMP IS TOTALLY EVIL!!!!!!!11111! and we need to heed those loving, open-minded Democrats, who are supposedly more rational and less agitated.

Without reading the 130+ comments, I’ll just say, that’s why we call it ‘Tampon Bay’.

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. Proverbs 25:21-22

It could be interesting to imagine the resulting article had this "redneck" done something different. (I'd guess that Our Redneck has a better chance than Our Ruth Mayer of knowing something from the Bible and applying it fittingly.)

As I drove home, I felt the full extent to which Trump has actually diminished my own desire to be kind. He is keeping me so outraged that I hold ill will toward others on a daily basis. Trump is not just ruining our nation, he is ruining me. By the end of the drive, I felt heartbroken.


Trump has turned her into a devil! He’s sooooooo bad to make her evil. Meanwhile the majority of the rest of the country is doing just fine. How could this be?

It’s amazing that she allows Trump to have so much power over her, but I guess it is pretty evil that he won’t allow the dissolution of our borders so we can be overwhelmed by Third Worlders.

You’re right. The article turned me off so much, I stopped reading it.
