    I can excuse racism and pedophilia, but my financial wellbeing is where I draw the line!

      If more people actually worked like this, we’d have fewer issues. Rightwing policies are absolutely terrible for working class people, and workers far outnumbers the groups that would benefit financially from these policies (even when the people in power are somewhat more reasonable than Trump and don’t sacrifice the entire economy for their insider trading schemes).

      Man, I mean, that kind of is the ugly truth, isn’t it? Some people actually can excuse racism and pedophilia if it means there’s a shot at personal gain. I’m not surprised, really, just wholly disgusted.

        I know right? The dude said “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything” and ”I moved on her like a bitch.”

        When I heard that during his first campaign, I thought he was done, no one could possibly accept such deplorable behavior, right?

        …and here we are.

      In the best scenario this is a wedge in what they believe. “If he lied about this… is he lying too about the rest?”

        He has lied about so much and been proven wrong, so sadly I doubt anyone will take that away from this
