Michael Moore just made Don Lemon & White America very uncomfortble tonight, but I've got to agree

with him. He said, "If you're just holding down a woman while she's being raped, are you a rapist? People need to confront the fact that if you voted for a racist & still support him, you're a racist too. Lemon was stunned for a minute & said something about blowback, but Moore said he was so fed up he doesn't care anymore. It was a harsh, visceral analogy, but it's the despicable truth.

Any Trump voter who has followed these events since Saturday, watched this crap today, and still supports him is without question a fucking racist.

"yes". i said it on day 1 when trump announced that he was a racist and if you support him you're a racist too. i kept saying it on facebook too. i said "any of my friends who support trump, feel free to unfriend me". no one did.

However, from an extended work stint I did in Arizona, I have about 6 "Faceboink Friends" who did un-friend me soon as I posted the same.
And I was glad to lose their crazy posts showing up on my feed.

There's absolutely no way that anyone who supports Trump doesn't agree with his racist, sexist, xenophobic, "fuck the poor" personality. That's who Donald J. Trump is, and that's who they are.

FUCK THEM ALL!
