An anguished question from a Trump supporter: “Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?”
The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters – the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don’t…
That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought “Fine.”
That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, “Okay.”
That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, “No problem.”
That when he made up stories about seeing muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, “Not an issue.”
That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn’t care, you chirped, “He sure knows me.”
That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, “That’s cool!”
That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.
That when you heard him brag that he doesn’t read books, you said, “Well, who has time?”
That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, “That makes sense.”
That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, “Yes!”
That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man’s coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, “What a great guy!”
That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, “Thumbs up!”
That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, “That’s the way I want my President to be.”
That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they’re supposed to be regulating and you have said, “What a genius!”
That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, “That’s smart!”
That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was the middle of water and you have said, “That makes sense.”
That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, “falling in love” with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, “That’s statesmanship!”
That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids. has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas – he explains that they’re just “animals” – and you say, “well, ok then.”
That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.
What you don’t get, Trump supporters in 2018, is that succumbing to frustration and thinking of you as stupid may be wrong and unhelpful, but it’s also…hear me…charitable.
Because if you’re NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are *less* flattering.
so staff, when are you going to do something about the pornbots that have taken over tumblr? Are you going to wait until the app gets kicked off Google Play too? The bots have taken over this site to the point where the users CAN’T keep up with reporting them.

shoutout to the adhd people who did well in school for years but suddenly crashed and burned when the responsibilities outweighed their coping skills
shoutout to the adhd people who couldn’t finish college
shoutout to the adhd people who do great work but lose their jobs because of poor time managment
shoutout to the adhd people who don’t lose their jobs but can never advance because of their inconsistent performance
shoutout to the adhd people who want more work responsibilities but are afraid of what will happen when they inevitably make a careless mistake or their inattention leads something important to be forgotten
shoutout to the adhd people who have damaged their credit rating by forgetting to pay bills or return library books
shoutout to the adhd people who work their ass off every day but never know if the results will be stellar, average, or terrible
shoutout to the adhd people who have done just well enough to go most of their lives knowing something was wrong, but figuring they just needed to work harder to fix it.
Shoutout to the ADHD people who do sex work because that’s the only fucking job they can keep.
Shoutout to the ADHD sex workers who have had to fight through the toxic combination of ableism and whorephobia that comes from existing in this world as a neurodivergent sex worker; being told continuously that you’re worthless for not being able to hold a “””normal job,””” or that you’re “selling your body” and that makes you tainted.
Special shoutout to the ADHD sex workers who are struggling in the wake of SESTA/FOSTA.
You’re important, you’re not worthless or tainted, and you deserve love and support.
Shout out to sex workers who can’t get medication for their ADHD due to the stereotypes about sex work and drug abuse. We deserve love and treatment too.
Shout out to sex workers who can’t even get a doctor to believe they have ADHD at all because doctors just think it’s drug seeking behaviour and a waste of time
Shout out to sex workers who try to see therapists for their ADHD only to find the therapist just wants to live vicariously through them. Or find that the therapist won’t consider any other diagnosis but depression or PTSD that MUST stem from doing sex work
Shout out to sex workers who want to get out of sex work but can’t without medication and can’t find a doctor willing to treat them.
Shout out to sex workers whose every work related action is used against them by doctors. Nocturnal sleep schedule? Must just be a wild partner. Drinking alcohol at work? Must be substance abuse. Arrested for prostitution? Can’t be trusted with controlled substances like ADHD meds.
We matter. We are worth loving and supporting. We are worth everything they are denying us and more.
op of this post on their sideblog here. these are SUPER IMPORTANT additions! reminder to people who follow who aren’t in sex work that sex workers deserve to be treated with respect and deserve the same access to medication as everyone else!
this is a bit of an emergency
BAD NEWS AHEAD
If you use Tumblr, backup your stuff right now and make a post redirecting your followers to another account, Twitter or something like that
Apple removed Tumblr from the App Store because their porn bot problem got too big, and they don’t allow explicit NSFW apps
Tumblr, like the galaxy-brained geniuses they are, are going on a spree and deleting lots of NSFW blogs
Even famous artists like cutesexyrobots and eigaka got their blogs purged, so ACT QUICK
