Count me among those who are overflowing with patriotism. These speakers are incredible and everything America stands for - anyone who can't see that is completely lost.
I'm officially out of superlatives for these speakers. GOD DAMN what a line up
DH and I keep saying the same thing. High caliber, passionate, and every possible angle, every single night. The stark difference from the RNC is mind blowing
The DNC obviously put more thought into their speaker lineup than the RNC did.
Trump's plan for RNC speakers: every person he met: "Are you Republican? Would anyone recognize your name from up to 50 years ago? Yes? I'd like you to speak Scott Baio!"
I am patriotic AS FUCK, but this convention has been like the best patriotgasm ever, because it also includes a lot of things I have always believed and felt like were important... like gay rights. I firmly believe the constitution supports these things, and this week has been like everything I ever dreamed of.
AMERICA FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
All of this. These poor people and all Muslims being mistreated. Awful
One of my friends on FB (actually her husband) posted that Muslims make up 1% of the US population but 10% of its physicians, which is a 1000% over-representation. If we're going to resort to stereotypes, it should be "Muslims are doctors" not "Muslims are terrorists." The just unabashed bigotry of the right is astounding. That people are believing it is deeply disturbing.
That those people, and the amazing man whose son gave his life fighting for his - our - country, and who carries a constitution in his pocket, feel unwelcome is unacceptable.
