In modern history we’ve never seen a president who was less a creature of his party, and for many of Trump’s supporters that was a big part of the attraction. But what they may not have realized is that when they bought Trump, they’ll be getting the GOP and its agenda as part of the deal. How many of those working-class whites are on Medicaid, or use subsidies to get health coverage from the Affordable Care Act? They can kiss that goodbye. Were they hoping for a big tax cut? Sorry, when congressional Republicans write their tax-cutting bill it’ll be the wealthy who reap the benefits. Hope they’re ready for some new restrictions on abortion, and more pollution in their communities, and fewer rights on the job, because all that’s coming too. […] But Trump voters aren’t worried. They are sure President Trump will convince the Chinese to give us back our jobs, and bring back coal and steel, and roll back the last half-century of social progress. And then there’ll be so much winning, we’ll get tired of winning. Eventually they’ll wind up like the marks he took in with Trump University — taken in by the flash of golden cufflinks and the power of his celebrity, they’ll eventually figure out that it was all a scam. But by the time they do, the damage will be done.

Donald Trump just pulled off the greatest scam in American history

Fuck Trump. He’s not my President and he never will be.

Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on his wives). Elect him.

Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. 2 Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem.

Immigrants don’t pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn’t pay taxes. He’s a business genius.

Hillary’s foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people. She’s a crook. Trumps foundation paid off his debts, bought sculptures of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations while using less than 5% of funds for charity (and he got shut down by NY State). So savvy… Put him in the white house.

Trump made 4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same “small loans” he received would be worth $12 billion today… without a trail of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits and burned small business owners. He’s a real business whiz. Hillary took a loss of $700k. She’s a criminal.

Trump is the first candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns, and took a billion dollar loss in 1 year. Genius.

Hillary takes responsibility for private email servers and apologizes. Not credible. Trump denies saying things (on the record) he actually said (on the record), he’s just telling it like it is.

Your arguments are thin. Your ignorance of reality is shocking. Your double-standards are offensive, and your willingness to blindly support him and recycle the rhetoric is absurd. Your opinion is not fact. Your memes are not news articles. And your hypocrisy is not a platform.

Please help

So the situation I’m in right now is beyond ridiculous. There’s not really a way to explain what’s happening other than I have been harassed, stalked and now the people responsible are finding ways to call my extended family, are trying to call people I used to know or live with and are making my safety and well being very questionable.

My safety, my family’s safety and my roommates safety are all on the line unless I leave and get as far away as possible. The only solution left after several days of trying to figure out what to do, while everything to significantly worse hour by hour, is to emergency move out of by this Friday (November 4th).

The people threatening my safety are doing so over my asexuality and short hair cut (I wish I was making that part up). I am at risk of them outing myself and my roommate to people close to me including my abusive mother, my extended family, friends, co-workers and other people who cannot and should not know without my consent (some at the risk of worse treatment, such as my mother and most of my family.) I’m also at risk of them coming to where we live and doing goodness knows what to us at this point.

Its a very sticky situation that makes little to no sense (honestly I’ve felt like I’m on a drug trip or in a really vivid nightmare for the last few days). I haven’t slept, I’ve barely eaten, my roommate is in the same and worse shape from all this stress since it’s coming from their parents in an attempt to manipulate and abuse them. They have their own plan for getting out but we have to go separate ways for us both to be safe.

I am scared right now. I feel extremely violated from the level of stalking going on (we’re talking paid reports to find out my emails, phone numbers and past/present addresses). The fact that someone showing me so much hate knows all about me now, only because they could afford to pay for a deep search on some background website, has completely unnerved me and I just want to throw up.

At this point the idea of a restraining order has even been tossed around by my roommate and I even though I now have plans to leave in the next few days. I’ve had to make my facebook 100% private and I might have to close down and make all new email addresses and basically delete myself online and start over a new identity at this point. It’s a mess. (Hell I don’t even know if my tumblr/dA/Instagram/snapchat are even safe anymore.)

I’ve only got a few dollars to my name because of the moving costs and bills incurred by moving here less than 4 weeks ago to begin with (and none of us had any idea something this bizarre could or would even happen, this was supposed to be a safe haven…) I sold my car to make this move possible and now I’m also without a vehicle.

If I had done something to deserve this I would understand and not be asking for help but  that’s not the case. Right now I’m at a loss. I’m confused and hurt. The only thing I have done to the people attacking me is exist with a short hair cut and be asexual. I’ve never spoken to them, never met them, they were/are complete strangers to me and I’m still spinning and in shock that any of this is happening simply because I’m sharing an apartment with my best friend of 7+ years.

Right now I’m begging for help. I have a plane ticket  from an angel who’s helping me at least escape this mess and a safe house to flee too but I need help with other moving costs, expenses and to help get food/basic hygiene necessities in my new home since I have to leave behind a lot of that stuff now.

The three ways you can help are as follows:

Buy a commission.

Donate a few dollars to my paypal: witteadraws@gmail.com

Reblog this post and/or my commissions info.

My goal is just $200-$500 while I sort this mess out, get the appropriate safety measures in place, find a job and make sure no one I know is going to get hurt or dragged into this mess.

Please at the very least share this. I have no other options.

Welp. There it is.  The piece that’s been kicking me in the pants for the past two-ish months.  It seemed like such a simple idea at the time.  Triptychs, right?  Past, present, and future.

Gonna have this one at Heroes Con next month.

Please read if you’re voting in the California Primary

If you’re registered to vote in California for the Democratic primary please check your voter status here

Many people are starting to discover that they’ve registered with the American Independent Party (AIP) instead of an actual independent on their voter registartion. The AIP is the third largest party in California, but instead of being a standard independent status for voting purposes, the party is affiliated with right-wing politics and isn’t an actual independent status.

But most importantly, if you’re registered as an AIP affiliate, you cannot vote in the California primary on June 7th

Most people have registered with the party in error, as many as 500,000 people could be excluded from the Democratic Primary, so please check your voter status if you registered as an independent

You only have until May 23rd to fix this error

Don’t let this be another New York scandal, check the status of your voter registration before it’s too late
