In defense of Susan Sarandon, and by extension Jill Stein et. al. ?

58. Are you serious with this, G?

No. Trump did us no favors by rolling back our rights. See, G, white folks who have nothing to fear from INS, the KKK, the Police, racists, homophobes, islamaphobes, etc, can say this shit with a straight face because they are not likely to suffer from these things and have never ever suffered from them.
This sense of detachment I see from the far left is the real problem. The fact that you guy make these shallow arguments is hurtful to us on a deep level. Think about how others will suffer and are suffering under a Trump admin before you start formualating arguments that seem to be focused on the idea that this is somehow good for us.
My kid came home worried that one of her friend's was going to be deported because she is from somalia and is muslim and wears traditional garb. How is this helpful? My grandfather was deported back to europe back in the late fifties/early sixties. He was never heard from again; we only knew he died because my momma did her own damn investigation. This will happen to many more children; my grandma had 10 kids to care for and a deported husband and no papers. They starved until the kids were old enough to work. Yay! Progress. Revolution!
None of this will hurt you or the Susans of the world but y'all will say with a straigh face that you care deeply about us dark folks. How you care about us if you are so detached from our reality? Take yourself to a mosque or a synagogue and then to a black church and a hispanic center for immigrants and then come back and tell us how Trump 'motivating' democrats is helpful to them. You guys need an empathy transplant.
I told susan last night on twitter that she only cared about her revolution; she will watch the rest of us burn from her mansion in the name of 'progress' and 'revolution'.
