it's really unsettling how much thurmond's peers seem to have liked him. like sure, his abhorrent politics wouldn't drive away other members of congress of any party affiliation because they all have similar, equally abhorrent politics. but why was he everyone's favorite guy?

Wasn't he going around desperately trying to campaign in all the Midwestern states that Hillary ended up losing? The absolute arrogance of Hillary not to listen to him is astounding. Really disproves that old stereotype that she was the mastermind behind the scenes in the 90s. Turns out Bill Clinton the dumb hick with a smart wife who knows what she was doing was just something the media invented.

nah I get their point, sometimes it doesn’t matter what’s being yelled about. my hackles go up the second a man raises their voice around me because deep in my brain’s gooey core it signals that I’m in trouble, and I wasn’t raised in a house where there was abuse or threatening physical displays. but as soon as a dude gets a certain tone of voice I can feel that pre-fight vibration. that response doesn’t trigger watching a movie or at a rally/concert/protest, but I believe it would be worse for someone whose dad was a loving maniac

it’s totally possible they were cynically adopting hallmarks of PTSD to make a very facile point but I don’t want to accuse people of faking trauma, we all know where that road leads
