I guess I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift again

[blankspace17]

in honor of 1 year of lover being out, reblog with your holy trinity in the tags

[biglawbear]

You know what, looking back on it, my friends and I survived the Bush Presidency

We would have survived a McCain Presidency

We would have survived a Romney Presidency

I honestly worry that there are some people who would not survive a Trump Presidency

I don’t care how much you love Gary Johnson, or Jill Stein. On November 8, 2016, one of two things will be true: either Hillary Clinton will be elected President, or Donald Trump will be elected President.

Which one, HONESTLY, would be worse?

This isn’t the year to “vote your conscience.”

There’s a fucking dangerous man one election away from being President.

This is the year to vote to survive.

Any other year, this would be an exaggeration. We survived Bush, we could have survived McCain or Romney. This year, Trump’s danger is no exaggeration.

Don’t vote your conscience, vote to survive.

[heyitscdubs]

We will not, not, NOT SURVIVE Trump.

[notsafef0rtwerk]

The LGBT community will not survive.

The communities of middle eastern descent will not survive.

Women, especially women who want a right to choose, will not survive.

The black community will not survive.

The latino community will not survive.

The disabled community will not survive.

I guarantee that there are more groups.

We as a country will not survive a Trump-Pence Presidency

[goldstar-goldfish-deactivated20]

The poor will not survive

[rainxcanndy]

Please understand that Trump plans to not only do what the US did to Japanese Americans in WWII on a massive level with Mexicans and Muslims but also destroy the economy with it

[biglawbear]

Somehow this post is going around again and it’s appeared on my own dash and I still think Trump is going to kill us all. Y'all’s protest votes did nothing.

[biglawbear]

Hey look it’s my post from 2016

Now that it’s almost 2020, can you see that this wasn’t a fucking exaggeration

Do you understand now

This is going around again and now that we’re in the Democratic Primaries and y'all are already saying about how you’ll stay home if you’re favorite doesn’t win I’d just like to remind y'all that people are dying in the Trump administration

People are dying in concentration camps at the border

Trump rolled back Obamacare and now millions more people are without insurance

Trump is rolling back environmental regulations and climate change and pollution will kill us

States are banning abortion which will affect millions of poor women and women of color and SCOTUS night overturn Roe v Wade

Hate crimes against Jews and people of color and LGBT people are going up

There are Nazis in the White House and marching in the streets

And Trump has given tax cuts to billionaires and appointed judges that will take away your constitutional rights

Are you happy with your choice to vote third party? To stay home? Was it worth it? Was all of this worth it?

We’re facing the same choice again. We can’t have four more years of this.

Fight like hell for your candidate in the primaries. Then if and when they lose, get in line behind the winner.

We failed in 2016. The life and death stakes in 2020 are even higher.

Vote. For. Democrats.

[ilthit]

The first sentiment in this post has gotten more literal as 2020 wears on.

[biglawbear]

I haven’t even updated this post to reflect the pandemic because I just

Tens of thousands of people are dead y'all. Obama and Biden had an entire infrastructure, a system to deal with pandemics and Trump abolished the office and ignored reports of the virus for months

When the curve of infections increases exponentially, even acting one day earlier could have saved thousands of lives

And Trump ignored it for months

Unemployment is now higher than at any time since the great depression

I knew people would die but I never imagined that Trump would be responsible for this many deaths and the worst economic disaster in a century

We have to vote for Biden. I don’t like Biden. I wanted someone progressive. Someone who didn’t sexually assault someone. But this is literally life and death.

(also Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87 years old and has been hospitalized multiple times in the last year and we cannot allow Trump to appoint her replacement on the Supreme Court or continue giving lifetime appointments to judges to lower Federal courts)

[12b6]

This whole post y’all

[elfwreck]

Over 85,000 dead in the US from Coronavirus in the last four months. 

You don’t have to like Biden to vote for him.

Vote AGAINST the one trying to pick our pockets before he drives us off a cliff.

[tangent101]

The truly scary thing is, when I was reading the start of the post, I thought it was from this year. It was from 2016. And it has proven prescient. Trump has killed over a hundred thousand Americans thanks to his reaction to COVID-19 alone. He has put armed federal agents on the streets to kidnap citizens. He is acting increasingly like the fascist that we were worried he was.

Do not “vote your conscience” and don’t refuse to vote because you’re worried that Biden/Harris will be bad. Because we know Trump is evil and is destroying this nation. Pretending Biden/Harris is the “lesser evil” and thus you’re still voting for “evil” by voting for him is a Trump line used for voter suppression. 

If you do not vote for Biden and Harris? You are voting for Trump and you approve of his policies. There is no if, there is no and, there is no but. You are supporting Trump’s fascist policies that have killed over a hundred thousand people in just a few months.

[champagneproblemes]

only taylor can say my girlfriend and people be like oh she means her girl pal lol but i see you girl lol

[g-romantics]

I am imagining my friend friend showing up at my apartment with a bunch of boxes to redecorate it and I’d be like: this is not a garage.

If my girlfriend showed up with a bunch of boxes, I’d be like 🥰💝.

[tshifty]

some of yall really think politics is only about the presidency and it shows when you say shit like “i dont like biden so i wont vote” get a motherfucking vibe check and go vote blue so we dont have a conservative majorty supreme court for the next 30 years holy shit

[tshifty]

wow there are really some of yall out here adding the absolute stupidest fucking comments onto this post huh!! the amount of people I’ve seen in the past day pull some shit out of their ass about “biden is just as bad as trump” is astounding tbh. 

firstly, the central points of this post are that you need to vote DOWN THE BALLOT because newsflash the presidency isn’t the only election and that voting biden does more than just him it also allows RBG to retire and gives us our first female vp and a progressive presidential cabinet. 

now for yall acting like biden and trump are the same im going to highly encourage you to do a few things. 1, go read biden’s policy platform. 2, go look at every politician and organization who has endorsed him… people like bernie and warren and obama… organizations like the congressional black caucus 3, turn on the news and go read up about how trump is sending in federal officers to brutalize peaceful protesters and how he threatened to send in the us military, and how he’s blocking the cdc now from collecting coronavirus data. 

does biden suck?? uhhh yeah no shit that really isnt news. am i happy that biden is the nominee?? FUCK no. but im not stupid ignorant or selfish enough to say some asinine shit like “oh well i dont like biden so you know what fuck it trump can stay” ???? what are yall planning to do exactly, storm the capitol?? redo our entire political system in the next 3 months???? oh my fucking god. this is the choice we have right now. biden or trump. that is your choice. im not asking you to like it but im asking you to pull your head out of your ass and understand that every single progressive politician and organization you support is begging you to vote biden because they understand that if trump is reelected we will NEVER have a chance at creating a better more progressive system. yall want to have a progressive president in 2024? 2028? then go vote for biden so we make it until then. oh my god. 

[kadeedoes]

If trump wins the next election, we’re looking at a Conservative Supreme Court for potentially the rest of our lives.

We’re alreading removing the separations of Church and State through recent Supreme Court rulings. I want you to imagine future Conservative Supreme Court rulings on the following cases:

Religious School funding

School integration vs segregation

Limits on police brutality

Voting rights and protections

Healthcare coverage

Marriage rights for LGBT couples

Housing/job/healthcare discrimination on basis of ‘religion’ against women, other religious members, lgbt people

Immigrant rights and immigration rates

Affirmative action

Climate change and EPA requirements

Employee rights

Funding for family planning services

[tshifty]

this isnt some theoretical debate yall like this is the fucking alternative. people arent being cute when they call trump a fascist this is fascism. biden might not be as progressive as we want but he isnt a fucking fascist why can some people not wrap their heads around this

[ardri-na-bpiteog]

I’ve had a hard time determining what people want to accomplish by not voting for Biden. Like, beyond not wanting to for ideological purity reasons. What does not voting for him accomplish? What is your alternative? Do you really think a Biden presidency will be as bad as four more years of Trump? Do you really think it’s better to allow Trump to win again? I just don’t really understand it.

Unless you organize an actual revolution between now and November, these are the two options.

[midwest-merman-deactivated20210]

You don’t have to enjoy casting your vote for Biden but please do it anyways. He’s not going to be all of the change we very obviously and very desperately need but he is a step in the right direction. Keep taking those steps. Vote.

[stevishabitat]

Biden says some incredibly stupid and straight up offensive stuff.

He’s going to say something racist, he’s going to say something misogynistic.

He has no filter and doesn’t think before he opens his mouth.

In better days he would never make it far enough to be the nomineee.

We’re not living in better days yet.

Trump is escalating. Things are more dangerous and treacherous every day. We can’t afford to let him continue on this path.

Legalism and idealogical purity will not save us.

I get it. Biden makes my skin crawl. He’s nobody’s idea of a savior.

We aren’t going to get a savior. What we can do, is elect someone who will at least give us a chance to save ourselves.

Breathing space to plan the next step.

And if we keep electing better people to congress and our state and local governments, and hold them accountable by whatever means necessary. We slowly turn the tide toward justice.

[heyheyvey]

[lookwhereyagoing]

People who didn’t like Hillary sat on their hands in 2016 and look what we ended up with. I don’t care if you don’t “like” Biden; you vote for him and get rid of this horse’s ass and his vile entourage. Otherwise, you might never be able to vote again.

[wealmostbrokeup]

i think by now everyone has a least favorite song off folklore. put it in the tags

[mytearsrricochet]

what do you think is the best 3-song run on folklore? it doesn’t necessarily mean your favorite songs, just the chunk of 3 songs back to back that are your favorite. i say invisible string, mad woman, and epiphany

[mirrorballsupremacy]

Literally any three between my tears richochet and illicit affairs.

[roundeachtime]

[mirrorballsupremacy]

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

Fuck me up Tay

[voldemxrt]

look i’m not saying folklore (and in particular hoax) is about twilight i’m just saying taylor definitely did a rewatch of the series in quarantine and it shows

[mirrorballsupremacy]

the 1 about Taylor Lautner?

[mirrorballsupremacy]

Are we ever going to get an explanation about William Bowery? I'm convinced it's an ex, so not Joe unless they broke up. Which. If he listened to the 1...

[mirrorballsupremacy]

That said, I think illicit affairs is my early fave. the 1 is also important and unfortunately I have cried at epiphany every single time, which is what a sad bitch wants

[mirrorballsupremacy]

I have decided that the last great american dynasty and mirrorball are secretly the best-written tracks on the album. Both so complex and get better with every listen.

Tied for my favorite moment of the entire album with the part of the man where she drags Leonardo DiCaprio.
