This Is the Most Important Market Reaction to Trump's Victory

Bond yields are soaring on expectations of higher inflation

Yields on Treasury bonds have surged to their highest levels in months on the back of a historic night which handed the Republican Party simultaneous control of the White House, Senate and House of Representatives for the first time since 1928. What else happened around 1928? Oh, well, I can’t see how anything could go wrong.

It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay. The sea may be stormy and gray, but out there, beyond the threatening thundering clouds and darkness, there exists the sun. It's out there. Bring me that horizon

I want to believe this. I really do. But this victory is the victory of bullying. It’s literally the victory of the deplorable: his campaign and his supporters take pride in everything that was criticized about them. Not the difference in policies, they take pride in being xenophobic, racist, misogynistic. The storm will not engulf everything at once, that’s true. But It’s going to be so hard to see the sun.

Elections 2020

Well, if 2016 fails the Republican party can always try a minority outreach and launch Bill Cosby for president.

Trump logic

Trump voter: I like Trump because he tells it like is.

Trump voter: Trump would not really do any of that.

The popup would be much more effective if tumblr support had ever solved any of my problems like queue failing, draft posts deleted, missing asks and missing submissions, spam followers or deleted posts. Missing-e was the one plugin that made tumblr barely usable. Since you seem to have waged war against it I'm going to look for another blogging platform. One that doesn't resort to scare tactics against its users. Thank you for all the fish.

(ETA): I saw that one coming. Isn't it delicious? HA. HA. HA.

and *POOF!* it's there.

Very confused by this idea that there is any point in having a nonviolent aboveground movement if your message is that the violent underground is necessary. Maybe it will make sense after a few more videos.

My hunch is that you have to legitimate the new leadership, so if you have a group of people working for the cause in the open they call the shots in the future, I don't know.

Guerrilla warfare 101: We call it "resistance movement" now.

TILFT #276:

If there’s a body of concepts that I don’t understand or just don’t agree with, I can just ask pretty please with sugar on top for people on tumblr never to discuss them at all, ever.

Dear tumblr,

In 7th grade my english teacher banned us from using certain words in our essays, such as the word “was”. The objective? To get us to put more thought into what we were writing, and advance our writing skills. I think the same idea can be applied to political/social arguments on tumblr: ban certain overused buzzwords, so people stop relying on them as a crutch. I think this would help people tremendously with reevaluating their arguments, and elaborating more on their thoughts and reasoning. 

Words I suggest we ban:

privilege

white supremacist

bigot

racist

cissexist 

asshole

white

misogyny 

fascist 

apologist 

Please feel free to add on to this list. 

This would be for your own good, tumblr. IT’S ONLY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

Thank GAWD this list is out there because of reasons. I mean, FINALLY, right?

Here's my contribution:

television

hawk

pudding

please (who says that nowadays, anyway?)

politics

strawberry

toe

car

human

language

subjectivity

idea

time

mind

life

happiness

love

pizza

concept

relation

person

gender

sex

wealth

unicorns

sarcasm

And I could go on with all those terms people use not knowing what they REALLY mean, but I have a cake in the oven. So, yes. That's my contribution for the most stupid idea on tumblr this week (and it's still Tuesday).

I also suggest that now that we are getting rid of "apologist" we refer to it as "pony". Again, because of reasons.
