You know who's notoriously disrespectful to everyone, and has been for as long as I can remember? Donald Trump. By his own standards, this means he deserves to get shot in the face. But fascists don't standards. They have guns and aggression and stupidity, and mouths that inhale valuable oxygen and exhale self-serving bullshit.

Him refusing to call her wife a wife is honestly the more concerning part of this. Obvs erasure is nothing new, but at this level on this topic, it's hard to see it as anything but a signal of plans to completely end gay marriage and take an anti-LGBT approach the likes of which has not yet been seen in this country.

I still have a suspicion that when Ross checked the license plate he got some sort of Palantir-based info that the driver was gay.

They’ve still got 3 years to kill marriage equality. I guess we’ll see what the midterms bring. Trans people are just the beginning. His base must remain in a constant state of anger and hatred. Once they’ve finished with us, they will need more “others” to be angry at.

It's our fucking right to be disrespectful.

Edit: also, she told her murderer that she wasn't mad at him right before he murdered her. Yeah, real fucking disrespectful.

What a strange world view, that respect is something that is beholden to you just because of your silly title or net worth, try doing something worthy of respect.

Why’d the guy have to miss? Seriously. So many lives, families, communities destroyed in the wake of a hateful man. Would that have stopped this reality? Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe the world was just due for a resurgence of fascism, and we are the lucky contestants.
