      Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, who fought in favor of Brexit, with our President-elect. They both faced vile and unfair opposition from the mainstream media. They were both accused of every possible -ism, and had their words repeatedly twisted or reported out of context. Both Brexit and Trump supporters were painted as uneducated, dumb and deplorable. Both Brexit and Trump were given no chances of winning by pollsters and talking heads.

      And they both won. Here’s to 2016.

        Looks like Brexit at Tiffany’s. A HUGE fan of the British Royal Family, British Armed Forces, Police and Church Of England (whilst claiming to be anti-establishment) in a gold plated lift with a multi-billionaire president-elect.

        May, don’t you just adore the many contradictions and juxtapositions?

        I do. Interested in why?

        Easy. They’re out in the open and everyone gets to dose their own poison,

    White Women Sold Out the Sisterhood and the World by Voting for Trump

    “What leads a woman to vote for a man who has made it very clear that he believes she is subhuman? Self-loathing. Hypocrisy. And, of course, a racist view of the world that privileges white supremacy over every other issue.”

    I’m a Muslim, a woman and an immigrant. I voted for Trump.
