To the Republicans feigning horror:
You knew what he was, right? You must have. When he demeaned women as pigs and dogs, when he attributed their behavior to 'bleeding from their whatever'. You remember that time he tweeted that sexual assault in the military was unavoidable if women were allowed to serve, right? You remember when he told a journalist she wouldn't have her job if she weren't hot, yeah? You've seen the clip where he laughed himself through explaining that he can't claim to respect women, didn't you? Or have you been under a rock?
Here is the thing: I have far less respect for you pieces of shit acting offended *now* than I do for you other pieces of shit actually trying to defend this garbage. If you're trying to salvage a position from this bigotry, at least you're consistent. You're a monster, but you're an honest monster. But those of you feigning shock and dismay that an out misogynist said something brutal about women? Fuck you. You don't get to run from this just because the dog whistles got louder than you thought they would.
You Paul Ryans and John McCains with your tepid endorsements. You "Hillary-is-just-as-bad" voters. You talking head fucks with your dodges about what he really meant this or that time he blatantly assaulted common decency. You guys. Fuck you. You have always known the man he is; you just hoped it wasn't on camera.
I do not forgive you. We should not forgive you. Kelly Ayote: we see you. Fuck you. You knew who he was, you just hoped he'd keep it private. You do not get to run from the bed you made. Reince Priebus: this is your party. Trump is no more a misogynist now than he was a week ago when he was already standing up for punishing choice and was judging the worth of over half the population on his arbitrary beauty standards. Mike Pence: you are not allowed to accept the VP slot from a man and then run against him, you piece of shit.
Republicans, this is it. With or without your support, your party ran George Wallace. Stand up against him and be counted, or go to your death bed on the wrong side of history.
It is not sufficient to withhold support from this monster; he must be opposed.
