2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe breathtakingly repulsive, horrifically violent misogyny towards Hillary (DISTURBING IMAGE)
These are people who claimed to be progressives.
They have abdicated their claim to simple human decency, let alone any pretense or standing as any part or voice remotely connected to the left. They soil and stain the name of a dead man who can no longer defend himself against their malfeasance.
We are all well-aware of the hateful misogyny of the alt-right with their chants of "lock her up" and Trump that B buttons. But it's not just the deplorable cretins of the right who are capable of this detestable behavior. It's also on full display courtesy of the knuckle-dragging, depraved and abhorrent assholes who inhabit JPR, and their like.
I will not post a link to that sewer, so as not to enable them or give them any more site traffic, as they do not deserve it. I will show you the image, key responses, and a summary instead. Go look for yourself if you wish, but I'll not promote them with a link.

29. Mani-pedi, fer shur! (implying step on her feet)
Of the 33 responses, only 5 indicated clearly they would help, and some of those were then followed by comments about having to "disinfect" themselves or go get drunk at a bar to forgive themselves.
Several others were variations of step on her fingers or just stand there and watch.
Fucking deplorables. They voluntarily imprison themselves to rot in the hell of misogyny and hate they have created for themselves.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)in the personality traits that come before political positions. Extreme righteousness, dishonesty, rigid thinking, intolerance, hostility toward those not with them, etc., etc.
That's why movements that have appeal to extremists are often able to woo people from the other side. This year we have had populist movements on both right and left, and the one on the left did openly attempt to appeal to populist passions on the right also, to become large enough to effect the change so many think they want.
I'm guessing just what the deplorables who gravitated to this particular nasty basket are even some of them might have trouble defining. Not the most thoughtful or sophisticated crowd, but they seethe with all the unpleasantness common to both sides.

(64,942 posts)The fear and hysteria still exists today and is at the foundation of much racism.
Furthermore, it's the theme of the white supremacist movement. They even have a little saying about it that they celebrate and tattoo on themselves.
whathehell
(29,922 posts)but men of ALL races in all countries have tried to protect female relatives from.OTHER men long before the Klan existed.
For a history of rape and it's role in society, you might want to check out a landmark book called Against Our Will written by Susan Brownmiller.
Maru Kitteh
(29,312 posts)Judging by the ads
* Women do not protect their families with alarm systems
* Women and children of color are not guarded by alarm systems
So with those ads, you get a nice, tidy 2for1 deal of misogyny and racism.
whathehell

yardwork
(64,942 posts)I see posters on DU today who were moderators at JPR. Posters in threads here on DU today - pretending to support Hillary but always with just a whiff of concern - who recced threads on JPR similar to the one in the OP. DUers who signed pledges on JPR never to support Hillary.
They're here, they serve on DU juries, they lurk and sometimes post. Some of them post here rather frequently.

NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)From the site for True Progressives (TM), who post every RW talking point they can find, and spend their days salivating over conspiracy theories that are so utterly loony, even the dumbest wingers find them too ludicrous to pass along.
They had a poll up for 48 hours over the past weekend, asking posters to weigh-in on who they were voting for. They got a whopping 126 replies!!! - which probably represents the entirety of the people posting there.
JPR is full of shit - literally: RWers touting Trump's "qualifications", people convinced that Jill Stein is on her way to the WH, and links to "reliable sources" - that turn out to be a blog from some obscure basement-dweller who hasn't seen daylight since the commie plot that ultimately led to the cancellation of Knight Rider.
As completely disgusting as it is, JPR is a source of comedy gold. It's fun to watch the self-proclaimed "progressier-than-thou" being led by the nose by the oh-so-obvious batshit crazy wingers who recognize easily-manipulated sheeple when they see them.
