1. It's not just Donald Trump
Thu Dec 22, 2016, 04:44 PM

The most triggering thing about the whole Trump thing is his support. Trump has supporters who think that sexual assault and other forms of violence, including racist violence, is either trivial or outright funny. His supporters are all over the 'net, they are crude and verbally abusive and hateful. There is nothing shameful or "weak" about feeling triggered by that.

I was a victim of abuse and feel triggered by these images of angry, crude white men.
