I was introduced to your community through probably the best friend i have ever had she is still in NYC my life took me on a long journey from artist , socially conscious human being who lost herself trying to fix her supposed soulmate for 15 yrs .the journey has taken me up and down the east coast several times trying to find my way back to myself . The current state of our nation has me disgusted, disturbed , dumbfounded …I have never been a fan of capitalism but do believe that any political system religion or ideology of any sort can be perverted . I get angry wh ed n people don th even realize we never were a democtacy . We were a democratic republic but more of an oligarchy headed toward an orwellian dystopia if shit doesnt change . I have no problem with the word socialism
Hello, from RI!
Been watching this site for a couple of months, and it has become an essential part of my news-gathering, so figured I should join.
Retired Elementary teacher. Long-term WTFJHT reader. New poster from Tip o’ the Mitt-Michigan. We live Under the Bridge, and we’re known as Trolls, but not in the bad way. Very avid follower of US & world politics, environmental issues, animal rights. Lover of husband, our dogs, Family & Friends. Appreciate & do art, crafts, quilter, fiber arts.
I am a retired Canadian who has been looking on at the state of US politics since the 2016 election and I am very angry that the US people have been accosted by such a blatant attempt at subversion. I have a Masters degree in Sociology and an MBA and I look upon this situation with great interest in an effort to come to an understanding of why the US finds itself in the situation it is currently in. I have many friends Stateside and I am dismayed at the situation they find themselves in. I am looking forward to much pertinent discussion of the political climate in your country.
Hi, y’all! 
yes I am a transplant from OR, CA, and, TX to Smyrna, GA. I have 3 adult children and 7 grands. I was active in the women’s movement for years, but health problems keep me pretty close to home now. My old blog shut down so am super delighted to find this one! Oh, and I am a politics junkie and a reader. And, apropos of nothing, Friday, 3/8, is my 78th birthday.
Hello y’all from Texas. I am a retired copy editor and food editor. I also did some reporting, worked in the composing room and classified ads. Journalism runs in my family. I have a rare lung disease, and a 3-year-old cat.
Welcome…and happy birthday this Friday. Fridays in T/Trump world tends to be especially riveting.
You are amongst thoughtful people and a place to locate where we are in all the daily news drops…we do weekends too!
i’ve been reading WTFJHT for quite a while now, hubby reads it too - we both follow on facebook and get the (mostly) daily emails. i think whole regime is insane, and it just keeps getting more insane with each passing day. along with hubby, we have two daughters and two cats.
::waves hi to everyone::
Hi, long term resident of Thailand here- former chair for Democrats Abroad in my town- but moving to the big city so no longer have my DA facebook page to vent on. WFJHT has been invaluable to me- keeps me sane and not having to read everything, so thanks for maintaining my sanity. I shared this website on the DA facebook page many times. Hope it brought many subscribers!
hello. my name is valerie. i live and work at bard college at simon’s rock in western mass, which is a 4 year institution for students who want to start college early. i live with the first year boys, 16 olds who are smart and smelly… and mostly lovely. i look forward to WTF every evening and am SO thankful that there are still some sane people out there —THANK YOU MATT for all of this — i m too tired to be clever right now, but most days i am mildly entertaining . night.
Been getting the email newsletter for a few months now, finally joining the community. Have never paid so much attention to politics in my life as I do now. Although, it may be argued, I’m actually paying attention to the continual clusterf*ck rather than politics. I know for sure I’ve never been as emotionally invested. At least weekly I tell myself I’m going to stop keeping up with the latest news (to protect my fraying sanity), but I’m always back to it the next day, somehow afraid to miss the next outrageous event. I’m so tired…
I think that’s the majority of WTF readers!
This is evergreen. 
welcome, you’ve found the right place, my friend. Remember folks, you can always check the current political status on @matt’s other site https://currentstatus.io
Take a deep breathe and let it out slowly. You can relax. 
Living the dream as an attorney in New Mexico. At the end of 2016, WTFJHT was a lifesaver. Thanks, Matt
Sarcasm btw
Except that WTFJHT was a lifesaver was not sarcasm
Hello from the other side. I’m a retired British firefighter, now living in the far South East of Bulgaria, in the last village in Europe. I’m fascinated by American politics, and have followed WTF since almost day one. I get my daily ‘fix’ just as you are turning in for some well earned sleep. 
Hello there. I’ve been following WTF since day one pretty much, and occasionally poke Matt with articles I’ve spotted. He suggested I look into the community board. I admit I tend to be busy, but I do like to share, and I maintain an endless supply of memes and article links.
My name is David, but online most folks know me by Wind or Windthin. I’m a nerd, cook, bird owner, navy brat, steampunk madman, jack-of-all-trades, former online radio DJ, longtime roleplayer, and general oddball. I’ve lived in four states; Puerto Rico where I was born, Hawaii where I spent much of my childhood, Connecticut twice and Illinois three times; Illinois is where I am now. My wife is self-professed political nerd herself, and we tend to collaborate in our own various ways on things. I’m always happy to help, eager to learn, pleased to share, and glad to listen.
long time follower, just signed up for the community today. i have been posting on reddit and prior to that, twitter, about the current situation. reddit’s signal to noise is very low, and twitter has become totally unusable. so here i am.
i’m a cyber risk consultant and often interface with trump supporters at all levels of society. its eye opening and astounding and lots of negative adjectives too. i’m excited to participate in this community.
If you can shed some light on how reasonable people can back him, I’d be interested. I don’t mean the hard core base who are just crazy, but the ones that haven’t jumped off the cliff yet.
I assume the FOX pundits are in it for the money, not because they are true believers.
