About 

Created by a nasty woman for americans everywhere

Our goal: 

NastyPolitics is a platform for discourse in post-Trump America. 2016 changed the course of history - here is where we talk about why it matters. 

why nasty politics?

Our title is derived from the moment Trump uttered, "Such a Nasty Woman" during a Presidential debate in 2016. The term "Nasty Woman" became a rallying cry for the resistance to the Trump agenda. We’ve adorned it as a badge of honor. Now, under that title, we commit to educating ourselves about our political system and the people within it.

How it all started...A note from the founder

In the days and weeks following November 8th, 2016 I began to write down my various fears and frustrations. My wonderful friends emailed me articles and met for discussions and we tried to keep our spirits up the best way we knew how: through discourse.

Yet every day I continued to ask myself, 'What more can I do? How can I share these conversations?' And so NastyPolitics came into being.

From 2016-2020, those of us who had cried out in fear at the idea of a President Trump saw our worst fears radicalized. And together, in November, 2020, we breathed a sigh of timid relief as Joe Biden won the election.

But our work is far from over. Our nation remains deeply divided and the democracy we cherish has revealed itself to have always been on tenuous grounds.

This is a place where I hope you will find inspiration, hearty discussion, some humor, and a reason to keep fighting for the rights of every American citizen in their pursuit of happiness.
