“You now say you would feel some shred of pity if you saw someone starving in the streets even if they voted for Trump, for example.”

Uh huh. Let’s compare. Here’s my quote:

I really want it to stop. Stop expecting people under threat to be the bigger person. Stop expecting people who are constantly victims of a racist, sexist system to feel bad because Joan in Saginaw County who voted for that system to not only continue, but potentially become worse, might lose her house.

Im white, uneducated and poor. I have trouble grasping economics, and when tasked with defending social issues, I stumble through my arguments and probably do the cause more harm than good. However, I do possess empathy.

What the fuck are you talking about? Yes, I want things to get better. That’s why I voted the way I did. Unfortunately, I am one person with one vote. I can’t force anyone else to vote a certain way. Everything about Trump was out there in plain sight for everyone to see. Anyone who voted for him knew, or should…

I don’t know what you’ve been doing since you grew up into adulthood, but when I was in my late teens and early 20s, I studied happy, healthy countries and discovered that they were all social democracies. I looked at how they created happier, healthier, and yes, wealthier societies.

Yeah, their remorse is predicated on the belief that they were gong to do all those bad things to other people, it wasn’t supposed to affect *them*. They were perfectly happy with other people not having equal wages, and perfectly happy with other people losing their benefits, and other people losing their jobs, and…

Absolutely! Especially when Trump and his impending administration have been as transparent as they’ve been. Before the election, Trump was quite obvious what he was all about. The Republican party hasn’t exactly been cool about their agenda either. This shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone.

But how exactly were they duped?

Duped or not, people are responsible for their own actions. All the evidence was there. Trump wasn’t even TRYING to hide the fact that he’s a psychopath who can’t say “good morning” without lying twice. They chose to ignore it. And if civilization survives this clown then each and every one of them should be shamed…

Hillary did speak out against some of this - for example, by repeatedly denouncing Citizens United and saying she’d appoint a supreme court justice who would support overturning it - but obviously that was not enough. Also, I’m sure Trump voters have no idea what Citizens United is. She should have talked to us…

Because she didn’t think she’d get fuck over. She probably heard all Trumps talk about deporting illegals, instituting stop and frisk, and creating a Muslim registry and didn’t care because she didn’t fall into those groups or know anyone who does. But know she’s looking around and is panicking because now SHE might…

You can throw your hands up and say at least 27% of Americans (the necessarily minority to win an election, apparently) are unreachably stupid.

I know. I enjoyed reading Tablet Magazine’s take on this, which includes the idea that you should treat these people like adults. They’re adults. This guy, Bob, is a senior—he’s been able to see this shit for 60+ years. It’s no one’s fault but his own that he helped elect a crooked billionaire with a history of…

Yeah, they want change, we all do. The difference is the change they wanted was to rid the US of any and all non white people.

Yeah, I’m sick of being lectured at about showing compassion to people who didn’t view hatred and bigotry as a deal breaker. They are fucking idiots who got conned. Fuck every one of them.

Democrats aren’t good at fear mongering or vowing to be total dicks if the other candidate was elected and didn’t have the help of the Russian government, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Sorry but I’m too busy feeling sympathy for the people who didn’t knowingly support a sexist, xenophobic, racist fascist but will still be completely and utterly fucked by a Trump presidency to worry about the shit heads who were too stupid, blind, racist, sexist, or selfish to vote against him.

Like Trump himself, for starters.

Gee, if only there was someone, anyone, who could have warned them repeatedly that Trump was going to screw them and the rest of the country over...
