    Nice post. Thank you.

    And there, again, is the dismissal: “Anyone that disagrees with ME is stupid” They don’t use REASON (implying, of course, that you did).

    Your level of rage suggests that this is entirely internal.

    And you’re essentially saying that, even though they won, Trump supporters should follow the losing side’s agenda?

    I’d mostly disagree.

    To suggest that 63 million people voted for a candidate because they’re ‘fundie religious right’ people, or even a majority of them is, is to view the world through a frighteningly narrow lens. And to be simply wrong.

    Nobody disagrees with “let’s improve what we have”.

    Moreso than Buzzfeed, yeah.

    “ they don’t listen to me, respect me, or even think of me as a person. They hate my stinking guts and want me to suffer. “

    Thanks for your reasoned response. It’s genuinely appreciated.

    Then it would be a different social contract.

    Here’s the money shot from my post: “...you can’t simply dismiss the beliefs of “them” and simultaneously expect them to listen or care about your viewpoint...”

    “it’s about time”

    Someone’s going to want that back.

    Or, instead of wringing our hands about how terrible it is, maybe one could ask the pertinent question about why a substantial portion of the populace is becoming disenchanted with said social contract?

    “TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE…

    I’m sure he’d be fine if you expired. You don’t care?

    blah blah blah Trumps an ass blah blah blah blah blah blah fuck Trump blah blah blah blah blah blah I hate Donald blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah he eats babies blah blah blah blah blah blah Republicans suck dick blah blah blah pointless Socialist wanking blah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blahblah…

    So what is the exact boundary line between ‘scurrilous unsubstantiated gossip’ and ‘news’ to you?
