Triggering profound curiosity and reflection
I get the point, and it’s not wrong, but.
First, the issue isn’t the victory for the people who voted for him, the issue is the victory for him.
Second, and more urgent, the issue isn’t that the people who voted for him are clearly stupid and evil, the issue is that HE is clearly stupid and evil, especially the evil part. The issue is why do so many people embrace such a blatantly obviously unmistakably horrible person? One with no redeeming qualities? Honestly it’s hard to find people with no redeeming qualities at all – there’s usually something – good jokes or a bit of charm or occasional generous impulses. Something.
So yeah. It does bother me – profoundly – that so many people love such a howling wilderness of awful.
Wait. Did he tweet out the same thing when Trump was calling people stupid, evil, losers, bitch, crazy? Something tells me not.
Oh yes, I’m part of the problem. After much curiosity and reflection, I’ve concluded that there are stupid people who vote for utterly worthless people for stupid reasons. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, fella.
P.S. I’m going to continue to be “part of the problem.”
People generally pay more attention to the concrete than to the abstract. Trump’s threat to the Republic is abstract. A lumbering man in your daughter’s locker room is concrete.
