A journalist finally uncovers the root of Trump supporters' anger

That’s fair enough.

Although if I wanted to nitpick, I’d argue that the reasons for buying into a fascist ideology probably broadly differ between classes.

Do they?

Or is it just framing.

Don’t discount the price of those frames.

Unless you know of a place to get good discount frames, because really, never pass up a discount on frames. Or lenses for that matter.

What were we talking about?

No, no, no.

It’s important that Trump voters know, deep down in their hard little hearts, that we hate and despise them.

And it’s especially important, after the election, that they know they have lost, lost, lost. Lost forever.

“We won, you lost, FUCK YOU” should be the unceasing refrain.

It’s somewhat too early to give condolences, but it’s been well-earned by the campaign.

You can thank the candidate you ostensibly don’t support yet never criticize for that. I’ve argued that Clinton, while nowhere the criminal she gets painted as, is a conservative at a time when America is drowning in them. I’ve said my ideal outcome was for her to win by as little as possible, losing presidential votes to third parties in hopes people might take their values seriously.

Trump pushed that out the window when his fascist movement started talking about not accepting the results of the election. Nobody quite knows what to expect from them, but I don’t think many are expecting a polite acceptance of the public’s choice. So yeah, it’s to be hoped for that he is repudiated as thoroughly as possible, without even ashes to rise from.

That might suck for some people with legitimate grievances, but then there are enough people with those grievances who didn’t insist on tying them to a campaign centered on a strongman hurting minorities. Hopefully someday soon we can try again without trying to sneak in that nightmare.

Taking it personally implies Trump supporters also take his words and hate to heart.

Fuck the campaign he ran and anyone can take that fuck by proxy if they promote that ideology. I hope they do lose forever and fade into obscurity as the party of Bircher crazies and racists they gleefully embraced this election.
