@TornPaperNapkin

Not to mention the only reason he might have for not liking Trump is that he believes some one else would advance the cause of fascism better than Trump.

well that, gerrymandering, a wildly undemocratic senate, the supreme court, and unfettered political donations from the wealthiest capitalists.

Well, yes, but aside from anger, gerrymandering, a wildly undemocratic senate, the supreme court, and unfettered political donations from the wealthiest capitalists, what has the Conservative Right ever done for Fascism?

I’ve never understood this assertion, except as a joke.

The main reason is to force the person to respond to the accusation. The other reason is that he clearly needs glasses, but his vanity gets in the way, and so he gives the impression that he cannot read as he demands information be given in a way that he doesn’t have to focus, and so on.

It is also a dig on his intelligence, since literacy is so closely tied to the concept of being smart.

And hate. They love hate… they love to hate the most vulnerable groups, because they’re fucking bullies and have been since the “contract with America” bullshit.

That’s even earlier than I’d figured (but, it works):

Rosanne Barr has a pact with other comedians to "be even more offensive"

It seems like an overarching cultural theme since 2010 or so: “won’t someone please think of the bullies!?” I thought it had peaked with George Zimmerman but I suppose that was merely the door being kicked open. (Edit to show where/to whom I meant to reply)
