I don’t think it’s a completely useless phrase. If I do bad in the world, I should expect to reap bad karma in return. I just think it’s inapt here.
In the case of Drumpf, he’s got decades of wronging other people. Decent people should be able to call him on that without reaping bad karma in return. Anything less, in my opinion, is intimidation.
I personally think that’s a broad generalization if you include the bbs in that lump. I, personally, have attempted to educate people as to how much of a con artist and enemy of working people that Drumpf really is. I know that you know that, as I know you’ve been a witness to Drumpf’s horribleness.
I’d say that depends.
Trump has definitely built a coalition. One part is certainly disaffected and maltreated workers, who have my empathy and whom I try to enlighten to the true legacy of Trump. He’s fucking bad to working people, and will betray them.
One part of his constituency is an absolutely horrid remnant of confederate racists, whom I condemn to the dustbin of history. I don’t think they are reachable.
Along for the ride are, of course, the profiteers and the craven opportunists. I don’t think they are likely to be swayed, so I’m happy to expose them.
