Trump Supporters are Imbeciles

Does it matter who kills the babies as long as they shut up?

I never liked them. Small eyes, weak chins, not to be trusted.

Your feelings are extremely important to me, person wearing a pro-Trump T-shirt that says “(EXPLETIVE) Your Feelings.” It is up to me to understand you, and I will be happy to start on that as soon as you’re done composing an email that calls me “the enemy of the people” and shouting “FAKE NEWS!” while trying to intimidate my colleagues.

Take your time. I’ll wait. This is entirely my responsibility, and any suggestion that Biden winning by 5 million votes suggests otherwise is absurd.

I feel bad that I caused you to hate me. Totally my fault. And I don’t want you to feel like you need to do a single thing to better understand me.

After the 2016 election, when Trump lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million but still won the Electoral College, we were told it was the duty of all liberals to better understand the forgotten men and women who supported Trump.

Now, four years later, the 75.5 million Americans who rejected Donald Trump must again step forward and work to better understand the majority 71 million Americans who embraced him.

Because that’s how math, and the rules of Republican fairness, works.

I like it, although I think the jump in reality is somewhat bigger...

Have either of you read his policy wish lists? The climate change proposals seem especially progressive. I don't know how much of any of it he can do, but just reading them must give the right chills. I mean, he uses headlines like, Clean Energy Revolution & Environmental Justice

[Seabass]

I don't know how much of any of it he can do

The answer is: None.

I would put Biden closer to the yellow square, as he will be a more participatory leader. That means he will co-operate with the Repugnicans, which will really piss off the Centrist Democrats.

Foxnews losing viewers to Newsmax:

"That has a tremendous influence on the information that you receive," she said.
Fox has dominated right-wing TV for more than a decade, but the network's monopoly control is starting to break apart. Right-wing media viewers began expressing their frustration with Fox after the network called Arizona for Biden early on in the election.
"Donald Trump has actually become more important to these people than what they're watching on TV," Roginsky said. "It is a drug," she said. "They're literally giving a drug to their viewers."
Right-wing media viewers are searching for people to tell them what they want to hear, said former ABC News White House correspondent Sam Donaldson.
"It doesn't have to be a Hannity," he said. "Someone will supply them with a false narrative that does not exist."

Apparently they are celebrating the Georgia recount.

Gosh, I do hope that it increases Biden's lead.

Trump has been told that the recount isn't going his way, so he's rejecting that as well.

It's like they're a different species. Listen to this loon. "The left is satanic", "Trump is the only one who can save this nation", "we must remember who we are; we are the nation that fought the Civil War; we won that war..." Really, Jon? We won the Civil War?

How does this dingbat tie his shoes in the morning? How does he hold a job? How does he operate household appliances?

No one agrees how much of intelligence is the result of good schools versus something innate. A lot of people on the right, and especially the alt-right, think that intelligence is genetic. They think that some minorities do worse on tests because those groups are genetically inferior. Well… by that same logic, conservatives are genetically inferior to liberals.

Most people on the left think that intelligence is a result of the environment. They think that some people do better in school because of privilege and others do worse because of oppression. If you think that’s the case, then you need to recognize that rural white Americans don’t have as much privilege as white, urban liberals. White kids in silicon valley have way more opportunities than white kids in West Virginia. If we want equality, then we need to start sharing wealth and privilege from a few rich cities into the rest of the country.

Indeed. It's a class issue.

[Seabass]

It's a racism issue. America in a nutshell is rich white people convincing poor white people that poor non-white people are the enemy. The oligarchs are able to win the class war because it's so easy to use racism to their advantage.

And this is silly:

If we want equality, then we need to start sharing wealth and privilege from a few rich cities into the rest of the country.

The blue states with the big cities already give a ton of money to the red states. And what do they give in return? They call the blue states moochers and freeloaders. Plus, there's plenty of poor people in the cities, and cost of living in rural areas tends to be lower.

I don't like that guy's framing because it makes city folks out to be the bad guys and country folks out to be the victims.
