Cleanse your heart of all empathy and mercy for Trump-voters:

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/watch-cnn-host-loses-it-when-trump-supporters-claim-california-allows-3-million-illegal-votes/

“People that I’m looking at that Trump has appointed or nominated have all been top of the class, number one in their field, extremely talented, great leaders on their own,” Susan DeLemus told the CNN host.

Trump supporter Paula Johnson blamed the media for reporting on white nationalists and their connections to Trump adviser Steve Bannon. “That’s been around forever,” Johnson scoffed. “You know, if you keep reporting on it, it’s going to grow like a cancer. If you forget about it then it’s probably going to go away. But the media has to harp on everything. And it’s wrong.”

...

“Voting is privilege in this country and you need to be legal, not like California where three million illegals voted.” ... “Where are you getting your information?” Camerota wondered. “From the media!” Johnson insisted. “Some of them were CNN, I believe.”

...

“Did you hear the president say illegal people could vote?” Camerota remarked.

“Yes!” the entire panel exclaimed. One panelist encouraged Camerota to “Google it, you can find it on Facebook.”

After debunking that claim, Camerota asked again: “You think that millions of illegal people voted in this country, you believe that there was widespread voting abuse?”

“California allows it,” Johnson declared.


-----------

These are the people who voted to get rid of the ACA and who will get hurt when Trump destroys the ACA.

These are the people the Democrats are supposed to court and pamper.

The vote of any of these people is worth as much as 2-3 votes in a blue state, because they live in rural states with a higher ratio of electors per resident.

They'll quickly point to any "liberal media" source if they think it supports their arguments. Otherwise it's disregarded.

I can see why people like the coast. It was very comfortable thanks to the Pacific Ocean currents!

Sacramento (where I caught a flight back home) was very hot in comparison. It seemed like a nice city overall, though.

I said it before and I'll say it again:


. . . . and before anyone says "well, Hugh, calling them 'stupid bastards' isn't going a long way of getting them on our side" YOU KNOW, WHATEVS. These people are grown adults; I don't have time to recalibrate the fuckered parts of their head, I have my own problems to deal with. If they want to believe bullshit fairy tales like trickle-up socialism will lead to the benefactors and handlers being more benevolent or an invisible sky daddy will make their lives better while blowin' up the Mooslims and Commies, that's on them, not me. If they want to believe they're better than someone because they're white, fuck them. They need to wake up, grow up and OWN up. Stop believing in religions; that includes their precious "free marketz". There's a start.

They love Trump for flooding the swamp, they believe seeing a video of Obama that doesn't exist, they don't know the laws they are talking about... So what would it take to convince them?

and per the potusfuhrer-in-waiting voters, been there, done that November 9, 2016 and forever more into what ever future is left to this country. The so called liberals and progressives, here and there who are feeling and trying to explain the pain of the trumpfuhrer voter and waxing intellectual about their motives for voting for the trumpfuhrer are overlooking steve bannon first and his legions of white supremacist/nationalist followers, who while having been here forever, never had a leader in my lifetime who will openly stride into the WH, truly white now, and the halls of the West Wing. Throw in david duke and his followers who have been around forever, they tried in the early 20th century to burn a cross on my grandfathers property because he was too uppity, into the mix and we have THE potent cauldron of racist, sexist hate that bubbled over into the address at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. That hatred/pain at the existence of PoC has been here for generations and now decent people know the numbers that have always been the cancer underneath that has erupted onto the body fabric of this nation. The election of the potusfuhrer-in-waiting has nothing to do with jobs. AmeriKKKans, ain't you proud?????.. That hatred is disgusting and is being openly exhibited, nationwide. The is no social civility that will survive the trumpfuhrer and his already rampaging brownshirts.

Fuck these people. Just fuck them.

Anyone who voted for these two shits can just get out of my life.

They need to figure out what's wrong with THEM first. I didn't make them too stupid to believe that billionaires are the best people to solve the unbridled capitalism that screws Trump voters while exacerbating billionaire wealth.
