Because, why the fuck not, here's another reminder of what we're up against, everybody...

[MrScorpio]

Now let's all say it together...

[BlueCaliDem]

1. Ahhh...the American voter. Too stupid to know what's good for them. SMDH eom

[iluvtennis]

35. +++ agree

[Nwgirl503]

57. How dare you call me stupid for putting my hand in the fire

I'll show you!

Puts hand in fire again.

[WinstonSmith4740]

61. And the irony?

The Electoral College was supposed to save us from an uneducated populace who could be swayed by outside sources. If your state hasn't jumped on this yet, get on the phone and call the necessary people!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

[angel823]

65. Change needs to happen

It's this and the intersection of gerrymandering that has brought this abomination on all of us.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Dont sweat it folks,

It will dawn on her, after she loses her gig, to scam the feds for disability, and she will sit at home, collect disability checks and screech socialist at Democratic politicians on the tv.

[nocalflea]

38. and yell at everyone who disagrees with her " Get a job ! ".

[catbyte]

3. On the bright side, maybe she'll be dead by 2020.

And I'm being only half sarcastic.

[Blaukraut]

39. One can only hope that their stupidity will do them in and rid us of them

And I'm not even half sarcastic.

[Elwood P Dowd]

4. I've been saying for years its going to take another depression to wake up these

insanely stupid and brainwashed repuke voters. They will need a massive shock to their their own wallets and those of their relatives before they even begin to think about waking the hell up. Decades of brainwashing from Fox News, hate radio, and preachers has created a race of zombies.

[MarcA]

26. They will believe they are the only ones entitled to anything.

[Wednesdays]

28. Not even then

For example, nearly forty percent of voters still cast ballots for Hoover in 1932.

[niyad]

5. idiot is too kind and gentle a word to describe these cretins.

[ananda]

11. More like spiny porcupines who feel as though ..

.. they have become cuddly pandas subject
to extinction.

And so fucking whiny when what's happening
to them is supposed to happen to, you know,
*them*.

[GWC58]

56. You mean

"The other?" I say fuck her. She can lose everything for all I care. Stupid asses are going to blame President Obama and Democrats anyway. Fuck her and all like her.

[Squinch]

6. More proof of Darwin's theory of natural selection.

[adigal]

40. Yup. We are going to see Darwin's Law in sped up time. Sad! nt

[NastyRiffraff]

70. The Darwin Awards people are being overwhelmed this year

Who to choose...who to choose?

[FakeNoose]

73. We can hope that Darwin works his magic

... and takes out Trump before the next election.

Just sayin'

[Historic NY]

7. She can go pick vegetables....

because w/o migrant workers they aren't going to appear at the supermarket

[SledDriver]

8. No sympathy

one less bigot...

[calimary]

33. I WISH I could find a way toward sympathy.

All I've got is one word: Deplorable.

If you voted for trump, you are deplorable. Not to mention how gullible a mark you were - to believe him, even while he was lying to you. And how gullible a mark you were that you swallowed, whole, without even chewing, ANY AND ALL lies about Hillary Clinton.

I've mentioned elsewhere that I find it most illuminating to read the comments after some editorial or news story. There are still trolls out there trolling. And weeks AFTER that unforgivable loon Alex Jones had to eat his own shit about Pizzagate and that child sex/sexual molestation/sexual fill-in-the-blank-here operation purportedly going on in the back room of that DC pizza joint, which was so phony that even he had to apologize and acknowledge he was wrong - never mind! There were STILL dingdongs in those comment sections who STILL believed that Hillary was running that fictitious child sex-whatever ring - even up to and including not just molestation or fornication but cannibalism.

And they still wanna believe that shit? Well, then, I no longer bother trying to sympathize, or "understand" where they're coming from. I've heard, seen, and read enough to know.

[JHan]

9. Nothing about Trump shocked her, but when she stands to lose out, she is shocked..

some sick, morally repugnant shit.

[iluvtennis]

55. ding, ding, ding. agree

[JDC]

10. Her hate for brown people outweighs her own self preservation

I resent her willful ignorance quite honestly.

[volstork]

60. Apologies for invoking Godwin's law,

but that was one aspect of the downfall of Hitler's reich. They poured enormous resources into systematically slaughtering many of their best and brightest-- resources and individuals which could have led to the victory of the nazis. Fortunately, that didn't happen, but it shows the absolute folly of putting prejudice above self-interest.

[sharedvalues]

12. Remember she was lied to by the right wing media (that's why she hates Dems)

So much of Trump voting is about hating Hillary and liberals.

And that hate is largely generated by Fox and Limbaugh and Breitbart and Newsmax and IJT and Gateway Pundit and all the rest of the GOP donor-funded media.


Don't hate this woman, hate the CEOs of those media orgs that lie to her so they can get votes to cut taxes on the rich.

[maxrandb]

18. And don't forget

The Jackass, errr, Jackboot, er, I mean Jackshit Radicals too

[tazkcmo]

30. I don't hate her.

I don't give to figs about her, either. I live in the same world and don't fall for the right wing brain washing done by the conservative media. I don't re-elect somebody screwing me over just so brown people suffer. She owns her own situation and in fact expresses a willingness to double down on it. She owns it lock, stock and both smoking barrels.

[JI7]

50. it appeals to people who are bigoted already .she wants him to get rid of illegals

by which they mostly mean non white people.

[KittyWampus]

67. WRONG! Previously empathetic, open minded people get sucked into the vortex of hate:

Please watch or read about The Brainwashing Of My Dad.

Not only did the woman who made the film explore what happened to her father, she found other families who experienced the same phenomenon

A filmmaker explores the radical change of her once Democratic father to an angry right-wing fanatic after his immersion in talk radio and Fox News. She discovers this to be a powerful phenomenon that has divided families across the nation.

74. Oh wow

That looks interesting

Thanks for posting this

[kairos12]

13. Darwin has to go back to the drawing board.

[sheshe2]

14. This is..

This is the voter some say we should be reaching out to. No! Nope! A 1000 times no.

[Lucky Luciano]

15. Two words: Darwin Award

[Horse with no Name]

16. Well Golly...I guess if she sits home and dies then she won't vote for this idiot in 2020

I'm okay with that

[Aristus]

17. Yeah, I don't know where we got the idea that Trump supporters were dumb bigots...

[theaocp]

19. Every response has been too kind.

Fuck her. That's it.

[Jamaal510]

20. So in a nutshell,

they'll still support him because they have too much pride to own up to their mistake, they don't bother to do research on political policy, and they get their feelings hurt over us calling them out for supporting a racist/sexist/xenophobe. This confirms what I already knew, and I'm unsurprised that the 70 year old JB will still probably vote for him again.

[Butterflylady]

37. Definitely sums it up

These people will never admit they were conned. I don't think its pride though. I'd call it arrogance, they think they're better than us looney librels.

[luvMIdog]

21. no doubt FUX news would spin it as 'Woman dying because of Mexicans'

[That Guy 888]

22. I can understand Trump being too stupid and arrogant to know that you don't eff with senior citizens

I'm just curious to see if the Republicans are that stupid too. SS and other senior citizen benefits used to be considered "Third Rail" topics because conventional DC thinking says Seniors are the largest, best informed, most reliable voting block.

With the "zombie-eyed granny-killer" and Yertle McChinless in charge of the House and Senate the pubs just might do it.

[Solly Mack]

23. TSTL

Too stupid to live

[benld74]

24. NEVER vote for 1 Thing!

[furtheradu]

25. & FDT!

You're welcome!

[aeromanKC]

27. Trump voters dumb Bigots

Well, ya. You just can't make this S up.

[IronLionZion]

29. America is diversifying faster

not just increasing diversity, but the rate of increasing is getting faster.

As more elderly Trumpers die off and the Pence types reduce family planning we will see more children of color being born, turning 18, and voting for Democrats. We are going to see a radical demographic shift very soon.

[singed.dude]

32. We might have to wait until 2044 for that...

The U.S. population as a whole is expected to follow a similar trend, becoming majority-minority in 2044. The minority population is projected to rise to 56 percent of the total in 2060, compared with 38 percent in 2014.

A majority-minority U.S. is a place where whites make up less than half the population — while African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and other minority groups together account for slightly more.

[IronLionZion]

42. Trump's budget cuts might make it happen faster

as elderly whites get Trumped and lose benefits they've been surviving on.

As it is, the elderly suicide rate is increasing, and substance abuse and overdoses continue in rural red states and abandoned industrial small cities and coal country.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36116166

[adigal]

41. If we don't diversify in the red states, it doesn't matter. I swear, I want a #bluexit

I don't know how we put this country back together again. Ever. And as a blue stater, I resent sending our considerable tax $$ to DC to be sent to red states, who control the country and give us a 1930s SCOTUS fool who will be there for the next 40 years.

[IronLionZion]

43. Some states have gone red to blue lately

Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, and Obama even won North Carolina and Indiana and the district that contains Omaha in 2008.

Trump picked up Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and PA.

People move for jobs. I have many times. And many formerly Democratic workers have been moving from the upper Midwest down to the south for jobs and more affordable housing. We can see more competition in many southern states with strong economies and recent migration and large minority populations.

Whites are currently less than 50% of Texas and people have been moving there for jobs. We can win Texas in another few years. Similar things can happen in Florida and Arizona.

There's a lot of changes going on. And social conservatives are trying to recruit minorities. We should see to it that they stay with us and earn their votes.

[adigal]

44. I know, you are right. But that 30% will always be fomenting hatred in this country

And they are not even the slightest bit rational. They are NOT going to change their minds and see that the Dems are better for their actual lives.
We would be better off if we built a great big wall to wall off THEM.

[JI7]

51. that's pretty much how Obama won and why Democrats do better nationally than before

Clinton did.

[BSdetect]

31. You find yourself wondering about a voting minimum-awareness test.

[KingCharlemagne]

34. Cf. Jews for Hitler - nt

[iluvtennis]

36. Was going to give her a break until I read she said she is likely to vote Trump in 2020..Dumbshit

[Cha]

49. I wasn't.. I didn't even read that dumbshit part.

[HughBeaumont]

45. Admitting error in the Conservaverse is tantamount to first degree murder.

They don't see admitting error as an act of learning . . . they see it as weakness. "It's something pillow sissies and libtards do".

Religion works the same way with them. So does capitalism, police and the military. They need these to be infallible to feel they're part of something strong and steadfast no matter HOW reprehensible or flawed the entity may be.

[progressoid]

46. That last paragraph is really disturbing.

Only 3%?

[WhiteTara]

47. Buh Bye Judy!

better luck in your next life,

[Cha]

48. Karma is a Fucking ******! Ain't it SO!!!!!

Mahalo, MrScorpio

[oasis]

52. Description update: "Shit for brains, unredeemable, deplorable assholes."

Our candidate was way to kind to this crowd.

[Hoyt]

53. Only if Trump stops hating on women, ethnic groups, etc., will he lose ignorant white wingers.

[lunasun]

54. Not going to change . They were like this before trump, can be out now, and will continue

Krugman believes it does. He argues that Trump's appeal is rooted not in the substance of his politics but in his crude personality, which gives "outright, unapologetic voice to racism, sexism, contempt for 'losers' and so on—feelings that have always been an important source of conservative support, but have long been things you weren’t supposed to talk about openly."

"One way to think about Fox News in general, and Mr. O’Reilly in particular, is that they provide a safe space for people who want an affirmation that their uglier impulses are, in fact, justified and perfectly O.K.," he continues. "And one way to think about the Trump White House is that it’s attempting to expand that safe space to include the nation as a whole."

[rug]

58. trump's people

[Zambero]

59. The culture of looking down on the lesser

She despises those illegals, and anyone in the "other" category since she is better and a solid member of America's privileged majority. And the entrenched Ayn Rand mindset of those holding the reins of power in the GOP despise her and those like her equally if not more. To them she is nothing more than a worthless eater demanding a handout. Ironically, this is precisely how she feels about those who prompted her to vote for Trump. And doubly ironic that she would choose to do so again, only from under the bus.

[dlk]

62. Experience is an Excellent Teacher

It's easy for this Trump supporter to cling to her convictions and being "right" because her program hasn't been cut, yet. It would be interesting to see what she would say after a couple of years without her "lifeline." Her thought processes appear to be "frozen" and she is unable to stretch her brain to take in new information, as is the case with so many diehard Republicans. Only the actual experience of deprivation over time might make a difference in her voting choices. It's really sad, not just for her, but also for the rest of us who are forced to live with the awful consequences of Republicans running the government.

[hawy]

63. tortured

I understand. This article is about my father and the people I have lived with after relocating to Florida 12 years ago. They have been tortured for 8 yrs knowing that a black family has been sleeping in the White House, period. They are prepared to burn that house down.

[Left-over]

64. Who kicks these people in the butt to get them to breath when they wake up? Something is wrong when

you vote for and support what is doing you incredible harm.

[rurallib]

66. Let's give corporate media a huge amount of credit for making Democrats

and the ideals of the Democratic party the enemy.

They have been selling us Republicans morning, noon and night since Reagan.
Now 1/3rd of the populace would never for a democrat for anything.

[alterfurz]

68. "It is easier to fool people than to convince them...

...they have been fooled." -- Mark Twain

[colorado_ufo]

69. These people exhibit no common sense.

However, I wish Clinton had never used the expression, "Basket of Deplorables" Nothing good could have come from that. The people who were going to vote for her already felt that way, and it only served to galvanize those who were against her. For those on the fence, it had a negative effect; this is not how you should refer to a portion of the population you intend to govern. It was a shame, because it worked against her and helped to cost us a potential great president.

[EarthFirst]

71. "Yet she said she might still vote for Trump in 2020"

"Some of the loyalty seemed to be grounded in resentment of Democrats for mocking Trump supporters as dumb bigots..."

Please don't sit there and blame ME because you got duped.

Yes, you're a fucking idiot to vote the same way twice and expect a different outcome...what else do you want me to say other than:

You did get one throng right: the Republicans DO want you to "sit home and die."

[Initech]

72. When you vote for a snake oil salesman, don't be surprised when you get scammed.

[QC]

75. Wait a minute, I thought we were up against Susan Sarandon. n/t

[dalton99a]

76. They're willing to suffer because he's making the Muslims and Mexicans suffer more

[Afromania]

77. Republican voters in a nutshell

They no longer vote for, or on, anything. Their entire motivation is one of negativity and objection-ism; to tear down and takes away. They add value to nothing, nothing at all. This lady here is going to sit home and die and on her way out she's going to vote for the fuckface that did it to her.

Yea, ok.

[3catwoman3]

78. If the term "dumb bigots" is disliked, we could just...

...leave out the bigot part.

[spanone]

79. sadly, many didn't see beyond his bullshit racism
