(1,356 posts)the ire is properly directed against the small minority that lost states due to ignorance, anger, and plain old stupidity.
Had they bothered to do their homework and learn things, they would not have been such easy targets for propaganda and they would have learned that the issues they claimed to find so important were addressed by the candidate who legitimately represented them.
That narrative is backed up by facts, it's bullshit to pretend that the so-called left didn't play a role here.
The narrative that the party and the candidate that earned a historic number of votes is somehow worthy of ire from those who were too busy being ratfucked by the right and the Russians with their lies, is what's pure bull shit.
When one wastes ones vote in states where the loss was by such slim margins, one doesn't get to blame anyone else but oneself, fake purity and profound ignorance and a lot of stupidity and right wing misogyny got us Trump. Ire should and will be directed at those responsible, they thought they wouldn't be singed when they sought to burn it all down, and they're learning differently, but they don't get to blame anyone but their less than pure selves.
