"Bernie Bro Just Wondering Who Her Royal Highness Michelle Obama Thinks She Is Anyway"

21. I was a big fan of an anti-nuclear activist's blog

that was extremely helpful after the Fukushima nuclear disaster about 5 years ago. He'd post translations from Japanese sources about Fukushima and the government and finance, no doubt he was a lefty and very smart. Then I began noticing comments about Obama hiring czars, using teleprompters, showing his birth certificate. At first I thought he was making fun of people believing in right-wing conspiracy theories, but he wasn't. I tried telling him that all American presidents appoint czars and use teleprompters because as a Japanese person maybe there was a chance he didn't know, but was swarmed and mocked by his followers. Never commented again. Soon he'd post any smear from any source about Michelle Obama's million dollar vacations paid for by taxpayers, her shopping sprees, how incompetent and stupid Obama was. I stopped reading his blog.

It was a shock. How could such a smart guy have absolutely no common sense when it came to ridiculous right-wing smears? It calls into question his judgement on everything. Who looks at the Obamas and sees such ugliness? And who looks at Hillary Clinton and sees someone only interested in money? I'm sure that blogger is going on about Hillary's 600 dollar haircuts and Chelsea Clinton's Wall St. husband.

These days I'm not shocked when I see people like this. It's like they have a blind spot in their brains. I still wonder how they got that way though.
