I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    And this is prime “You didn’t vote for my shit candidate, therefore you are literally Hitler”.

    It is certainly nice to not have blood on my hands.

      Oh I didn’t say that.

      I just find it amusing when folks claim that their conscience and hands are clean when they played a part in getting trump elected.

      It was a decision telling of priorities, and sending a message, or maintaining a clear conscience, was likely deemed more important than the ramifications a trump presidency. That’s why I mentioned the ivory tower - I assumed that you thought you weren’t going to be too affected by a trump presidency? Either that, or you wanted to maintain a clean conscious despite that? The latter is admirable in it’s own way, but i believe less likely when looking at entire populations.

        “played a part in getting trump elected” this is so vague though. Because I can argue that you played a part on getting Trump elected by voting for Democrats for the past 50 years.

        The lower class has been dying. It’s either death by a thousand cuts or whatever Trump and his cronies are doing. The faster the death the faster the lower class will react.

        So you can see that as the silver lining on Trump’s election.

      A lot of these comments in this post seem insane but what it looks like is that non-principled people just can not understand principled people. The non-principled people hurt themselves (and many others) in their confusion.
