Trump Voters Will Not Like What Happens Next

So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president. We are so exhausted from thinking about this election, millions of people will take up leaf-raking and garage cleaning with intense pleasure. We liberal elitists are wrecks. The Trumpers had a whale of a good time, waving their signs, jeering at the media, beating up protesters, chanting “Lock her up” — we elitists just stood and clapped. Nobody chanted “Stronger Together.” It just doesn’t chant.

The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word, wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a couple of six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls. It was pleasure enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay — by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners, Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera-goers, the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth and froth at the mouth.

Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next.

To all the patronizing B.S. we’ve read about Trump expressing the white working-class’s displacement and loss of the American Dream, I say, “Feh!” — go put your head under cold water. Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress’s kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren’t plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.

We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.

I like Republicans. I used to spend Sunday afternoons with a bunch of them, drinking Scotch and soda and trying to care about NFL football. It was fun. I tried to think like them. (Life is what you make it. People are people. When the going gets tough, tough noogies.) But I came back to liberal elitism.

Don’t be cruel. Elvis said it, and it’s true. We all experienced cruelty back in our playground days — boys who beat up on the timid, girls who made fun of the homely and naive — and most of us, to our shame, went along with it, afraid to defend the victims lest we become one of them. But by your 20s, you should be done with cruelty. Mr. Trump was the cruelest candidate since George Wallace. How he won on fear and bile is for political pathologists to study. The country is already tired of his noise, even his own voters. He is likely to become the most intensely disliked president since Herbert Hoover. His children will carry the burden of his name. He will never be happy in his own skin. But the damage he will do to our country — who knows? His supporters voted for change, and boy, are they going to get it.

Back to real life. I went up to my home town the other day and ran into my gym teacher, Stan Nelson, looking good at 96. He commanded a landing craft at Normandy on June 6, 1944, and never said a word about it back then, just made us do chin-ups whether we wanted to or not. I saw my biology teacher Lyle Bradley, a Marine pilot in the Korean War, still going bird-watching in his 90s. I was not a good student then, but I am studying both of them now. They have seen it all and are still optimistic. The past year of politics has taught us absolutely nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The future is scary. Let the uneducated have their day. I am now going to pay more attention to teachers.

I love this. Thanks for sharing.

You love this?

Seems pretty Hitlerish.

Haha, yeah right. Plenty of non Trump voters were more than willing to give him a chance, but he just can't help himself. America is like the spouse who has continually tried to give the cheating husband a break and work together to move on, but he keeps cheating, so eventually you walk away and don't care what happens to him or those who got in bed with him.

Seems like there might be a great market for safe space. Lost your health insurance? I've got a safe space for you. 401K tanked? I've got a safe space for you. Unemployed? Safe space for rent. Environmental degradation got you down? Step right up, safe space for lease. The national guard and your active duty sons and daughters are going to war? Come cry in your safe space, we'll charge by the minute and defer interest. Immigrants stealing your job? Step right in and pray it away for $3.99 a second, take as long as you need. Safe space for sale! Safe space for sale! Saaaaaafe spaaaaaace for sale!

I'm going to make a killin.

That was nothing but a severely judgmental, decisive and superior piece of garbage. Dems lost. But they're right, because they say so.

the article does basically generalize Trump supporters as being of a certain type of person. I think that was the idea. If you supported Trump and you are not one of those people, then you are likely offended by this. Perhaps you need to start defending your man?

hahah....fake psychological advice. My opinion basically is that there has to be something missing in your brain/soul to be a Trump supporter. Seriously, the man was put into office by one of our greatest enemies, Russia. Need I go on? Okay, I will. He's also a pussy grabber, a racist and only semi-literate. Need I go on? His 'tweets/policies' are anti-capitalistic, his tan/hair are gaudy and he might even be a consumer of urine (even if he isn't, its funny as shit, remember the Birther Movement?). so yeah, fuck that guy.

JC29856

There is a short list of foreign leaders Trump speaks highly of... Putin, Netnyahoo did I miss anyone?


Israeli settlers and their American evangelical supporters are among the invitees to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on January 20.

Yehuda Glick, a Brooklyn-born rabbi and member of the Israeli parliament’s ruling Likud party confirmed that he will be attending the inauguration with fellow Likud lawmaker Sharren Haskel. They will be joined by Atlanta-born Israeli rabbi Jeremy Gimpel, who spoke about his intention to attend on a radio show on the Land of Israel Network. Gimpel is bringing his teenage son, a Trump fan, as a present for his bar mitzvah trip.

Seems pretty Hitlerish.

Yes. I guess because I could relate in a lot of things (being a booklover, birdwatcher, homecooker, grammar nazi...). And maybe what the author describes is another one of the stages of grief that people, me included, are going through with this situation. I also loved the little sparkle of hope that he gave in the end.
I don't understand your last sentence. Are you using the H-word for the shock effect? To offend me (being German)? I don't wish any bad on anyone. From what I am seeing, this might fit better for the Drumpf voters and defenders. I don't believe in God, I am not spiritual, but I do like it when I see a glimpse of karma in action. Other than that, I hope we will all get out of this alive and mentally and physically healthy.

How insecure of a man is he that even after winning the election to POTUS he can't ignore a sketch comedy show that mocks him.

It makes me think when he's home at night he wears prosthetic hand gloves like Charlie's uncle in Always Sunny.

I guess that's what happens when a below average kid is surrounded by "yes men" his entire life.

Thirty Bills Unpaid

The comedy is kind of over for me. The situation has moved from being hilarious to being pathetic.

I'm sure there will be plenty more laughs at the orange one's future follies, but the real issue is the fact that it would at least appear that half of the US is either flat out stupid or morally bankrupt. How else do you choose to vote for such a slob (no need to state his negative qualities here... they've been well documented to this point)?

If you're of the stupid variety and gal darn it... ya just wanted to make America great again... I can understand. If you're not stupid... then wtf man? Hilary was far from fantastic, but let's be honest around here: Trump was obviously way worse and he's proved so each and every day.
