Okay, GOP - I AM Listening
I’d really like to hear what it was about Hillary Clinton that caused you to vote for an idiot like Trump instead.
Did you fear that she was colluding with our enemies, the Russians, in order to win the election? Did you envision her handing over highly classified information to the Russians right there in the Oval Office if elected, and that possibility scared the bejesus out of you?
Were you afraid that her decades-long, mutually respectful relationships with our allies would somehow lead to global disdain, rendering our country a laughing-stock for ever having elected her in the first place?
Was it the fact that she is intelligent, well-educated, and well-versed in both domestic and international affairs that kept you awake at night, shivering in a cold sweat?
Was it the panic that set in when you realized she would undoubtedly appoint incompetent people to Cabinet positions – or, worse yet, her Goldman-Sachs type billionaire buddies – who would ignore the plight of hard-working Americans?
Did you cower in fear at the thought that our next POTUS would be someone who stood up for increased access to affordable healthcare, affordable college education, an increase in the minimum wage – and might insist that wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share in taxes so as to lessen the tax burden borne by middle-class workers?
Did you totally freak-out at the concept that someone who was on the side of OUR country and its citizens instead of being Putin’s puppet would occupy the White House?
Was it her coherence when she spoke, her common sense approach to our nation’s challenges, her grasp of how our government works that struck such fear in your heart, you had no choice but to vote for a man completely devoid of all of the above?
Did you whimper and whine with fear and loathing when you realized that someone who wouldn’t need her daily briefings reduced to bullet points and colouring-book graphics in order to be understood might occupy the White House?
Was it her remarkably successful career as a First Lady, as a senator, as our Secretary of State that led you to cast your ballot for an inexperienced, politically ignorant, self-serving Idiot who has built his (alleged) fortune by cheating his fellow citizens out of their money for the work they did for him? Was it his multiple bankruptcies that made you think he was a brilliant businessman? Was it his outsourcing of American jobs to low-wage countries that led you to believe he was the champion of the unemployed who’d lost their own jobs due to outsourcing?
So I’m curious. Exactly what was it about an intelligent, experienced, globally-respected candidate that shook you to the very core? What was it about a woman who has consistently demonstrated her commitment to her fellow citizens that led you to vote for a man whose only commitment has been to himself? Exactly what was it that led you to cast your ballot for a Putin ass-licker instead of someone who was willing to stand up to our enemies rather than praise them?
Seriously, I AM ALL EARS. I would love to hear why you thought an illiterate moron, addicted to incomprehensible and totally inane “tweets”, was worthy of your vote. I would love to hear why you thought the outsourcer-in-chief was committed to saving YOUR job. I would love to hear why you believed that a man who is incapable of putting a coherent sentence together was qualified to govern a nation, and navigate the complexities of the job of POTUS.
So go to it, Trump voters – explain yourselves. Because you’ve got a lot of ‘splaining to do.
= new reply since forum marked as read
as per the idiot 27 yr old who lives too close for comfort and was all bubbly on the morning of the election and just dying to tell someone who he voted for said in his defense (after pressing me as to who i voted for and finally accused me of "you voted for trump, didn't ya?" to which i responded with a gut reaction of "*fuck* no!"
:
"well, did you ever hear about whitewater?"
it was one of those kill-me-now moments.
