No, thanks, to Assholes 'r' Us

There's a talking point in the national media that despite the fact that Donald Trump is going to get decimated by Hillary Clinton on November 8th, we still need to pay attention to Trumps rabid supporters because a) they'll still be here after the election, and b) they have legitimate concerns.

This is, of course, complete and utter horseshit.

As to the first point, yes, they'll still be here but since as a group they are overwhelmingly white and old, their members will do nothing in the future but diminish, both in total numbers and as a percentage of the voting public.

As for the second point, these are the people I'm supposed to pay attention to because they have legitimate concerns:
  • Former U.S. representative Joe Walsh, who says if Hillary Clinton wins, he's going to engage in armed rebellion.  In a nutshell, this is treason--we don't celebrate Benedict Arnold and we shouldn't celebrate the likes of Joe Walsh either.  
  • Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, is already calling for impeachment hearings of President-elect  Secretary Clinton.  Because we all know the Founding Fathers fully intended for impeachment to be used as a way for parties with bad candidates and bad ideas that don't resonate with the American people to impede progress that would actually benefit said American people.
  • Sean Hannity, a man who, near as I can tell, has accomplished nothing in his life other than propagating hatred and bald-faced lies, has offered to pay for a one way ticket for the Obama family anywhere in the world as long as they never return to the U.S.  The Obama family is one of the classiest, most generous, smartest, and most gracious families ever to grace the White House, and President Obama is going to go down as one of the five greatest Presidents in our rich history, but still I need to pay attention to a scum pig piece of shit like Sean Hannity?
Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass about the concerns of Donald Trump's supporters--they've done nothing but drag this country down for a generation.
We shouldn't be interested in the concerns of pitiless assholes--we should be encouraging our better angels.

Peace,
