Many, many celebrities tweeted about President-Elect Donald Trump on “the morning after.” It was eerily reminiscent of the election of 2000, in that the Democrat won the popular vote but lost the electoral college, and that it felt like the whole world gasped at the choice America had made. Obviously, most celebrities are Democrats. That’s just the way it shakes out. So when they started tweeting about the election results, more than few of them pissed people off. Oddly, one of the big headlines was… Taran Killam, the former Saturday Night Live guy and actor. He tweeted this when it was clear that Trump swept through the deep South, the mid-West and the Rust Belt.
Rural = so stupid.
— Taran Killam (@TaranKillam) November 9, 2016
Rude? Absolutely. There were rural people who voted for Democrats, just as there are city people voting for Republicans. His crime was painting rural voters with too broad a brush. So, Taran got yelled at on Twitter, and he had to offer up one insincere apology and one sincere apology.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Certainly a flippant comment made in jest. Allow me to be sincerely clear. Vote 4 Trump = I think you're stupid.
— Taran Killam (@TaranKillam) November 9, 2016
In the light of day, I'm embarrassed for making thoughtless and mean statements. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
— Taran Killam (@TaranKillam) November 9, 2016
I actually chuckled at “Allow me to be sincerely clear. Vote 4 Trump = I think you’re stupid.” He shouldn’t have to apologize for that. Do I have to apologize for thinking the same thing? Like, all of you Trump voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida and North Carolina: I think you’re stupid. Trump thinks you’re stupid too. You got pulled in by the dumbest con man in America and even he can’t believe you fell for it. And those voters are too stupid to realize that they’ll be feeling the brunt of all of the Trump administration’s bad policies. Also stupid? The thousands of motherf–kers who voted for “Harambe & Hennessy.”

Trump supporters are stupid, racist and sexist and they deserve everything bad that is going to happen to them through Trump. I have no sympathy for them.
I also don’t give a eff about those 3 party voters who first gave us Bush and now has given us the devil. Your moral high ground has ruined generations to come – especially for women.
My sympathies lies with the poor people who voted for love and acceptance and equal rights. You guys have behaved with integrity and class and I hope you survive the Trump war.
For real !
Well- sociopathic borderline influenced team trump knows how to spin. Look at the Melania platform- “anti-bullying”. Code for- “if you criticize us there will be consequences- beginning with national shame on the critics”.
But I have to say that I’m grappling with the stupid amongst he liberals. There are -still- stein and Johnson voters spouting stuff on Facebook- with the theme of “it’s a free country I voted my conscience”. This is a special brand of stupid that I can’t understand nor reconcile. I’m fuming and it hasn’t stopped.
Third-party voters didn’t give Trump this election. Hillary still would have come up short with the electoral college if all those that leaned towards her even slightly voted for her. Some leaned towards Trump, and most just wouldn’t have voted. She would have been closer, but not close enough.
She eked out the popular vote but she didn’t get the votes where it mattered, and that’s down to Democrat turnout being weak. Dyed in the wool democrats didn’t come out for her like they needed to. She was never going to get Obama numbers, but she should have done significantly better. She didn’t even campaign post-convention in some key states and regions, and she was relying on more of the black, hispanic and women’s vote than she ever should have been.
I watched the election play by play, and between 2 1/2 -6% of the electoral vote was wasted between stein and Johnson. Even my 10 year old figured it out with his 5th grade math skills. I was ashamed to admit the people we would typically consort with had ruined democracy as we know it. The protest votes of liberal voters elected a nationalist who will irrevocably destroy our environment and send us back 100 years in civil rights. This is factual. Live with it for me because I’m insane with anquish today.
And the supporters of this maniac are already trying to tell the rest of us to sit down and shut up. Hell no! Yesterday I was sad. Today I am ready to stand up and and fight for the America that is kind, just and inclusive.
Right. A lot of them are saying “It’s over just accept it.” Where tf was that mentality for you hypocrites during the last 8 years? What goes around comes around and that’s a lesson they will learn and learn hard. Unfortunately we are all dragged down with them. #notmypresident.
That’s how I feel too. Yesterday I was sad, today I was mad.
Lol, I just love the fact that the orange villain that they cried for has won and they are still crying about voter fraud on some sites, are .you. Kidding. Me. What about the glitches in NC that caused polls to close late but in “urban ” areas they did not allow as much time as was really needed. Or the people standing in line for up to 4 hour….. never mind. ….. the people who voted for him are less than smart , and the ones who nominated him in the first place sold their souls.
It say a lot about you when you care more about a Party than picking someone who is right for the job!
Oh, the irony of your last sentence
Actually, Trump is mysoginistic, racist and homophobic. We cannot – and should not – paint those who voted for him with the same broad judgemental strokes. That’s like suggesting all Democrats are on the dole. Perhaps the problem is that we have stopped thinking that some of those with opposite views may have valid reasons.
Ps – for the record, I supported Clinton.
Babsie-AGREE with you completely. Well said.
I would agree with you… if his numbers didn’t climb after every racist, homophobic and misogynistic gaff he made. It’s clear his voters identify with that aspect of him.
How does voting for a misogynistic homophobic racist to become one of the most powerful people in the world not make you a misogynistic homophobic racist?
Thank you for saying this. I’m an Independent and am shocked at the hate my fellow humans have spewed the last 24 plus hours. I feel bad for those that loved Hillary but that gets lost when I have to stand up for my Republican friends. Those whom I know did not vote for Donald for the reason(s) of hate described. There is so much fear being projected in ways that tell me that Liberals have no idea who their neighbors are. How sad!
As I said, I’m an Independent. I love things about BOTH parties and people. I vote on issues because it’s important to think about each one independently of a group. I realize that this creates anger within some of you. That anger is unjustified. We NEED diversity! I am part of that diverse voice. My Republican and Democratic friends are a part of that diverse voice! We should be celebrating because diversity *is* PRESENT rather than shutting it down with broad strokes of demeaning/ugly adjectives- hopefully we’re better than that.
Getting mad? Human. Being sad or distraught? Human. But hurting other people because of those emotions? Not within the definition of the humanity I believe in!
Ok. So maybe one person was racist and another was homophobic but not racist. However, they suported him knowing what he was. They lifted this disgusting pile of garbage up to the highest office in our country. It does make you racist or homophobic or sexist or all of them or some combination of them.
You’re in denial. If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas. If they didn’t support the racism, misogyny, xenophobia and ableism of Trump they shouldn’t have voted for him. Their vote endorses all the awful things he’s said and done.
This attempt to rationalize quite frankly sounds like white people trying to clear their conscience while knowing they get a pass from most of the hate anyway. The internet is lit up with stories and pictures of people who’ve been attacked post election by Trump supporting haters. This is happening. Deal with it.
@Syd and @Babsie I understand where you both are coming from. However the fact is that the people who think the way you both do are largely because you’re either white or privileged in some way or both. POC, immigrants did not have the luxury of taking a chance in voting for someone like Trump. They didn’t have the privilege to “look past” his racism and xenophobia because they like his “policies” or because he “tells it like it is.” That being said just because you are feeling disenfranchised is no excuse for voting for any of the -isms. I think that other part that baffles me is that I know we are supposed to believe that all of these rural Bible Belt voters voted because they are angry about losing manufacturing jobs, being able to buy a home with a regular income, having a good job without a college degree, etc etc, but the fact that they continually vote for and supported the people who were in charge during the years 2000-2009, when we lost 3.6 million manufacturing jobs baffles the shit out of me. By the time GWB left the office, the trade deficit doubled to $700 billion!! Also, the fact that these voters actually think Trump and the rest of whoever his administration is are going to be bring these jobs back and make things go back to the way they were before is sad and likely not going to happen.
And Obama and Hillary are any better. Hillary voted to start a war in Iraq. Obama killed hundreds of innocent civilians with drone strikes. And both he and Hillary caused the Arab spring, which resulted in civilians losing their homes and lives, so that Obama and Hillary could push their agenda. Obama and Hillary are truly evil.
Puhleeze. Obama and Hillary are in no league with the demagoguery and idiocracy of Trump.
Unlike Trump, who has already said he will “bomb the shit out of them” and that he will go after targets’ families and wonder why we don’t just use nukes. Derp! Drive around and try again, please.
Yeah but as yet he hasn’t bombed the shit out of them, but Clinton and Obama have, so how can you judge him worse than them on foreign invasions and interventions? He may well be as gleeful a warmonger as Hilary, but at the moment he isn’t. And I’m sure Iraqi, Syrian, Palestinian, Honduran, Saudi Arabian and Lybian women and children are not sad to see the back of Hilary. Feminist… give me a break.
The Republican vote for the Iraq war was 215 yes, 6 no. I assume you are just as angry with them. Trump also supported the war, despite his subsequent denials. The Arab Spring was a good thing btw, it was a flowering of pro democracy movements. It didn’t last, and the current situation is heartbreaking, but it was a good thing. It’s easy for Trump to criticise others political actions: he’s never had to take any, having been too busy doing property deals, going bankrupt, starting bogus colleges, and appearing on silly TV shows while others were grappling with life and death decisions. The ball is in his court now. Unfortunately for the rest of us.
This guy has nothing to apologize for. America, with the exception of open, progressives like us, is a dumb, dumb country. This is a dark turn in our country’s history, we are regressing. I never thought there was a chance but now I know there is, that I will live to see an atomic bomb dropped, most likely on our country, because uneducated and ignorant (by desire) people elected a nine-year-old boy as POTUS. Trump is not fit to be the dirt under President Barack Hussein Obama’s fingernails.
I feel sad for you. There are people that are WONDERFUL in that group you just bashed and it only reflects horribly on you to think it’s ok to bash anyone because they think, live, vote differently than you. Seriously. Who sounds like Hitler now.
You need to open up a few history books if you think the problem with Hitler was that he called somebody stupid. When someone’s ‘living, thinking, and voting differently’ involves taking people’s rights away and putting others at risk, people absolutely will judge and bash and have the right to do so. People’s political actions effect other people. Your friends are problematic. Own it, and try to understand why your friends are being judged for the choice they made instead of screaming ‘Hitler’ because your wonderful little friends are being held accountable for their actions.
Welcome to amerikkka where racists are just WONDERFUL.
Yep, that sounds about right.
Syd,
Like you, if I swim in the fishbowl of like mindedness, I get claustrophobic.
Some of the people With whom I love a long talky dinner with are 180 degrees different in politics.
I want to hear them out, find out their thinking. It’s like reading a book; the author is not wrong, just a different life view.
Perhaps all the people who voted for Trump aren’t racists. But all the racists voted for Trump.
And yes, as I commented below, if you voted for trump you are dumb because it’s a bad idea having an orange tween boy as president of the usa. But what is really stupid is that there aren’t quotas in place in the Oval Office, Senate, etc to force them to hire woman, people of colour, etc. The US is like 53rd place in the world when it comes diversity in the government. This is some bullish!t that needs to change. I will not shut up until i see change!!!!!
I will never apologise for calling a Trump supporter or Brexit supporter a moron.
Many people voted against the establishment whilst voting for a billionaire and/or for rich Conservative/Republicans (also millionaires and poshly educated).
You must be appallingly stupid to vote against your own interests.
To the epitome of ridiculousness, the only ones I can give a pass are rich/wealthy people who, whatever the outcome of a Brexit or a Trump presidency, they will have more cake and will be able to eat it.
They are the intelligent supporters, in my opinion. The rest are deluded morons.
“You must be appallingly stupid to vote against your own interests.”
This a hundred times!
It puzzles me how does any person think that a narcissist man-child billionaire will move a finger for people that most likely disgust him…
Hillary greatest weakness was her supporters. One can make a good argument without attacking someone. Hillary supporters were the first to start attacking rival supporters for no reason. It’s typical for someone to throw in the race card when it suits them. I’ve seen people use the race card even when they are in the wrong. Another thing the Democratic party focused over the years on only one ethnic group which caused their downfall. Just because someone voted for Trump doesn’t mean they are what you claim they are. Whoever wins an election affects us all. It’s easy for someone like Kaiser or Taran to call someone stupid in order to gain more followers or too appeal to a broader audience. I talked with both Hilary supporters and Trump supporters, and Hillary supporters gave me stupid reasons on why they will vote for her.
I don’t think all Trump supporters are stupid. The poor ones, maybe. They voted against their interest. But rich ones? They are horrible people who only care for themselves and have no human decency, but they are not stupid.
Seth Myers had the best post-election speech and touched on some really good points.
I actually thing they are stupid and racist ! they knew exactly who they were voting for. I am sure that no one among them can say even one line of Donald Trump’s program but yet they voted for him !
“the poor ones?”. dam u are so brainwashed. did u say that too when the poor blacks came out to vote for Obama? lots of people are poor but it doesn’t make them stupid. as a matter of fact, u writing this just made u very stupid.
Well, at least the women are ALL stupid. Because there are issues at stake for them that don’t discriminate. Rich, poor, all races and ethnicities, sexual orientation etc. Certainly minority women get the shortest end of the stick once again but generally speaking, if you’re a Trump-voting lady, you voted for a man who hates you and will not do one damn thing for you. Quite the opposite. If that’s not stupid …
Not just uneducated men who voted for him. Just read this this morning.
http://nypost.com/2016/11/10/im-a-woman-and-this-is-why-i-voted-for-donald-trump/
I tried to read it and had to stop. If this woman received a degree from an accredited institution she needs to get her money back because they led her astray. If you vote for a political candidate who you say has ‘no political agenda’, that’s the quickest way to end up in a ditch. It’s like saying I want a good musician who happens to be tone deaf. Which leads me to believe she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
She tried to make her case but I’m not buying what she’s selling.
So … that lady’s hot button issue appears to be health-care/ACA? (She mentioned it twice.) And she owns a law firm? I wonder if she has 50 full-time equivalent staff and suddenly had to provide health insurance to her employees.
I’m with Kaiser. Preach woman!
True. But campaigning for Clinton was also stupid. The system is Dead. You Can keep insulting people or you Can start being constructive.
I respectfully disagree. I campaigned for Hillary and quite the opposite of stupid it was an amazing and uplifting experience of working together with all kinds of people for a common good. Which, if I read your comment correctly is the point.
The Democrats really have only one person to blame for Trump’s victory and that is the head of the DNC at the time of the Democrat nomination process- Debbie Schultz. Instead of letting Democrats pick their candidate Debbie rigged the votes against Bernie. And of all people to nominate- Hillary. With all the baggage she carried why would you push Hillary on the voters. If Elizabeth Warren would have run I truly believe she would have beat Trump. And the same could have been said for Bernie or Jim Webb. Don’t blame Trump. Blame Debbie.
I apologize Fl girl, I didn’t mean to criticize genuine citizens.
@ Babs…no apology necessary, I understand. The “system” is certainly broken, but it is the system in place. I think it is still too soon. We are all raw with emotion. The divisions revealed during this campaign will not be healed in 4 years. However, it does not mandate that we do not go forward. Citizenry is about each individual working with others to change the stuff that doesn’t work.
“It is the job of every good citizen to keep their mouth open.” (Loosely quoted from B. Franklin, maybe – too tired to look it up.)
#not my president
Ack. You shouldn’t be rude and offensive and tar entire sections of people with the same brush. But we let people off for a stream of anger after a big election or referendum result, don’t we? I think you should just get up in the morning and say something like…
“Um… hi. Kumbaya?”
… and then carry on as normal. Even if you are famous. Also, let’s not normalise Trump just because people voted for him.
Sorry, this was in the wrong place.
“let’s not normalise Trump just because people voted for him.”
This to infinity.
To me, Kumbaya is normalizing. I’m not going to make nice. I’m not going to pick fights, but I am going to say, “No.” As many times as it takes, as long as it takes.
Kumbaya is what I would say when I’d just called an entire demographic stupid even though that demographic had voted in different ways, but wasn’t ready to apologise for my frustration at an election result that resulted in a tantrum.
See?
” let’s not normalise Trump just because people voted for him.”
THANK YOU @SIXER!
People are normalizing this man in order to stomach the fact he was elected. They are twisting themselves into knots to rationalize it.
No it is NOT OK. He is not another Bush, Romney, or McCain. Hell he’s not even a Nixon. At least Nixon was technically competent.
Every excuse I’ve heard for why people did it just makes me ragey. Upset about Obamacare? So that justifies voting for totalitarian bully that peddles in racist, sexist, xenophobic rhetoric? Repulsive. Absolutely repulsive. Maybe these people aren’t racists or sexist in their heart of hearts BUT one thing is abundantly clear:
They do not give a flying eff about anyone else but their own interests and they have ZERO empathy for people who are from marginalized groups. And yes I will continue to judge away.
*Still pissed off
At this point, the role of US president is a joke; we might as well have a Kardashian as the next president. Apparently, you don’t need to have ever served in political office, worked for the government, or pay taxes. You can admit to sexual assault, defraud millions of investors (Trump University and other fake real estate developments like in Baja, CA), and go bankrupt multiple times. You can collude with foreign governments like Russia, openly cheat on your spouse, and marry an illegal immigrant. As long as the candidate says what the electoral college wants to hear, he’ll win. I wouldn’t be surprised if he filmed a reality show of his time in the White House– this is where we are at.
I love how right wingers get to call us every name is the book, assault us, question our intelligence, threaten us, tell us our lives don’t matter, that, as women, four decades of experience still makes us less qualified than a never-held-political-office guy who sexually assaults women and is s terrible businessman with a rich daddy and but we say “You’re stupid” and we’re the scum of the Earth who can never atone for our sins. Y’all can piss off.
Someone should ask Trump voters, someone should ask TRUMP actually, what they three branches of government are. I have the worst feeling that most of them won’t know. We laugh at America’s education problem all the time but now it’s not so funny, is it?
Don’t forget we’re also not allowed to call right-wingers bigots, because that hurts their feelings. Actually BEING bigots doesn’t bother them, but they don’t like it to be pointed out to them.
It’s parallel to families that shield abusers in their midst. They don’t mind the abuse so much as when the victim makes the abuse public.
Thank you, Kasia. ITA.
He’s 100% correct. A vote for Trump means you’re stupid. Period.
Still grieving. Cried all day yesterday at work. Overheard some dumbass woman explaining that she’s never voted in her life but voted for Trump because he’s a great business man. I laughed out loud and said “you’ve got to be kidding me!” I live in Arkansas. It’s hard to live in state where the majority voted for that pig. I told my husband we needed to move. I was born in Pennsylvania and am DISGUSTED they went red. I need to move to California. The only state that absolutely crushed Trump. So many states were too damn close.
And the electoral college needs to go f*ck itself. I’m going to be angry for a long time.
I live in Alabama and am devastated. Waited in line for two hours and feel like my vote didn’t matter. I used to live in Oregon and would love to move back to the west coast but my family and friends are mostly in the southeast. I’m also a victim of date rape and every time I see his face, I feel the rage all over again. I can’t understand how any woman could vote for that piece if shit. But as things start to sink in, I’m getting more fired up. I’m glad this site exists. It’s an honor to be in the company of such amazing and strong women. Sending all the love!!
I never understand the huge voting queues. I know the US is a big country, but everytime I’ve voted in the UK or Ireland, I’ve just walked in. Aren’t there enough polling stations? Is it a deliberate ploy? It surely deters, especially if you are waiting with a baby and toddler. Or in the pouring rain. Or have work or family “deadlines”? Surely there needs to be pressure to get that sorted.
I live in California, and knowing that we are a strong force against Trump and knowing we have strong institutions and leaders in place within our great big blue state to keep our values in place and protect our population is a comfort. But we cannot combat climate change all alone, and could be dragged into large scale conflict by this farce of a “leader” and that–among much else– is frightening.
Plus, if we all band geographically together (hypothetically) it ruins any chance dems stand in the battleground states. I’m in the Florida panhandle, in a sea of red, and it’s a nightmare.
I preach but we are looking at moving Northeast/west coast just to get away from the ignorance onslaught every day.
Hey, I used to live in the Panhandle. Panama city beach. Now in Jacksonville. Miss the clear water, but not some of the people!
I’m a Californian from PA and the only thing that is perhaps consoling is that my state made huge progressive strides in this election…let’s face it, I’m probably gonna need the pot to get through the next four years! On a serious note, I can’t help but think about people like myself and my husband (Democrats for life) who never vote our wallet even though it would be in our best interest financially. I am proud to be a person who considers it a duty to pay taxes for the betterment of our community and country. Also, I vote for decency and equality and fairness. To those poor white folks in the rust belt, I feel for you, I do. But your new President elect is not going to do anything for you and Paul Ryan et al are going to cut SS, they are going to cut taxes for the “rich” and they are going to tell you to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. That’s they republican way. Believe meI know, I lived and still live with family memebers who have this mentality. There are only poors because they don’t want to work, blah, blah, blah….and don’t get me started on growing up in a blue collar neighborhood where in every other house lived a police officer. The racial slurs I heard that I thought were “normal” until I got out went to college and started living among a diverse population. Sorry, for rambling, So much going through my head and so much sadness. My kids asked me why the bad guy won and I just don’t know.
They are not stupid; they just think differently than you. Your words are a reflection of your heart- not theirs.
Let’s stop candy coating things. Some people are legit not very bright and it’s totally self inflicted. Let’s live in the real world. We all saw the multiple interviews with Trump supporters struggling to explain why they support him and/or totally getting their facts wrong.
Call it like it is. It might help somebody.
@Syd…Think “differently” than me? Are you f*cking kidding me? I’m not calling people stupid because we had a difference of opinion on healthcare, education or the military for instance. Anyone who voted for Trump voted against human decency and progress! A reflection of my heart? My heart is grieving for the millions of people that were just shat on. A vote for Trump was a vote for hatred. Remember that when you go to your KKK rally this evening.
I hope you’ve been calling out right wingers for all the nonsense they’ve been spewing about Obama for the past 8 years. *Crickets* Yeah, that’s what I thought. Look, Trump has shown himself to be full of hate for anyone not male, white, cis-gendered and wealthy. If you voted for him, that’s a reflection of what’s in *your* heart. It deserves to be called out.
Syd,
I understand what you’re saying, and I’m going to be verbally beheaded for this, but there has to a reaching across to others, or we are lost. We have to learn about other lives beyond our own.
In four years, there’s going to be another campaign. We can’t choose a proper leader unless there’s communication.humans have the gift of language, we must use it to the betterment of mankind.
I actually have more contempt for the smart and relatively affluent people who voted for Trump, who had weighed up the issues and found that a few more $$$$ off tax was more important than avoiding unleashing this man into the WH.
No, they are stupid.
Voting against self interest = stupid.
Voting for racists reasons = stupid.
Voting for someone without a clear plan for your country = stupid (ad infinitum).
Voting without checking the crazy facts your candidate is giving, and just assuming all he says is true = stupid.
Voting for a man because he is a “great businessman” who in fact went broke a couple of times and most probably doesn’t pay taxes = stupid (ad infinitum, again).
….
I could go on, but I think you can see the point.
I agree! The electoral collage needs to be abolished. Back in 2000 gore won the popular but lost to Bush, and now it’s happened again. There is no way Democrat’s can win with this the way it is!!! Get rid of that stupid system. Let’s find a way to do this!
That has only happened (I think) four other times in US presidential election history, with two being in the past 16 years.
Orangey joins GWB, Harrison, Hayes and JQ Adams, as elected while losing the popular vote.
I think stupid is okay. Some other choice words too. This is excellent and how I’m feeling… And damn it I’m not American (husband is) and we live in Europe but I couldn’t stop weeping for the choice this represents. For shame.

Thank you for posting that excellent article, Slushee!
Syd, you’re the one we should feel sorry for. You are refusing to see what’s right in front of you. No idea if it is disingenuous or not, but it’s still pitiful.
Why can’t you admit that maybe they just ARE not very bright? It is clear as day to the rest of us, FFS.
No, when you have a candidate who has said and done some of the most disgusting things you’ve ever seen on the public stage and you go and vote for a p*ss* grabbing, Mexican hating, proven failure at business because you’re dull enough to think he has a way to help your weirdo woman hating honky butt get a job that has long ago moved overseas because of Trump and people like him then you are going to have a lot of people rightfully telling you that you are stupid and have done something very, very bad. But if you support someone who says things like Trump has then you shouldn’t be offended by being called stupid seeing as your Trump has said worse throughout the entire existence of his pathetic life. Chances are if you did vote for trump you aren’t smart enough to be offended by what he said because you probably don’t read very well anyway. Not Sorry. Not sorry about being not sorry.
I agree with you. I live in Ohio and I was on and off a wreck yesterday… But every inbred moron walking into my shop yesterday had a huge smile. Some were waving flags. Nothing about this orange gnome benefits any of you people. 😐
Did you still sell to them?
Yes, yes and more yes to your comment. My parents are evangelical x-tians and it has corroded their brains to the point of being fully stupid with no critical thinking. They voted for Trump against their own economic interests just because they like Mike Pence and hate Democrats. So those people who need the government’s help the most (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Affordable Care Act, etc) just turned it all over to the Republicans and Trump who will dismantle it as much as they possibly can as fast as they can.
ITA with you @jerkface
Part of my family are socially conservative evangelicals and even THEY did not vote for this man. They all voted third party. I would have rather they voted for Hilary but given that they normally vote Republican I was very pleased and proud of them. They were completely repulsed by his disgusting treatment of people with disabilities, his comments about immigrants, his inability to ever apologize, his non-stop lying, his tremendous ignorance and his lack of any sort of clear policies among other things.
So no I have no patience for people who voted for him. None. Zero. If the evangelicals in my family could put their country first than others could too.
Stupid as hell.
Of all my cousins, of which there are many, there are two have always been unintelligent and they are the two who voted for Trump.
I told one how hurtful it is, because my husband and child are Latino (among so many other reasons but I just wanted to try to let him see how real this is to us). And he said he will defend us if we are ever threatened. Idiot! We ARE threatened and you did the opposite of defend us by voting for that racist!
God I’m so sick to my stomach all day since this happened. Trump voters are stupid and I’ll never apologize for saying that.
I’m sorry about your cousins. The hardest part of dealing with these stupid Trump supporters is their total inability to see reason, and your cousin saying he’ll defend you while voting for someone who has said such awful things is one example of that.
Agreed! Stupid is as stupid does and STUPID has spoken. I don’t know how long it will be before I can rationally speak to any of the Trump supporters in my life and there are a few. But I do know I’m going to fight every attempt at overturning Roe vs Wade, defunding Planned Parenthood, wall-building, deportation, war-mongering policy attempted by Trump and his merry band of jackasses!
“war-mongering” that’s a hoot. Did you speak out against Obama’s illegal war in Libya and Syria? Did you call out Obama for using drones to kill Americans overseas without the benefit of a trial? Did you call out Obama for sending drugs to Mexican drug cartels? Did you call out Hillary and Obama for rattling the saber’s of war with Russia? You know Russia, the country that has not attacked the US or fired a shot at a US armed forces? Who is the real “war-monger”?
Bush/Cheney to answer your question.
I see you’ve swallowed the good old Russia rubbish. Reagan must be birling in his grave. Of course Russia hasn’t fired at or attacked the US. It doesn’t have a death wish. The scenario is played out by proxy forces or by incremental steps, like Russia recently positioning nuclear weapons virtually on the Polish / Germany border. Putin is vile. He does vile things. He wishes nothing but ill to the US. And Trump has made it clear that he won’t take a strong line if Russia starts encroaching on the Baltic States the way it has on Ukraine. Putin is welcoming Trump like a lion welcomes a particularly daft wildebeest straying into range on the African Savannah.
He shouldn’t have apologized. Nothing wrong at all with what he said, once clarified.
I too live in Angrywhitemanistan (GA). I cried for most of the previous two days. I never felt comfortable here as “a Yankee” (like my MIL likes to remind me) and now I’m just sickened. I hate that this is who we’ve chosen to represent USA. #notmypresident
My parents like to refer to my husband as a Yankee (he was born in Arkansas and raised mostly in Louisiana.) He and I have since moved to the Midwest, and they now like to say how I’m surrounded by yankees. They both voted for Trump. And failed American history, I’ll assume.
Against my better judgement, I engaged in debate on Facebook last night with a guy who repeatedly promised he could destroy me, and kept calling Hillary a liar and murderer, and me an idiot for saying Trump is not as successful as he likes to think. I told him I feel sorry for his children, especially any daughters, because their dad voted for the p@ssy grabbing guy who thinks his own daughter is a hot piece of tail. He just kept on that he was holding back and could insult me. Please. If he could’ve, he would’ve. And I give zero f#cks what the bassist in a Christian rock band no one has ever heard of thinks, full stop.
🙁
Also: in WHAT world would your parents consider a person born in Arkansas and raised in Louisiana a Yankee? At least I was born north of the Mason-Dixon.
In a word, stupidity. The kicker though? Neither of my parents were born in the south. My mom wasn’t even born in the states (or in the western hemisphere, ffs.) I like to tell them that in England, we’re all Yankees, but for them that word only has the meaning attached via the Civil War. Thankfully they’ve never referred to it as the war of northern aggression, but they’re still idiots. Love them, but don’t like them.
WI voter here, disappointed by my state, I thought we were better:/
When a polititian has been so verbally abusive to so many groups (and threatening to take this abuse to its very last consequences), if you vote for him you are either stupid or cruel.
Is cruelty stupid? I think so – it’s the inability of empathy. Sounds like stupidity to me: narrow-mindedness to the level of only focussing on your own belly-button.
Should we lower our standards and start behaving like Trump and call people names? Ah, lets have a two-day amnesty on that and then we go back to our polite, compassionate and ethical selves.
Well said @Slowsnow
I read an interesting discussion on reddit about how to help people in rural areas, people who voted for Trump or are Trump supporters. Basically they voted for Trump because they want their manufacturing jobs back. And Trump promised them exactly that, which is nearly impossible to do.
I’ll go further and say it’s 100% entirely impossible to do. Manufacturing jobs are gone, middle management jobs are gone, administrative jobs are gone…what candidates should have been talking about, of all parties, is how to handle an emerging economy of low-wage service work, contingent employment, high automation, and the need for nationalized income floors and health insurance as a result. As much as I hate the stupidity and racism and sexism and nativism and gun love and Constitutional ignorance expressed by Trump voters, they at the same time have been fed a bill of goods by the American political establishment under both Democratic and Republican presidents. No amount of “retraining” programs is going to help, and their communities are being drained dry by drugs. Clinton probably did have some plans to be helpful but they weren’t communicated nearly well enough. Trump made empty promises to people so desperate they would accept slogans instead of pragmatism. Fury over the loss of white privilege took it the rest of the way…
He did nothing but tell the truth. He shouldn’t have to apologize for it.
I have lived in some of these small rural communities at certain points. Yes, these people are ignorant and perversely proud of it too. Add fear filled and gullible, oh so gullible. So many of them live off SS benefits, Medicaid/care and other public assistance too. They are in for a rude awakening. Yet, when Trump fails (of course) to put a factory in every white neighborhood, they’ll still ignorantly blame the Dems.
There are rural areas that have never had manufacturing jobs, and people still voted for him. The area I’m from only brought in manufacturing within the last twelve years. There were very, very few before that time, and they are notoriously hard jobs to get, regardless of who is in the White House. A lot of these people who feel disenfranchised voted for him because they believe he’s some upstanding Christian, which might be the most laughable thing in this whole mess. But they don’t understand the whole separation of church and state thing, or that there is nothing in this country’s laws protects their religion above all others, no, they believe they are under attack and the orange menace will right the wrongs they believe are happening to them. There are many reasons someone would vote for Cheeto Voldemort, but none of them are good or based in reality.
The rural comment was probably out of line. But not the rest. I have to say, if I see one more person preaching about how we have to be kind and come together after this election, I’m going to scream. It’s not as though Donald Trump was running on a platform of kindness and unity – he did the exact opposite. Kindness is, and has been proven to be, for losers. So for the next four years I’m going to have to be incredibly unkind. Yes, if you voted for Trump, you are stupid and racist and I hate almost everything you claim to stand for by having voted for this person. If the only way to protect the causes I care about during what will probably be an awful four years is to call out stupidity and racism where I see it, then that’s what I will have to do. There are scores of people rejoicing that Trump is going to repeal Obamacare because their premiums went up. What do these idiots think he is going to replace it with???? And that’s just one tiny example of how these morons have screwed us over. So, no. I will not be apologizing for calling you exactly what you are, even if you are my husband’s stupid, racist aunt from North Carolina. I’d even go so far as to say I wish there was a way to hold people accountable for their vote four years from now, so when none of Trump’s promises that they wanted so badly have worked out, we can call them stupid AGAIN.
So this! I wanted to scream at the television when I heard Paul Ryan telling us that we needed to come together in support of the president. Like all of the Republicans did when Obama was
elected??
Hell no. I will not support this administration.
That’s exactly how I feel. I plan to give Trump as much support as Republicans gave President Obama for the last eight years. And I’ll apologize for thinking Trump voters are stupid and racist as soon as Trump apologizes for all the vile things he said over the campaign. If it’s ok for him to be a straight shooter who tells it like is, it’s OK for me too.
I know, right? So I am supposed to come together for a VP who would rather my LGBT people be tortured straight than actually accept themselves?
Nah. If my LGBT siblings and I are going to have our rights taken away, then the least I am going to do is call them stupid.
Right?!
They went low, we went high.
Well, looks like LOW won. Low it is.
@Brittney B, exactly. Going high really backfired so we’re going to have to try a different approach.
Obamacare: I have a coworker who is a Hispanic Christian Republican. She was totally oppose against Obamacare but the minute it was passed, she was the first one using it to cover her kids who were in their early 20’s at that time. What a hypocrite!
I will not come together. He spent his whole campaign emphasizing the us vs them. Now they want us to come together so it’s easier for them? F@ck that. That’s how I feel.
I love how they’re preaching this to us as they STILL refuse to do their jobs w/r/t the Supreme Court vacancy.
Do they really not see the hypocrisy??
@Emily: cosign!
They really should have to wear scarlet “T’s on their foreheads for the next four years. Take responsibility for the shitstorm that’s going to rain down on the rest of us.
GMAFB. I will give Trump the same kind of respect he gave President Obama for the past eight years — i.e., none. And his spokeswoman had the nerve to complain on CNN last night that the left is reluctant to cooperate with Trump. She seems to conveniently forget that the minute Obama was first elected the republicans announced that the sole item on their agenda was to make him a one-term president.
I think Trump is in for a very rocky ride. I have never seen anything like the spontaneous demonstrations that erupted against him last night. Over half the country hates this guy already. And his supporters are going to freak out when they realize he isn’t going to do any of the things they want him to do — no wall, no deportations of Muslims, no bombing ISIS into the Stone Age, etc. — and that he played them like a slide trombone with empty promises he never meant to keep.
Personally, I will take great pleasure in watching him go down in flames.
Carmen, yup, ITA with all of this.
Don’t forget all of the manufacturing jobs he’s going to bring back to their white-ass neighborhoods 🙄
^Yes, when you are jobless and without insurance in four years, please tell me again how you were helping make America great.
I saw Van Jones trying to get a word in With some Trump surrogate (Corey someone?) about how now trump won so we all have to support him as president. Um…what? Republicans have been incredibly focused on doing the exact opposite of that for 8 years. Democrats cannot keep thinking they’re going to get in there and really try to make bipartisan policies work, and it’s ludicrous to assume that they would, or should!
Agree! Especially with this:
“If the only way to protect the causes I care about during what will probably be an awful four years is to call out stupidity and racism where I see it, then that’s what I will have to do.”
I haven’t stopped crying for America and the world. My husband keeps trying to encourage me saying that as Canadians, we are safe. We are not, nobody will be with him and the Reps in power. The way I see it, it is the equivalent of everyone who was not German saying, when Hitler took power, it won’t affect us. we all know how that turned out. When a candidate ran on a platform of hate and discrimination, (’cause let’s get serious, his platform is nothing but “I’m great”) you can foresee the way he will run the country. I am terrified not just for the US, but for the planet.
And if you voted for Trump or third party or didn’t vote at all, I hope you get your just desserts – there will be many.
I am hoping this turns out more like Rob Ford than Hitler. Hell Trump already has to go court, which Rob Ford also did while being mayor. And that was before the cracktastic adventures.
We have an overweight anger-prone 70-year old man who sniffs about to be subjected to intense pressures the likes of which he has never experienced. Let’s just see. Though we don’t want President Pence either. Snake in the grass.
How anyone dare refer to “corrupt Hillary” in the face of the corruption the Trump administration is about to unleash on the country is beyond my limited powers of comprehension.
@WhoAreThesePeople:
Sadly, you are not the one with limited powers of comprehension 😒
I don’t know about being safe in Canada… I’m in NB and I’m def seeing red flags.
At this point America is stupid and I’m not sure I will ever trust this country again. I’m looking at 4 years of policies that is going to be dangerous for me and others like me.
I cried yesterday. Today I’m mad. But I’m trying to turn my anger into something constructive.
I think we are in the same boat. I cried almost all he entire day yesterday. Today I’m still a little nauseous but incredibly angry. I want to start or join a citizen oversight group. I want that orange POS to know that I’m watching.
No apology necessary. I guess, the truth hurts. This is the first time in my life that I hate being an American. Even though aspects of this country were always broken, I always believed they could be fixed. This feels like a dictatorship, with no chance of working toward equality for women and minorities. Religion is going to be injected into every aspect of our government. I didn’t think anything could be worse than W. I was wrong.
What I keep saying. I’m most afraid for the elderly and sick. They won’t be able to recoup their losses from this. Gutting Social Security and Medicare is a priority for the Reps. Also, misogyny trumps racism, here (and, that’s saying a lot. Obama got voted in twice. Think about it. He has an incredibly high approval rating.). ALL women are fucked.
The Reps have 2 years to gerrymander more districts.

The truth hurts.
He shouldn’t have apologized. I agree with his statement, once clarified. I live in Ohio, a swing state, and absolutely sickened majority vote was for Trump. And that my best friend voted for him, happily! I live in one of the only blue counties from this election. It still doesn’t help with the disgust I feel as an Ohioan and an American. You voted for and support Trump = You’re an idiot. I support Taran.
Found this on FB and want to share it:
To all you Trump voters out there:
Congratulations. You allowed racism, homophobia, misogyny and stupidity to become the public face of America. Now let’s see if you have the guts to own it. You have made it okay to mock the disabled — you OWN that. You have made a president who hasn’t even read the Constitution okay, and you OWN that ignorance, too. You cannot brush that away just because it makes you sound like a nasty, hateful, thoughtless person. You bought into the nastiness, hate and stupidity and made it your own. If you voted for Trump, take responsibility for your choice, for choosing racism, hate, misogyny, and ignorance. You chose to vote that into office. Own it. It’s yours. All yours. You are responsible for it, you have made it okay. Own it. And be sure to tell your black, Latino, Muslim and LGBT friends — if you have any — why they no longer matter to you.
It’s funny how I’m hearing a lot of rhetoric about working together and supporting the new guy from the same contigency that vowed to never work with or support the current guy. Well aren’t we selective with our values when we feel it will benefit us . With all due respect to President Obama and Secretary Clinton, I am not feeling the call for unity. I’m pissed as HELL that our country has elected an ignoramus to be President. A clueless fool who has surrounded himself with white supremicists and other elites with the sole purpose of destroying the very fabric of our country. No one even bothered to look past the rhetoric to realize what this conman and his ilk have in store. The Republican Congress that was just reelected will now dismantle every social program they can starting with Obamacare, then onto to Medicaid, Social Security, Finance Reform, etc. All while increasing the military defense budget and once again cutting taxes for the wealthy. So, the elites they were protesting against are going to screw them over and the rest of us as well. Now, you tell me how that isn’t fucking stupid. I have never felt such anger and rage over an election in my life. I cannot express how it feels to realize that so many of your fellow citizens are okay with racism, homophobia, sexual assault, xenophobia, sexism. I feel gutted. And no, unlike in 2000, I’m not going to rally round the flagpole and accept this. People need to,understand that this election has very severe consequences. Please educate yourselves and research the people Drumpf has around him, who will be the true people in power. It should scare you shitless. I get it that there are working class people who are in real pain out there…communities ravaged by job loss and drugs. But Drumpf is not the answer to solving the problems. He is just more of the same elite selfishness that got us into these global wars, crashed our economy and screwed things up. YOU CANNOT HAVE MASSIVE TAX CUTS AND INCREASE DEFENSE SPENDING WITHOUT CAUSING HUGE DEFICITS. The damage that is about to be done is unreal.
It’s time we take to the streets in civil protest and let our voices be heard. No more rolling over and allowing ourselves to be screwed over. Enough is fucking enough.
So allow me the time to process my grief and anger, and don’t speak to me about unifying our divided country and give Drumpf a chance. Cause believe me, he won’t be giving any of us a chance.
Thank you. I feel so much better now getting that rant off my chest…..lol
#NotMyPresident. #let’s protestsoourvoicescan be heard.
Yes to everything you said!!
THIS THIS THIS… I’m Done being civil and whatever Else, coddling and “Humanizing” these *ssholes is how we ended here, We get to be the squeaky ass wheel, in fact Personally this year ive hit my fill, I’m done with “allies” I Don’t wanna “mend” patch up any kind of anything with people who think like this I see what we’re worth to people in this country writ large, I see the message, I want no apologies, don’t “#NotAllWhitePeople me ( seriously, ya’ll stop with the apologies and the apology eyes, the numbers don’t lie, neither does the “platform” voted into power about to legislate hate), I Don’t wanna hear it, All week is gonna be about #aSeatAtTheTable and all the duration of this year and the next will be about Organizing and Aligning myself with any and all grassroots resistance, with My Muslim/Black/LGBT/Women’s Rights/ACLU peeps and getting people involved with Voting.
Aww QQ…I’m sorry. Really I am. I’m white and I’m super angry at all the idiots I know that voted for cheeto hitler. I know you don’t want apologies. But really really not all white people are closet racists. Although I will admit to being shocked and appalled at how many people apparently are closet racists. Incredibly sad.
I fucking love you.
Like, all of you Trump voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida and North Carolina: I think you’re stupid. Trump thinks you’re stupid too. You got pulled in by the dumbest con man in America and even he can’t believe you fell for it.
Kaiser, you stated this so perfectly that it pretty much requires no additional comment. This is it on the nose.
I will only add this-assuming the democracy survives his presidency, I’m looking forward to seeing all of his mouth breathing supporters choke on their outrage that their orange messiah did little else except walk away with all their money. But hey, I guess at least they won’t have to be dealing with a woman or a black guy telling them what to do anymore.
Ok, so dropping racial slurs and mocking the disabled is fair game, but saying the most uneducated sector of the country is stupid is being too crass? Aren’t these the same people complaining about oversensitivity?
If you have a brain and at least 2 ounces of sensitivity in your body, you were angry yesterday. I’m not mad at anyone who expressed their anger. There’s nothing I detest more than xenophobic memes – but yesterday I liked every single one that was trashing Americans. Sorry guys. I know most of you actually voted Clinton. But I couldn’t be all “aw, shucks!”. Not yesterday.
Ok, a slight sticking point for me…it’s not just voters in the aforementioned states. YES the majority went for Trump but even in my beloved Virginia where Hill won, she BARELY won.
My point is, there are idiot voters in EVERY STATE, and although I hate admitting this, he had substantial support most everywhere. It sucks…but it isn’t fair to just blame the states where he won.
She won the popular vote, but couldn’t pull off the electoral. She got screwed – WE got screwed – just like with Gore in 2000.
Agreed, @frankly. But my point is, he had voters in every state…not just the ones he won. I’m still abhorred by the map of Virginia based on who went red and who went blue. We won VA, BARELY, but clearly the Democratic Party still has people to reach in the next four years in this state for one. We’ve got our work cut out for us but I’m trying to be optimistic and see this as an “opportunity.”
I actually had a conversation with a Trump supporter who said that Bill Clinton couldn’t be allowed back in the white house because of how he treated women. She could not explain why the same behavior from Drumpf was acceptable. She also didn’t seem to understand that she wasn’t voting for Bill.
I am terrified of being a woman now. I am terrified for my daughter. I am terrified for people who are black, LGBTQ, I am terrified for people who are Muslim. I am basically terrified for anyone who isn’t a white guy.
Just mosey on over to Shaun King’s Facebook page for a gander at how Day 1 in Trump nation went.
Stupid is as stupid does.
I was mansplained all day by Trump voters, and told point blank that I was overreacting to “some mean things” he said, and that no one will ever go out and do those things.
Yeah? f-/k you, it already is. Racial hatred, sexual assault and sexual harassment just got rubber stamped.
I agree. I live in good ol’ white Montana and I keep telling anyone who will listen they have more to fear from the stupid white men with guns that live next door to them than they do Islamic terrorists but they can’t see it.
I live on a farm in Alabama in a county that probably has equal parts people to livestock. We only got alcohol sales in my city last year. You can’t get much more rural. I am also a rainbow flag waving feminist who loves Jesus and believes in social justice. I’ve taught in rural areas for most of my career because I believe in education and have seen first hand what happens when you open kids’ eyes to the world around them.
I hope you stay safe and open a lot of eyes.
Thank you for this post on my boyfriend TK. (Don’t tell my husband.) He’s so beautiful-hot.
He’s right of course. This is actually such a traumatic event that one is going about their day and then you remember “we just elected Donald Trump for president, FECKKKKK!”
You own this Trumpers. You own it.
There was no need for him to apologise. People looking in from the outside like myself think Trump voters are dum-dums
Calling these people stupid is probably the least offensive thing he could have said. I got a whole list of words to call these people to be honest. I wouldn’t have apologized & I don’t think he should have either.
They are too stupid to even acknowledge that being called that is BETTER than the rest of their options.
I would rather be uninformed- and admit that – than be bigoted, hateful and cruel.
This. Either you didn’t know, you knew but were willing to turn a blind eye because you thought Trump was a solution to your economic problems (the dollar signs were in your eyes), or you knew and you liked what you saw because a vote for Trump and his VP was a vote against the people you want to be free to take rights from, marginalize, threaten, harm, or just be free to say whatever you want to about without criticism. Gullibility or naivety are the only options that don’t bring a person’s ethics into question.
He is not my president. I will never call him president even if he did get elected. To me he is just DT. I’m still with her even though she will never be our president.
My thoughts exactly!
Nasty woman for life
Drumpf forever
I hope the anti-trump movement will get traction. Twitter has been supporting all these hashtags that are against him. But, Trump supporters are well organized and they do tweet a lot. I think HRC was really weak in this aspect. She went the traditional way which is TV advertising. I don’t think her team are tech savvy enough to deal with digital advertising to create a stronger campaign digitally unlike the orange man. I am active in Twitter and have noticed the glaring difference. Obama was strong digitally, in social media but I guess he had the wide support back then of the millenials.
Very true. Obama has been very strong with his digital presence. I get White House emails and I’ve always been very impressed by what Ive seen from the Obama administration. He really knows how to connect with the people in this digital age.
I think another part of it was how orangey did go to a lot of more semi-rural places that probably felt ignored by HC’s campaign. I think a candidate has to go multi-channel, multi-demographic. Go for every vote, and keep the message simple.
Christin, so true. The less words you said the better. For example, #crookedhillary, #lockherup. Those are catchy praises against your opponent and they are new praises.
I tweeted a 4 word praise yesterday and I get 900+ likes and 500 RT’s and I am not even big in the Twitter world.
I could have worked for her and strategized for her. LOL!!!! Sometimes the inner circle doesn’t have the feel of the real world. What is out there…that is the mistake.
I wish you had been on her team!
I think her team did underestimates the power of simple but strong phrases he used, were too confident in their ground game and polls and avoided places like Appalachian coal country.
He seemed to cover more ground. I would have suggested that at some point those 18 months of campaigning, that she show up within 100 miles of most any populated place in the continental US, whether said area votes blue or red.
Why should he have to retract and apologize. his opinion? The rural and rust belts sorry but those factory jobs aren’t coming back they just aren’t.
I agree. He shouldn’t of had to apologize for calling trump voters stupid. I think if you voted for trump or a third party candidate you are stupid. Do the math. No third party would ever get elected. You gave your vote to trump. You had to vote for Hilary to beat trump. This is so embarrassing for Americans. Fucking trump “pussy grabing apprentice star” is the president. Like actually the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Even though I am an American citizen, I am so grateful that I live in toronto right now. Sooooo of thankful.
I don’t know why anyone gets upset about what am idiot actor/ celebrity etc says.
They are just people. He has a right to his opinion.
Why apologize , it’s the truth .
Maybe whatever agency hes with or the company for whatever he may be promoting at the moment told him to apologize.
His only problem was phrasology.
should have said…………….
All trump voters = STUPID.
The rural comment, sure. But the Trump supporter comment? No apologies are owed for that comment. The truth hurts. My sympathy for the TRUMP TRASH within this country is in the negative numbers right now. It’s both infuriating and ironic how some of the same Trump supporters (and their apologists) who are always complaining about too much ‘political correctness’ want to play the victim now, try to tone-police, silence, and #NotAllTrumpSupporters the people who are going to be screwed over the most by this new presidency, and whine about impartiality and politeness. All Trump supporters/apologists can go fuck themselves. You do not get to tell women, people of color, immigrants or their descendents, gay, bisexual, or transgender people, or any other Americans who have to worry about themselves or loved ones who are most likely to be put in danger by this new political regime that they have to ‘play nice’ and ‘be polite and impartial’ about people who view them as less than and want to take their rights away being given more political power. As long as we have the right to be critical of and judge the words and actions of our political leaders, we also have the right to do the same to people who enabled them by giving them the power in the first place. Deal with it.
The thought that anyone would call my husband – who is a fiscal conservative and an aerospace engineer – stupid purely based on the fact that he voted for Trump, makes me literally laugh out loud!
You’re entitled to your LOLs, but it’s surprising that your husband who is very educated would support someone who is very counter to rational thinking.
One can be well educated and hopeless at voting for the best candidate. How does hubby feel about puss@y grabbing?
incredible .when are liberals going to learn.
This is such an ignorant tweet – and I’m not for Trump in the least! You don’t help your cause when you stoop to base name-calling and insults.
But he’s correct.
