83. The electorate is just so ignorant and filled with hatred

Mon Dec 12, 2016, 11:04 PM

Dec 2016

I've talked with 3 Trump voters this weekend

Ignorant #1 very pleased with the election. It's more about denying
specific groups their health care and supporting AG Sessions. This one
can't vote in his own self-interest because he doesn't know what that is.

Ignorant #2 Harry Reid didn't support nuclear power, it's all about
resurrecting the 1950s - whatever that means to him

Ignorant #3 Investigations of treason or espionage won't matter because
Chuck Schumer doesn't have the 'piss-ass' possibility of having the votes
to start an investigation. I'm not sure he understands a bit about the way
provocative espionage by a hostile foreign power might play in Washington.
Say what you will, this issue is DEEPLY ingrained for anyone who has heard
of the McCarthy hearings, the Red Scare - but not this Trump voter whom
I would classify as wrapped up in his own hatred with fixed positions and
very self-congratulatory about the election outcome.
