In just six short months, it's become absolutely clear:
Everyone who
didn't vote for Donald Trump was right and everyone who voted for him
was wrong. Yeah, yeah, they weren't wrong in that Trump won the
election, just as someone isn't wrong for supporting a shitty baseball
team. But
it's incredibly clear now that the poor suckers and greedy
fuckers who wanted to nuzzle up to Trump's man-teats for a suckle were
wrong on just about every account regarding who he is and what he'd do.
They were wrong that he's a man of his word, they were wrong that he
would look out for working people, they were wrong that he would make
the nation respected "again" (as if it wasn't before), they were wrong
that he wouldn't have scandals, and they were just wrong about him being
a human being worthy of the office. They were wrong and we who voted
against him (and I'm tossing anyone who voted for Hillary Clinton, Jill
Stein, Gary Johnson, and Deez Nutz into the category of "voted against
him") were right.
Trump voters fucked
the goat,
and so everything they say should be framed within the fact that they
are goatfuckers. "Oh, you have an opinion on health care? Sorry, you
fucked a goat. I don't give a shit about your goat-fucking opinion," we
should think. But that's not what we do. We don't shun the goatfuckers,
no matter how savagely they fucked that goat. We see that most clearly
by the fact that the news networks and other media outlets still
entertain the opinions of people who supported the Iraq war and never
said they were wrong about it. Goatfuckers get away with it.
So we're treated on an almost daily basis to articles and stories about
Trump voters and what they think about some issue and whether or not
Trump's evil, batshit incompetence is enough for them to bail on the
Orange King. Every single one of these stories is the same: Here are
some assholes who voted for Trump. Let's treat them with reverence, as
if they have hard-won wisdom because they shovel shit or work at
Wal-Mart. Let's tell them about all the fuckery that Donald Trump has
been up to and see what they think. Oh, look, they don't give a shit
because he still hates the Mooslems and Messicans. And what might change
their minds about Trumpochet? "I don’t know what he would have to
do...I guess maybe kill someone. Just in cold blood."
That's an actual quote from an actual person in a
Tennesseean article
on Wayne County, Tennessee, an almost entirely white rural area with
less people than my neighborhood. The thrust of the piece is that Trump
voters couldn't give a happy monkey fuck about the Russia scandal. In
fact, they think Trump is being maligned and Don Jr. is awesome. This
is the newest wrinkle in the genre: What do stupid people think about
something they don't understand at all? In the last week,
Vox has done a
story on Michigan Trump voters, who don't think the Russian connections are any big deal. The BBC sent a
reporter
to the Nebraska State Fair to get some American color (yes, ironic, I
know) and some video of deluded shit heels sharing their delusions.
As
Newsweek's Alexander Nazaryn
wrote,
"
The real story here is how thoroughly Trump supporters have been
deceived, both by Trump and tireless boot-lickers like Hannity and
Jones. Every quote from an Ohioan who declares the Russia investigation
is irrelevant is a testament to the delusive brand of Republicanism that
now reigns supreme." Joshua Green
said much the same in the
New York Times.
Each of the Trump voter pieces generally has a token interview with
someone who doesn't support Trump. But they are presented as
curiosities, the two-headed cow that shouldn't exist but somehow does.
But the reality is, obviously,
people who think Trump is full of shit
vastly outnumber the aforementioned suckers and fuckers who stand by
their man. How about interviewing some of us? How about asking us, "How
did you know?" And we can say, "Anyone with a fuckin' brain knew." Ask
us, "What do you think about the Russia dealie?" And we can say, "Either
we do something about it or we're fucked."
Hell, you don't even have to stick to the cities, where the majority of
the country lives. Since you've got a rural jones, you can head to
Bolivar, Tennessee, a town in the ass-crack of nowhere, near to the
Alabama border, as Deep South as you can get. They
went
for Hillary Clinton, as did nearby Whiteville. Of course, those are
majority African American towns, so you'd have to change the whole
goddamned narrative away from the mighty white working class.
Or, here's an idea, why not go to the communities that went for Trump
and find the people who didn't. Talk to them. See if they're feeling
smug or sad or angry. See what their ideas are for getting us out of
this or through this goddamn bullshit time. Find out how they're feeling
about Trump's relationship with Russia. Ask them because they, like the
majority of the country, were right.
Let's spend a little time and energy, dear, sweet reporters, on people who aren't barking mad or madly barking.
(Note: If you didn't vote at all, go suck a donkey's dick.)
(Note: If you wanna write to me about "goatfucker shaming," I hate you
already. Same for "donkey-dick sucker shaming." Some things are just
fucking shameful. Sucking a donkey's dick, fucking a goat, and voting
for Donald Trump, for examples.)
