There's this idea that people voted for Trump because they are hurting.

I just have to say, if you voted for Trump, I hope you are hurting. You deserve to be. I hope you're suffering in unimaginable ways. I'd hate to think you inflicted this moron on everyone else just for craps and giggles.

Odd, but "hurting" is the opposite of my experience for the last 35 months...sans the occasional ear bleed from the neverending liberal shriek. Literally almost every aspect of life has improved since Nov 2016. And not just personal gains either...multiple wars have been ended, better policies, deregulation, etc.

And the added bonus of moronic posts like yours being brought to life is entertaining. Literally, honestly, and actually - your own life has improved...in spite of your your self imposed suffering over the orange man's tweets.

FIFY. You’re welcome.

Since Trump’s election, nearly every metric improvement rate has worsened, though. What a shame.

So what you're saying is that people are damned stupid.

Well no crap. Thanks for that insight.

Especially the average IQ of the Republican base, given that smart people are leaving it.

I think armed with this image alone you could prove to somebody the existence of objective metaphysical evil.

If that somebody were a credulous rube, sure.

Set aside the misrepresentation of drag queen story hour via extreme anecdotes for a second.

Being upset with liberal sexual values is indeed part of why conservatives backed Hitler's rise to power. That's 100% true. The lesson Smokey types want you to take away from this is better not embrace liberal sexual values, lest conservatives back another Hitler. It's akin to those who reacted to 9/11 by saying Muslim fundamentalists have a point and America should avoid future attacks by capitulating to the mores of fundamentalist Islam.

It's a bad lesson. The real lesson is to oppose conservative extremists that would be willing to back a Hitler if he promised to crush what frightens and offends them.
