@kdfrawg …I pretty much knew it would end this way the moment Hillary Clinton made her "Deplorables" comment and people started wearing it like a badge of honor on social media. That and how the media beat Mark Halpirn down when he kept saying, "Guys, hold up. He has a clear path to actually win this".
Hubris and arrogance.
And they are DOUBLING DOWN on the behavior even now.
@kdfrawg I could only put it in course terms. This was not an election. This was a "Fuck You". Plain and simple. So many people patronized, silenced and ridiculed. Called racists, sexists, etc. The media telling them they were rubes. Hollywood telling them the same.
First populist that comes along and opens the wagon, they're going to hop right on.
And they are STILL doing it. Every insult. Every epitaph. It only strengthens Trump and makes it worse.
The world has indeed gone mad.
@kdfrawg He nails it. Language is a bit coarse (and I should have put a disclaimer on that in hindsight) but it's absolutely spot on.
I have no earthly clue who this man is but he's absolutely correct and I am now a fan.

Trying desperately not to get involved in a debate between two friends regarding economics. Particularly the glowing comments about Reganomics.
Silence is the better part of valor.
@phoneboy …It was bad enough that I though it was legit spam so I looked at the headers. It is indeed legitimate PayPal email.
And it is annoying enough that I've had to plop in a "Go directly to jail" rule.
@phoneboy The weird thing is I have had a PayPal account since PayPal was a "new thing". Only recently have they bombarded me with emails. Daily. One after another.
Had to scrape frost from windshield. Car engaged the heater all the way into the office.
bleh.
