18. Nope. No "soul searching" here either. That's just stupid.

WE are not the ones who voted for a hateful moron. WE did the right thing. The good, descent and righteous thing. WE are showing righteous indignation because the great unwashed apparently can't figure out this voting thing and once again fucked themselves. We tried to show them the way, but they're too fucking stupid and hateful to see it.

I was also raised by working class parents and learned working class stuff from my dad. Lots of "You need to know how this works" conversations as a teen. I still do working class stuff on my car and our house. And if you don't believe me, I'll introduce you to my nail gun by putting a 16d in your fucking forehead. And enjoy the run to the emergency room with snipped brake lines, mother fuckers! Yes, I know exactly where they are and I've got a heavy duty pair of wire cutters ready and waiting.
