Stop apologizing and say it to a Deplorable's face: "I AM BETTER THAN YOU." [View all]

The new talking-point from the right-wing is that the left needs to come to their senses and stop attacking Republicans. "Let's all come together." On right-wing media, in interviews, Democrats have been repeatedly pressed and acosted to apologize for their attacks on Trump, because him being elected President somehow magically invalidates all the facts surrounding his person.

Democrats have always been stuck between a rock and a hard place:
Democrats are NOT ALLOWED to call out bad things, to speak truth, to argue with passion for what they deem right, because that would only enforce the stereotype of elitist Democrats arrogantly berating the common people.

Well, fuck that.

Next time you get into a political argument with a Deplorable, say it to his face: "I AM BETTER THAN YOU!"



"I judge people by their character. I think rape, sexual assault and theft are wrong and a rapist and thief has no business being in charge of a country. You don't judge people by their character and you don't care about rape, sexual assault and theft. I AM BETTER THAN YOU!"

"I judge economic policies by their cold hard real-word-numbers, not by their vibes like you do. I AM BETTER THAN YOU."

"I judge immigration policies by their real-life human suffering, by their practical feasibility and by their economic impact. You don't. I AM BETTER THAN YOU."

"I dencounce Nazis, Fascists, their calls to violence and their terrorist attacks against our country and our society. You don't. I AM BETTER THAN YOU."

"I think that the goal of US foreign-policy should be to increase the power and leverage of the US on the international scene and that backstabbing and betraying our friends and allies is bad policy. You think that backstabbing and betraying our friends and allies is good policy. I AM BETTER THAN YOU."

"I refuse to put our country's economic well-being into the hands of oligarchs who take a shit in literal golden toilets. I think that the economy should work for us for We The People. I refuse to fall for cheap publicity-stunts when an oligarch puts on an apron for 15 minutes. I refuse to fall for empty promises from the same people who got rich by taking money out of the working man's pocket. You don't mind all of these things. I AM BETTER THAN YOU."

"I think that this country needs to return to the spirit of Jesus Christ and to denounce false prophets, their grotesque and sinful debauchery, their hatred and violence, their obsession with money, their willfully ignorant cults and their literal golden idols. You follow a man who stands in opposition to every single thing Jesus Christ ever preached. I AM BETTER THAN YOU."
