(53,447 posts)There's nothing we can do about it now. There's no reason whatsoever to "try to reach them," or to "try to see where they're coming from." Because we're fucked. It doesn't matter if we reach them. It doesn't matter if we understand them. We'll still be fucked.
So let me say I'm not trying to be snarky. I have no animosity towards those who feel as you do.
But here are my feelings:
If someone has voted for trump because they think Democrats look down on trump supporters, then ABSOLUTELY, YES. UNEQUIVOCALLY. I LOOK DOWN ON THAT PERSON. Can't help it. They're morons. You know it, I know it, I'm not going to pretend it isn't true simply because they whine a lot.
It has nothing to do with rural or urban. It has only to do with who they voted for.
They voted for someone who is going to fuck up their lives, and mine along with them, possibly forever, because they believe people they have never met are looking down on them.
They think this because other people they never met told them it was true. And they chose to believe it. And then - because somehow they forgot to grow the fuck up - they chose to care about it.
How mind-numbingly stupid would one need to be to do such a thing?
Pretty damn stupid. So do I look down on them? Yes. Absolutely. Because they're idiots.
But guess what? None of this matters. Your feelings, my feelings, their feelings. None of it. Because we're fucked. They saw to that.
And PS: It WAS about racism and sexism.
