My oh my what a bitchy little screed we have here:

Trump’s voters get him because not only is he we, but we are he. We were not snowflaked-for-life by effete professors who themselves never had negotiated tough life-or-death serious deals. Instead we live in the real world, and we know how that works. Not based on social science theories, not based on “conceptual negotiating models.” But based on the people we have met over life and always will hate. That worst boss we ever had. The coworker who tried to sabotage us. We know the sons of bums whom we survived, the dastardly types who are out there, and we learned from those experiences how to deal with them. We won’t have John Kerry soothe us by having James Taylor sing “You’ve Got a Friend” carols.

Middle school angst doesn't change reality. Trump is an inept fool.

And yet they don't want us calling them nazis.

Good lord, who the fuck let this author near a keyboard. A post-stroke badger could write better prose.

The author of this article is like trump himself. Bragging about Trump's wealth.

All it took was to be the son of a billionaire. If only I had thought of that.

It's nice to see them coming to terms with their own stupidity. The counties Trump won only generated 36 percent of our GDP.

Smart enough to spot a fake billionaire from a real one.
