On CNN last night, Trump said, "I think Islam hates us. There is something -- there is something there that is a tremendous hatred there. There's a tremendous hatred. We have to get to the bottom of it. There's an unbelievable hatred of us." To many people, many working class people, that is an appalling and ignorant statement. And if you're someone for whom that is not an appalling and ignorant statement, then you are appalling and ignorant. And you should be treated as such. Just because you happen to agree on some economic issues with the left doesn't absolve you of your fucking backwards-ass racism and overwrought fear. It sure as fuck doesn't mean that blame for that fear and anger falls on liberals. It fucking falls on the cocksuckers who shoved that shit into the brains of the willingly dumb and overtly racist Americans who drool over the rich dude who promises them he alone is the way, the path, the light. They would elect him dictator, if they could. That's what they want.
So fuck Trump's voters. They deserve all the economic support that liberals, real liberals, can get for the entire working class. But this blogger will take them seriously only as much as they are a threat (and beware what happens when Trump loses in the general). And he will disdain the shit out of their nation-harming utter stupidity.

A threat to the Republic, and get rid of voting until the threat is gone?

(24,692 posts)2. The right wants a 'strict father'. "In the strict father family, father knows best. He knows right
... from wrong and has the ultimate authority to make sure his children and his spouse do what he says, which is taken to be what is right. Many conservative spouses accept this worldview, uphold the fathers authority, and are strict in those realms of family life that they are in charge of. When his children disobey, it is his moral duty to punish them painfully enough so that, to avoid punishment, they will obey him (do what is right) and not just do what feels good."
The strict father logic extends further. The basic idea is that authority is justified by morality (the strict father version), and that, in a well-ordered world, there should be (and traditionally has been) a moral hierarchy in which those who have traditionally dominated should dominate. The hierarchy is: God above Man, Man above Nature, The Disciplined (Strong) above the Undisciplined (Weak), The Rich above the Poor, Employers above Employees, Adults above Children, Western culture above other cultures, Our Country above other countries. The hierarchy extends to: Men above women, Whites above Non-whites, Christians above non-Christians, Straights above Gays.
