STANDARD INTRO: Some folks expressed interest in my new little hobby of making Facebook posts designed to upset Trump voters. I don't think I have too many Trump voters in my friends list, but I noticed that my posts were getting lots of likes and a few shares. I try to select news stories that are not in dispute, but that don't really comport with what Trump claimed on the campaign trail.
Today's Facebook post has to do with the trial balloon out of the Trump transition team that he's considering naming Gen. Petraeus as his Secretary of State:

The gist of my Facebook post is that while "Lock her up" chanting was a thing at Trump rallies, here's their hero openly considering a Secretary of State candidate who copped a plea for actually doing what they think Hillary Clinton did.
The most outrageous aspect to this story will be the lack of outrage from Trump's supporters. If the mere rumor of compromising classified material was enough for Trump voters to want to lock up Hillary Clinton, is Petraeus' actual passing of classified documents to his mistress sufficient cause for those voters to climb off the Trump Train? If not, why not?

I did have some great fun with a former high school classmate who turned out to have some strong fascist tendencies. Fascists are generally thin skinned and don't have a great sense of humor which makes needling them so much more fun!
