Oh brother, she went from “I pity Trump supporters because they’re just too stupid to understand why he’s a bad man” to full-on “they’re sad, racist and stupid, and there’s just no helping them”. She just can’t help but look down on the tens of millions of people who plan to vote for him for a variety of reasons. The constant elitism coming from the left isn’t doing them any favors.
I was a republican until I moved from the Midwest to the south.
They’re completely underselling it, the south fought a war against America to keep humans as pets, then after they lost just kept doing it anyway.
Hitler wrote about Jim Crow in Mein Kampf as an example for Germany to follow. Black GIs came home from fighting fascism to be lynched for being uppity, and they still worship their heritage of brutal genocide with nostalgia.
The only thing the south ever, EVER cared about was that at least they were better than black people, they were hardcore socialists Ala Huey Long till LBJ passed civil rights, then they immediately switched to the GOP who welcomed them with open hoods.
Please don’t talk about things you haven’t experienced first hand, you people have just had the luxury of ignoring them until now.
Can you blame the left? The dance of interfacing with Conservative rhetoric means constantly having to change up tactics under the assumption that the person doesn’t understand because the alternatives to that are that they either refuse to understand because they are selfish and want to be comfortable at the expense of other people’s safety… or because they do understand but they are creating scapegoats and targets for the deliberate harm of others because doing so gives them kickbacks or because they think those people are deserving of harm.
Believing they are being tricked or haven’t actually thought things through at least gives one the comfortable idea that one’s fellow man is not evil or indifferent to evil as long as they benefit. Right wingers think leftists are elitist and leftists hope that right wingers are dumb because being dumb is still better than being actually cruel.
This is it, I think. The response that the right must be misunderstood or stupid is a way to avoid accepting the fact that there are evil people in this world.
To quote one of my favorite books: “I look down on you, because that is where you are located.” Maybe if republicans stopped being sad, racist, and stupid, we’d stop thinking that they are. Have some personal responsibility. I don’t think it counts as “elitism” to suggest that freedom or equality should be respected.

Let me guess: Winnie-the-Pooh?
A Bear Called Paddington?
Definitely sounds like something a bear would say.
Because there are no good reasons. Only stupid and/or hateful ones.
It’s an explanation of Wilhoit’s Law, really, which will always resonate with misanthropes.
