We have reached Gladwell’s tipping point. But only one side displays hate as a constant theme. A battle of good and evil is upon us all.
I drove through a big chunk of rural Pennsylvania last week. I did not see the same number of Trump signs as previous elections. I think his typical voters are a bit tired of him and if this persists, the election is not going to be as close as the past. It is the only way to be rid of him, so I hope it happens.
His supporters have always been here, but couldn't be motivated by candidates like McCain or Romney. Trump's superpower is that he has absolutely no shame - when called out on a lie he doubles down, triples down, then blames the media. Maybe somebody like Vance can carry on that legacy in a post-Trump world but it's just as likely that the GOP implodes in the resulting vacuum.

Anonymous wrote:I’ll preface this by stating the obvious truth: I hate trump, yes, of course. Who doesn’t? But at the end of the day, trump is just an irrelevance. A loudmouth buffoon who will soon be humiliated at the polls again, and then spend what may be the rest of his life in a New York state prison as a 34 count convicted felon facing possibly 14 decades at sentencing, if he doesn’t flee the country first - which I suspect he will. Either way, he’s soon to be gone and won’t be our problem anymore.
But the 50-odd million people who will probably still vote for him this November aren’t going anywhere. And those are the people I really, truly, viscerally despise. Because they gave trump his power. Without these imbeciles, trump would be nothing. He’d literally have the same influence as a crazy screaming homeless man shouting at no one in a city park. That’s what trump would be without the millions of supporters who give him his power. These are the the people I hate. Not trump. trump is just a symptom. His supporters, his sycophants - they are real problem. The disease.
It really made me sad when I came to this realization today, because until now, I assumed that things were going to be awesome after the election and we’d never have to suffer his buffoonery again. But then I realized his supporters aren’t going anywhere. They’re still going to be around regardless of whatever happens to him. And that infuriated me.
I just don’t know how to get past this. I’m just consumed with anger at the realization that probably should’ve occurred to me earlier, but didn’t. I was so consumed with hating trump that I wasn’t able to see who I truly should’ve been hating even more. And now realizing that these people will still be around after he goes away, it just ruins everything.
Very upset tonight. Can barely contain my rage.
