Fuck It All.
The American Experiment is Over.
There is no upside.
Fuck the Democratic Party
What kind of a loser party forwards a candidate that can’t beat Donald Trump? I’ll tell you what kind: the Democratic Party. Through a combination of hubris, insider trading, and general ineptitude the Democrats have proven they need to wipe the slate clean and start over. Seriously.
The DNC decided long ago that Hillary Clinton was their candidate, and to hell with reality. The party started their accelerating decline a while ago, but this nominating process was their death knell.
The DNC National chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, used her position to tip the race toward Hillary. Outed by WikiLeaks, she had to resign. And where did she run? Straight to Hillary. Without even a nod to shame, Wasserman-Schultz left the DNC and went right next door, joining Hillary’s campaign as an honorary chair.
Exit one shill and enter another -- Donna Brazile took over the DNC chair position from Wasserman-Schultz. Once she became DNC chair, Brazile took a leave from CNN, a job she had to formally resign from after WikiLeaks revealed she shared questions for CNN Democratic candidate events in advance with Hillary’s campaign.
Any political party unable to field a candidate that can beat Donald-Fucking-Trump doesn’t deserve to be a political party anymore.
Fuck the Media
Seriously. Fuck them. Fuck the media for their endless focus on Trump, elevating a sideshow clown into an actual contender. Fuck the media for realizing their mistake too late and engaging in a pious and elitist attempt to ‘bring him down’ that only fed into his they-are-all-against-me strategy. Fuck the media for engaging in VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL negative coverage of both candidates, as if they were equal. Fuck the media for letting clearly biased pundits – even people actually being paid by the campaigns – to act as political commentators (I mean you Corey Lewandowski). Fuck the media for treating bullshit like it was worthy of discussion, for giving ‘equal’ time to lies, and for becoming cheerleaders for one side or another.
Fuck the Uneducated
If there’s one thing this election proved, it’s that America’s educational system sucks. The more educated you are, the less likely you voted for Trump. Period. Education, even more than income, determined where your vote would go. This is one statistic the polls got right. Even before votes were cast, and while everyone seemed to think Hillary would win, the Wall Street Journal to the New York Times were noticing the way educational attainment skewed support. And it played out. In 48 of the country’s 50 most-well-educated counties. Hillary improved on President Obama’s 2012 performance. In 47 of the 50 counties in the U.S. where the smallest share of the population has college degrees, Hillary did worse. We either pay for an educational system that actually educated up front, or we pay the price later.
Fuck This Loss
Hillary isn’t well liked by large swaths of the population. Is that fair? No. But it’s a fact. Serious progressives didn’t favor her in 2008 and they didn’t favor her now. Conservatives go apoplectic at the mention of her name. Bernie is the most popular Senator and has a high national favorability rating. Would Bernie have beaten Trump? Who knows. BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER LOSS. Here’s why: Bernie supporters had passion. They were young, they were inspired, and they were driven to action. A Bernie loss would have left a nation of next-generation activists. This loss leaves nothing but a bitter taste. A Bernie loss would have been a battle loss in a bigger winnable war. This loss is a game changer in all the wrong directions.
Fuck Non-Voters
Fuck the almost 50% of you that didn’t vote. Seriously fuck you and don’t complain about anything for the next four years. This time around we had the lowest turnout since 2000 — and a lower turnout than in 2012, 2008, and 2004. You people voted by not voting and you were the biggest voting bloc of all. If “non voter” could have won, it would have been victorious in most states. And it mattered. It mattered in Wisconsin. Fuck you non-voters in Wisconsin. And in Michigan. Even worse, some people who showed up to vote left their presidential choice blank. So you made it to the polls but you couldn’t find it in you to block a mentally ill buffoon from assuming high office? Fuck you.
Fuck the Post-Election Protestors
Too little, too late.
Fuck Third Party Candidates
You self-righteous idiots. Was this really the time to vote for a third party candidate with no chance of winning? Maybe it was, if there had been a third party candidate worth a damn. But between Mr. What’s-Aleppo-Who’s-in-charge-of-North-Korea-I-can’t-name-a-single-foreign-leader-I-admire and Ms. Town-meeting-corporate-interest-questionable-science the choice was clear. Neither. Sure we need another viable party to challenge the Dems and the Reds, but this wasn’t the election and these weren’t the candidates. You may have cost us Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Shame on you for sidestepping your responsibility to take down Trump in favor of your ‘protest vote.’ And fuck you.
Fuck Republicans
What has happened to the party of Lincoln? The party of personal responsibility? The party of fiscal conservatism? The party with a backbone? Because a majority of you look like shameless cowards, cow-towing to a man you clearly despise, who hi-jacked your party and made you all his bitch. Fuck you Ted Cruz, a man who had a spine for about five minutes, but lost it when he decided to endorse the man who called his wife ugly and his father a co-conspirator. Fuck you Paul Ryan, who endorsed a man you acknowledged is a racist. Fuck you Reince Priebus, Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorino. Among many many others. And fuck you to the Republicans who ‘stayed silent,’ like both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. There is no abstention from morality gentlemen. Shame on you both.
Fuck the Molotov Cocktail Bernie Supporters
You are the ones who were so devastated your guy wasn’t the nominee you stayed home. Or you voted for a third party. Some of you even voted for Trump. I personally know two Bernie supporters who voted for Trump. In surveys before Election Day, up to 12% of Bernie supporters said they would support Trump. Because when you go to the bakery, and they’re out of cake, instead of getting a cookie you opt for a pound of ground glass, right?
Fuck Trumplicans
You are the worst. You actually supported this man. And now may God have mercy on us all.
