They said they wanted a revolution, and today seeing reports of the raw hatred, and yes that is all that you really can call it, at the convention, it looks like they are going to have their revolution after all. Boo, chant, burn it all down. Even Sanders himself, who sowed the wind with glee, is now reaping the whirlwind he cannot control.
They either seriously think Trump is less of a danger, or just don’t give a fuck about the rest of us. It is no secret that this set is whiter and more male than the party in general and they think that they would come out ahead in this lovely little revolution.
This makes me chuckle.
I remember a great passage from John Scalzi a few years back that I would like to adapt:
I really don’t know what you do about the Bernie or Bust crowd, except possibly enter a gambling pool regarding just how long after their revolution comes true that their generally white, generally entitled, generally soft and pudgy asses are turned into thin strips of Socialist Jerky by the sort of pitiless sociopath who is actually prepped and ready to live in the world that logically follows these people’s fondest desires. Sorry, guys. I know you all thought you were going to be one of those breaking up the big banks. That’ll be a fine last thought for you as the starving remnants of the society closes in with their flensing tools.
Be careful what you wish for. Trumps goons are MUCH better prepared for this revolution than you are. Perhaps, just perhaps, we can work together to stop that. We are ready whenever you are.
Just saying.
