POST-2016 ELECTION COMMENTARY DOCUMENTATION

Posted on social media on the morning of November 9, 2016:


Well, Democrats... It's your fault. You mistook your entitlement for enlightenment, your smugness for saintliness, drove working class people away, and fumbled and stumbled and bottled it against fucking Donald Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Trump. Democrats, you can ditch the party and start right now in building for a proper people's movement, or you can wait until 2020 when the DNC's answer to four years of Trump's America is fucking Martin O'Malley or Terry McAualiffe.

So no, I'm not going to blame the rural Americans, southerners, or poor and white working class people that you look down on and belittle behind closed doors until you want their votes at election time. You elitist swine! I blame the Democrats. You mock Trump supporters for being coaxed by fear, and yet you lost your fucking asses on fear. You build your politics on cowardice, and that's why you fail to properly galvanize the masses. Your whole reason for supporting Hillary was that she wasn't Boogeyman Trump.

Hillary is a neoliberal warhawk who oversaw genocide in Libya.”
DO YOU WANT TRUMP TO WIN?!”

When Bernie Sanders fell to a rigged primary, you alienated his supporters and told them they owed you a vote. You had a chance to ride into the White House with as proper of a progressive movement as you can get with the Democratic Party. Instead, you shit your pants and went with the fucking New York Yankees of politics when there was great anger against the establishment. Your establishment politician vs. their alternative. “Progressives.” L-O-fucking-L.

And if this post feels aggressive and accusatory, and looks like I'm pointing fingers and kicking off, then guess what? I am. I'm fucking mad. You should be mad too. You should be as mad as me because this is absolutely fucking ridiculous. No competent political party should lose to a failed reality TV star who lost money with a casino and has all that baggage. Is that what you want to get behind? THAT fucking party? Smash it. It's failed. Time to build a grassroots movement.

Posted a few days later in response to those critical of the anti-Trump/anti-fascist protests:

 The protesters are not "butt hurt" because Hillary lost, and it even goes beyond Trump. This is something that has built up for years, and a lot of the sentiment boiled under Obama. It's just that some of those people are less likely to march on the streets when a Democrat is in office. This is basically the '70s and Nixon all over again. It's action in the streets that will put a spotlight on those in charge. Those who make dismissive comments are the ones who are truly ignorant and childish. History has proven that.

Protesters took to the streets to advance civil rights, women's rights, fair workplace practices, anti-Vietnam War sentiment, and even the founding of this country. None of that would have progressed if all they did was find a park, or eat shit and smile like so many advocate in this country. There was opposition from people who even agreed with them at the time, and history looks at them as ineffectual.

If you want to complain about them blocking streets; then tell me, since you're disingenuously concerned about things like ambulances (operated by drivers you never support in labor disputes and provide emergency services to people whose health care some of you wish to cut. “Thanks for being fodder against a movement I'll never agree with, but fuck your lives!”); what means of protest will make you feel safe so you don't piss in your fucking Barney boxers? Should they find a nice little park to assemble at and be conveniently ignored?

If you say they shouldn't protest, then you're part of the problem. There's nothing wrong with using protest to open a discussion when people are complacent or won't listen. If people weren't complacent and actually listened to each other in the first place, then there wouldn't be protests.
