Remember, Bob, to respect those who hold wrong opinions. Respect, for the
individual not their opinion, and keep a sense of humor. That combination will
gain you many an enemy. Next time you meet a Trumpster, and the woods abound
with them, swinging out of their trees, just say to them, "Sir(or Madam as the
case may be), I have total respect for you, but did you know that you drool
when you talk, just like the rest of the Neanderthals?"
Oh, what a jolly laugh the two of you will have.
Seriously though, you might as well speak bluntly to the Trumpsters.
They won't understand you whether you try to be subtle or direct, so you might
as well save your breath and speak your mind quickly.

Hi carl,
I guess I really have become an arrogant liberal, but I am still
convinced that not enough Americans did their homework this time
around and I'll point the finger especially at those who supported
Hillary from the beginning of this wretched campaign.
I'm with you all the way as to how the leadership of both parties have
created the mess we're in and don't give two flips about the lives of
the average American.
I will concede that the word stupid was a bit too strong, but remember
I wrote that message in anger which , fortunately, has now transformed
into resolve.
That is, the resolve not to accept any status quo crap from either
side of the aisle. There have been times in the past when colleagues
of mine have chided me for being too brash in expressing my views.
Believe it or not, I think I learned something from The Donald. I have
learned that it's not a bad thing to express ones views in what are
sometimes direct and harsh terms. WE need progressives to express our
views in the same manner that is often used by Trump. The difference
is that we will be fighting for the rights of the disenfranchised no
matter how many of the privileged we happen to offend. That means that
terms like greedy bastards ought to be an appropriate way to refer to
banksters and other assorted fuckers of finance.
IT means that socialism should not be considered a dirty word in the
face of massive income inequality. It also means when the
right-wingers talk about repealing the AHCA, it is highly appropriate
to say something like, when you do that, will you toss people off of
the insurance roles with the only options being go without or pay
higher premiums for inferior coverage? In the past, when I have spoken
in this manner in the presence of powerful folks, my colleagues have
usually told me that the powerful folks had funny looks on their faces
and that I had been very rude to then. To me,the lesson of Trump tells
me to keep right on being rude, especially when I'm shining the light
upon injustice and showing the powerful people the consequences of
their actions or inactions. The lesson of Trump tells me to keep right
on afflicting the comfortable for the benefit of those who are too afraid or
intimidated to speak up for themselves.

Bob and All,
Nothing has changed! We were handed two candidates to select between.
In fact, we had only one choice. Would Clinton have made things
easier for the Working Class? Perhaps a wee bit...at first. But in
the long haul, she was and still is owned by the Puppet Master. And so is
Donald Trump owned.
If you listen carefully, you might hear the cackling sound of their
happy voices as they prepare to ramshackle and plunder to their greedy
hearts content.
And yet, I take exception to the use of the word, "stupid", in
referring to our fellow Americans. Brainwashed I could accept. God
knows I spent much of my growing up in a struggle with the Establishment's
conditioning.
We are not Stupid. What we are, is Used. We are no longer
citizens...if we ever were. We are at best, Consumers. We are the
raw resource put on Earth to be used by the truly Blessed...the super
rich...the corporate giants...the Corporate First Class Citizens.
Remember, we, the working class, the backbone of this nation, were
lied to from the very beginning. We were taught to believe that this
great and free nation belonged to us...we, the people. Have we
forgotten that this nation was made for the White Male; the Land Owner; those
over 21 years of age.
Indians, Slaves, and even those poor souls who came later in the
belief that this was a Land that would embrace them, none of them were
wanted except for what they might give in goods and labor to the Land
Lords. We were sold on the idea that we lived in a Republic and ruled
at the local level as a democracy. In fact, this nation, at best, is
an Oligarchy. Those who rule us are afraid of us. The government was
established very carefully to protect those who were in control.
Even so, despite all of the safeguards, the working class managed to
wrestle away some gains that made their lives a bit easier. But we
have never achieved the level of comfort that we slave to provide for
our Masters. We have been conditioned...brain washed...to imitate
them, to want to emulate them, to worship them, to lust after the
luxuries our sweat has created for them. Over and over we have the lies of
the Master rammed down our throats.
Of course we rush out in angry confusion and vote for the very Master
we have been subjected by. Donald Trump represents to many Americans,
the very ideal they have been told over and over to worship.
This is why I have hammered over and over again that we are no where
ready for a Revolution. An uprising by the confused American Working
Class will end up looking like Liberia or Egypt. It would amount to,
Out of the Frying Pan, into the Fire.
Times are going to be hard for the majority of Americans. But the
Empire will find it harder and harder to turn us inward. The day will
come when they will be forced to expose their base nature, and they
will need to use violence and military force to contain us. When that
day arrives, God help us if we don't have a survival plan ready to go.

Hi all,
I'm feeling ill as well, but it's not physical, it's emotional.
I am feeling within me a deep and disturbing hatred for the following:
1. Stupid people who really believe that Trump will make life better
for the majority of Americans.
2. Debbie Wasserman-schultz for rigging democratic primaries against
Sanders and in favor of Clinton. Will she be returning to Congress
next year? What a farce.
3. Hillary Rodham Clinton for making the dumb-ass decision to run for
president. She's a horrible campaigner, a walking freezer unit,
crooked as the letter S and maybe even incompetent. Obama didn’t'
just win in 2008 because he is an accomplished speaker. There was
then and still is today very little passion or enthusiasm for
Clinton. Hillary, your legacy will be a roll-bac of progressive
policies and women's rights. Part of me is even glad that you're not
the first woman president.
4. Most of all, Donald Trump for ratchetting up fear and hate with
the diabolical skill of an accomplished media marketer.
