I know nothing should surprise me with these fucking people at this point, but my mouth still dropped open when I read that.

    And this is prime “You didn’t vote for my shit candidate, therefore you are literally Hitler”.

    It is certainly nice to not have blood on my hands.

      A lot of these comments in this post seem insane but what it looks like is that non-principled people just can not understand principled people. The non-principled people hurt themselves (and many others) in their confusion.

      Oh I didn’t say that.

      I just find it amusing when folks claim that their conscience and hands are clean when they played a part in getting trump elected.

      It was a decision telling of priorities, and sending a message, or maintaining a clear conscience, was likely deemed more important than the ramifications a trump presidency. That’s why I mentioned the ivory tower - I assumed that you thought you weren’t going to be too affected by a trump presidency? Either that, or you wanted to maintain a clean conscious despite that? The latter is admirable in it’s own way, but i believe less likely when looking at entire populations.
