MSNBC is interviewing "Bernie" protestors out marching in the streets

I use the quotes because I don't who these fucking idiots are
They might be paid shills making trouble
They might be real
I don't know
But they are STUPID as all get out
Talk of voting for Trump because Bernie lost.
Talk of how Hillary has already ruined the country worse than Trump ever will (apparently she's secretly been President these last 8 years)
Talk of how Trump as President will teach us our lesson for not voting their way.

I have only one thing to say to these people who think putting a racist in charge of our country and are willing to sacrifice the rights of Latinos, Muslims, women to the extreme right wing of our country by giving them full control of the country they left in ruins 8 years ago and the Supreme Court for the next 40 years:
Don't ruin the country for everyone because you didn't get your way this time.
It would be fitting if only you would have to suffer under a Trump Presidency but it will affect all of us.
Don't be a dick. don't be stupid.
Don't support indirectly or directly the guy the KKK wants to win.
As of now you're either with us or against us.
Bernie is with us. You supported him and you should be too.
But if you're not with Bernie and the rest of us, and want to burn it all down just because, then you can go fuck yourself.
Because you're just stupid.
And we can't fix stupid.

3. They're stupid, outright racist, or they have no compassion for people who aren't white.

There's no excuse for allowing a white supremacist to take over our country.

People need to understand that while Trump may be preaching bigotry as part of his pitch, not everyone feels threatened in the same way or in the same degree by that kind of talk. If a person is white and has health insurance, he/she may not feel that threatened by the prospect of a Trump presidency. They may not care or understand what a few more right wing judges on the court might mean for the future of progressivism in this country. Everyone is different.

that doesn't fit the narrative of 'Disruption at the DNC !!!!!!!!!'

I find it incredible that so many intelligent people on this site don't understand that...then again it feeds into their narrative du jour.

"All the things that Trump will do, Hillary has already done"?

Uninformed people playing at politics like it is a game or reality TV.

Trump and Bernie are diametrically opposed.

Trump brags of having bought and paid for his chunk of Democracy, and Bernie wants it all to stop.

Trump wants to privatize, well... everything, and Bernie wants to socialize schools and increase socialized medicine.

There's no way at all for someone to have supported Bernie and vote for Trump without them being an idiot, a shit-disturber, extremely confused, or all three.

The KKK is on board with Trump! That's all anybody needs to know about that scumball right there!

Progressives my ASS! No real progressive would ever support Trump!
