I write letters, lots of letters for progressives. Well, if I ever debated not writing my letters to the editor anymore....that's over. The deplorables are ramping it up. Got this in the postal mail today:
DEAR STUPID, OLD, DIRTY, SMELLY, UGLY, CRAZY HIPPIE BITCH. EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY NEVER MAKES ANY SENSE. WE HEARD THAT IS BECAUSE YOU BLEW YOUR MIND ON A BAD ACID TRIP IN THE 1960'S AND THAT YOU ARE BITTER BECAUSE YOUR HUSBAND IS IN PRISON FOR CHILD PORN AND RAPE.
P.S. OBAMA IS A PILE OF SHIT! ALSO THE LIBS ARE A WEAK SHELL OF WHAT THEY USED TO BE.
then there is a smiley face. This sour winner phenom is quite something. Below is the LETTER I published 2 weeks ago that he is referring to:
Barack Obama used "my" eliptical at the gym in 2009. He runs 3 miles some days, and plays basketball. The other guy said his fitness regime consists of shouting at rallies. When Senator Obama and his army of 10 volunteers marched in Chicago's St. Pat's Parade, they brought up the rear, right in front of the garbage trucks. The other guy was appearing on Howard Stern. Senator Obama debated a proposal to provide breakfast for preschoolers. The Republican said it would "crush their spirit of self-reliance". After passage of the bill, Barack wrote "Illinois preschoolers were saved from the debilitating effects of cereal and milk." The other guy appointed Betsy DeVos to destroy public education.
In campaign speeches Barack called for all to come together in a "united American family". The other guy mocked Mrs. Khan because she was too emotionally distraught to speak on stage. When Barack ran against McCain, he said self-effacingly, "war hero versus snot-nosed rookie". The other guy says "only I can do it." Barack has a Grammy and Nobel Peace Prize. The other guy has a golden potty. Barack's daddy was a goatherder. The other guy's granddaddy ran brothels and opium dens. Barack keeps a Bible in his glove compartment. The other guy, tictacs.
Barack is witty, and eloquent. The other guy is a vulgarian. Barack shakes hands, fist pumps and hugs. The other guy said on Dateline 1999, "I am not big fan of the handshake, it's barbaric." Barack's heroes are Dr. King, John Lewis and Lincoln. The other guy went to a "hero costume party" as himself. Barack, speaking in Vietnam this year, said Vietnamese Rap connects to his feelings and this is how we build understanding. The other guy:" I punched my music teacher in the head because I didn't think he knew anything about music. I am basically the same as far as temperament goes." he wrote in 1987's Art of the Deal.
When Barack learned of his half brother's death in Nairobi, he said "I felt as if my world turned on its head. The sun was blue in a yellow sky. I heard animals speaking like men." The election of the other guy makes citizens feel this way. Barack means "blessed" in Swahili. I can say with no fear of contradiction, Barack is the greatest president of my lifetime. His wisdom and grace, coupled with his basic human decency and understanding of what this country was meant to be, have elevated him into the upper echelon of America's Presidents.
The absurdity of the 2016 election has already lent Barack an out-of-time quality, as if he were a creature from another, loftier century. Whatever happens next, I feel in my bones, we'll look back at history, as new generations are zooming down the Barack Obama Hyperloop Transport System and think, that man was rare. And we were damn lucky to have him.

(42,641 posts)I also write frequently. I was accused of having a relative at my local paper because they published so many of my letters.
Your admiration for Barack Obama, and fairly accurate description of him, shows that he is a man that Donald Trump can never be. Trump is still the New York resident, the crude builder with the crude accent, the man who, no matter how rich he may be, will never really be accepted by educated people. And Trump knows this. it is the source of much of his rage. And he and many of his followers share in this rage at the educated.
The crudeness and silliness of the (naturally anonymous) response shows what level the respondent occupies.

PS.
For a crazy hippie lady with a ruined mind you write quite well.

(23,228 posts)Clearly, the RWNJ who said "everything you say never makes any sense" has the alpha waves of a turnip, and thus simply cannot comprehend the simple logic and beauty of what the OP says. For many of these "deplorables," ideas simply pass through their ears without ever reaching the dim consciousness between.
