Fake news, a fake president and a fake country: Welcome to America, land of no context

[calimary]

8. Welcome to DU, Douglas Kawasaki!

Yeah, I have to agree. Every time I hear someone whining about how we have to "understand" the trump voters, SHEESH! I want to throw up. I "understand" them perfectly clearly. It's THEY who don't understand themselves. I find myself saying "BULLSHIT 'it's about jobs!' That's total bullshit!" Explain to me how the violence and racism, the swastikas painted on the sides of buildings and churches, the Nazi shit spray-painted on people's cars, the open verbal abuse and hostility and menacing and threats and bullying of people of color and Latino kids in schools, and attacks on peace-loving, hard-working Muslim Americans who were born here, AND MORE - how all that disgraceful and anti-American pissant tantrum-throwing is about "jobs." Somebody has to help me understand that. Because I can't figure it out, for the life of me!

It's ABSOLUTELY and UNDENIABLY about racism. And bigotry. And misogyny. And xenophobia.
