Virginia Is a Red State Now — Lock, Stock, and Barrel

From Axios, “Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed 11 executive orders following his swearing in ceremony on Saturday, including those that overturn Virginia’s mask mandate for public schools and a COVID vaccination requirement for state workers. Youngkin also signed an order that bans the teaching of critical race theory, a major focus of the 2021 campaign. Another one of the order effectively withdrawals the state from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program with neighboring states intended to reduce carbon pollution.”

Next, abortion and LGBTQ rights will be on the chopping block. The RepubliKKKlan wish list to reverse years of Democratic policies is underway and happening with haste. In the era of traitor trump, there is no such thing as a moderate RepubliKKKlan. They are all extremists. Mark my words. Virginia is no longer a blue state; this is what the people wanted — like it or not. And when I say people, I mean everyone except those who voted against Youngkin. So, that means RepubliKKKlan voters and those who didn’t vote; this is the state they want to live in. Oh, well. Clearly, Democrats didn’t vote in the same numbers that they did for Biden to keep Youngkin out of office, so now they’re stuck with all conservative rule, all the time. Democrats will never learn. I don’t know what it is about Democrats and left-leaning Independents who always seem to think it will never get that bad when a RepubliKKKlan is in office. These idiots need to vote blue no matter who every time in every election, not just when they feel like it. I promise you, RepubliKKKlans never miss a vote. I’d hate to be a Democrat living in this newly cemented red state who did vote. RepubliKKKlans having taken power will ensure every future election going forward is never going to be fair to Democrats. Be careful of your apathy and be careful what you wish because you just might get it! Welcome to stupid America!

It’s All Related

From the Los Angeles Times, “As I observed then, pleas for ‘civility’ are a fraud. Their goal is to blunt and enfeeble criticism and distract from its truthfulness. Typically, they’re the work of hypocrites. It may be not a little ghoulish to celebrate or exult in the deaths of vaccine opponents. And it may be proper to express sympathy and solicitude to those they leave behind. But mockery is not necessarily the wrong reaction to those who publicly mocked anti-COVID measures and encouraged others to follow suit, before they perished of the disease the dangers of which they belittled. Nor is it wrong to deny them our sympathy and solicitude, or to make sure it’s known when their deaths are marked that they had stood fast against measures that might have protected themselves and others from the fate they succumbed to. There may be no other way to make sure that the lessons of these teachable moments are heard.” This is certainly the first published article I’ve seen that is not afraid to suggest that cheering for the deaths of the willingly unvaccinated is not only not a bad thing but perhaps appropriate. Finally! I’ve never been civil, nor do I want to be toward these people. They are the same hateful people who want to round up the gays and kill them. Yes, it is a leap, but let me explain.

Make absolutely no mistake! These are exactly the same people — all of them. These are all anti-science and pro-religion morons who all think vaccines and being gay is an abomination. Do not think for one G.D. second that these anti-vaxxer deaths are simply because of their consumption of “misinformation” or crusade to protect personal choice — you know where being gay is a personal choice, and apparently, a wrong one, which they are against and claim should not be protected. Again, this only reinforces the hypocrisy assertion that the author makes in the article. It’s all the same and it’s all intertwined, people. They willingly seek out and assimilate anti-vax information that already conforms to their bias and bigotry, which is why all this consternation about vaccines and masks, especially in schools, has turned school board meetings and the contents of libraries into battlegrounds of the culture war. Have you ever wondered why the sudden push of anti-LGBTQ issues? Why has this become such a big deal for RepubliKKKlans during the pandemic? There is a reason why COVID has exacerbated the culture war. There is absolutely no daylight between the two — anti-vaxxers and culture warriors attacking LGBTQ rights. These anti-vaxxers are killing themselves off and with them goes their hatred and, no doubt, their RepunliKKKlan vote. I say, good on this author for finally speaking plain truth!

Look Here, Morons!

According to CNN, “House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he will not cooperate with a request from the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot, hours after the panel asked the California Republican to voluntarily provide information, including details about former President Donald Trump’s state of mind during the Capitol attack and in the weeks after.” Look here, morons! No principal player, observer, or enabler of the insurrection is going to cooperate with the committee, as I have said many times. While quixotic dumbass Democrats, MSM commentators, and other progressive political pundits proclaim the select committee is making progress and starting to get aggressive, I say no! No they are not! It’s already too late, f***tards. Traitor trump has fully subsumed the RepubliKKKlan Party into his grander MAGA moron cult movement so that no person of importance is going to crack. Traitor trump has demanded RepubliKKKlans hold firm with the Big Lie and obstruction, and that is exactly what they are doing and will continue to do. They are standing firm and giving the committee and the country the middle finger — proudly. The one thing RepubliKKKlans have plenty of is time to do nothing, and they are using it effectively. The one thing dumbass Democrats have plenty of is cowardice. These targeted House members who received “letters” “asking” for voluntary testimony and cooperation are coming off as strong while standing up to the Left. RepubliKKKlans only gain popularity with their base when they obstruct. On the other hand, the Democratic base and Independents aren’t paying attention. They don’t care, of course! The committee members are left standing their saying words of admonishment, but ultimately having nothing more than their dicks in hand.

Unfortunately, the committee will do nothing in response. They are never going to subpoena a sitting member of the House, and the DOJ is worthless to do anything even if the committee referred House members for defying a Congressional subpoena. The courts will also do nothing. SCOTUS will defer to traitor trump and RepubliKKKlans as the justices find some magical House or presidential privilege to protect, thereby allowing members of Congress to serve while subverting the rule of law and the Constitution. They’ve been sitting on the House request to expedite the legal case to get Trump’s documents for weeks now, so it’s pretty clear that SCOTUS (the conservative wing) wants to run out the clock, too. We are really at the end of the road here already. And all this noise about the committee having interviewed hundreds of people and collected thousands of documents is going to be all rather meaningless. The committee may very well have gathered enough information to produce a very convincing report about what happened on January 6, 2021, but in the end, there will be a huge hole in the theory of the case. No one new will be convinced or swayed. RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons will still embrace the Big Lie; Democrats and Independents will shrug their shoulders. There will not be a smoking gun, for all RepubliKKKlans need to do is keep their mouths shut, and they will win. Mark my words, morons. The committee is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors trying to hide their fecklessness, not because they are incompetent but because they simply do not have the power and never did. This entire matter really should be in the hands of the DOJ. That, too, is a pipe dream. Our democracy is done, f***tards. I hate to break the news, but it is. When Democrats lose the House and possibly the Senate, then America is done for good. RepubliKKKlans are going to win just by obstructing. Democrats all too often let them. And, of course, no one cares! Oh, well. I guess people will still have Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Welcome to stupid America!

‘Chief Justice Roberts’s bad math’

From The Hill, “Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has a math problem. In his recently issued Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary, the chief made a basic mistake that would be obvious to anyone who encounters simple math concepts – ratios, proportions, averages – in their work or pastimes, including sports fans, teachers, fulfillment center operators, bakers, mechanics, even lawyers and many others. Roberts’s miscalculation matters because it downplays an ethics problem among federal judges, as I will explain below.”

The title of the article from The Hill, which I used as the title of this post, intrigued me, and the substance of the piece coincidentally coincided with a couple of books I just read — How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking by Jordan Ellenberg and The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rule Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow. These books were — mostly — a breezy read since their contents were laymans’ interpretation of mathematics and statistics demonstrated by real-world, practical applications. Although I have taken countless math and statistics courses during my undergraduate and graduate studies — and then through self-study with post-graduate work — these books were a refreshing way to think about the subject matter that wasn’t written in pedantic prose. Then it occurred to me how many adults simply are never taught the basics of probability, statistics, mathematics, etc. Of course, this epiphany only reinforced my unyielding premise that Americas are just really f***ing stupid. Allow me to give a real-world example of the massive knowledge gap that “informs” the average American idiot. The person who cuts my hair is one such American moron, and every two weeks I must swallow my disdain to be cordial, not knowing what dumb-dumb notions will come out of her mouth as she watches Faux News. So, you see, all my rantings about RepubliKKKlans and MAGA morons are well-grounded in my bi-monthly indoctrination of what’s new in crazy town. She may be a dingbat, but she cuts hair well, and I do need to stay in tune with the “other” side of “alternative facts” to justify my experienced writing. More to the point, she often likes to engage in the classic logical fallacy of cum hoc ergo propter hoc (“with this, therefore because of this”), which, in more colloquial parlance, means correlation proves causation. Of course, this is wrong reasoning. Correlation is not necessarily causation, but people in their failed ability to think critically like to assume that when two events occur together (or nearly together), one must be the cause of the other. A perfect example is when a moron like Joe Rogan contracts COVID, decides to take Ivermectin, claims the drug prevented his death, and thus touts its efficaciousness over vaccines, but never mind he probably was never going to die from the disease in the first place. But whatever! This is precisely how charlatan “medical” treatments by quacks get amplified and perpetuated, all because people are too stupid to think.

Then I am reminded of a friend who passed along part of a social media thread that was driving him crazy. The part of the exchange ended like this: Vaccinated people are 18 times more likely to die from COVID. Full stop! The logical conclusion (in the arguer’s mind) is that the COVID vaccine is bad and deadly, so don’t get it. My friend sent it to me as an example of some of the conversations he gets into, which probably are conversations he should avoid. But assuming the “18 times” number is a fact — doubtful, but again I have no idea where it came from because Lord knows these crazies quote everything and anything as gospel — what other piece of critical information is missing? Anyone? Does anyone at all have an answer? Can anybody out there provide one piece of information to support the counterfactual argument that vaccines are bad? How about this? The unvaccinated are 100 times more likely to die from COVID. Both statements can be true. Without the flipside of the argument (the unvaccinated), you are completely missing the salient point. Yes, of course, vaccinated people are going to die, but there is a greater chance you will die if you are not vaccinated. Clearly, having this additional piece of information would strongly suggest you should get vaccinated. But these lame-brained half “arguments” pervade everything when it comes to COIVD and anti-vaxxers more generally. Again, it is stupid thinking by stupid people meant to confuse other morons to make poorly reasoned arguments. COVID has not made America stupid; it’s only shone a light on just how benighted Americans actually are. And this is why traitor trump is the most popular politician in today’s profoundly stupid America. Oh my, I have severely digressed.

Getting back to Chief Justice Roberts. It is hard to say if Roberts does have a math problem or if his intentions were more insidious. It’s Roberts, so I’m going with insidious, duplicitous, malicious, and plain old mendacious. I’m sure he understands his sleight of hand calculations, knowing that the average moron does not. Therefore, he can get away with making profoundly wrong conclusions while having the air of infallibility disguised in high rhetoric and stately legal-esque prose, which all conveys a sense of logic beyond reproach. In short, Americans can be easily duped because they are not smart enough to know any better. Moreover, Americans are too stupid to recognize what they don’t know, and even if they were cognizant of such shortcomings, nothing would come of it because if the solution or information is not on Facebook or Twitter, then it does not exist. Try picking up a book, dare I say. Welcome to stupid America — always and forever. And no one cares!

Democrats Will Always Get Outplayed

From CNN, “House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has vowed to remove three Democratic lawmakers from key committee assignments if Republicans win back the chamber in the upcoming midterm elections. Citing a ‘new standard’ that Democrats had created last year by removing GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona from their committees for inflammatory rhetoric and posts, McCarthy told Breitbart he would strip Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both of California, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota of their committee assignments.” Of course, this was to be expected. Of course, RepubliKKKlans given their grievance and vengeance tantrums were always going to retaliate. And, of course, this expected threat — and soon to be a reality — should not have deterred Pelosi from kicking MTG and Gosar off their committee assignments. And it doesn’t matter that these RepubliKKKlans were disciplined for literally threatening fellow House members, nor does it matter RepubliKKKlans are seeking revenge just for the sake of revenge. I expected nothing less. What does matter, however, is that dumbass Democrats will always get outplayed; whereas Democrats reluctantly and judiciously act, they always see such restrained actions as a ceiling of behavior, taken only rarely and in extreme cases, such as removing treacherous people from their committees. RepubliKKKlkans, on the other hand, see the ceiling as the floor, so that no retribution is out of bounds. For them, there is no such thing as a proportional response. Just like traitor trump always vowed to hit back ten times harder, RepubliKKKlans will forever execute their spitefulness ten times as much. They always will, and dumbass Democrats will always be unwilling to raise their game in defense. Oh, well. Democrats’ weakness is killing the country. Once RepunliKKKlans take back the house, Democrats will never be able to regain the majority. Welcome to stupid America. Yuuuup!

Biden’s January 6 Anniversary Speech

Sure, it was fine for what it was. Sure, Biden was more fiery and showed more fight than usual, but he still needed to evoke fire and brimstone in his content. All in all, though, I think it is too little, too late. Forty percent of the population are going to ignore him willfully and will never be convinced by anything he says. These people, of course, are RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and other assorted traitors to America. As for the remaining 60 percent of the citizenry to which the speech was chiefly aimed, I would say most of those people were listening half-heartedly. Where I think Biden soared with rhetoric and idealism, he failed to stir up the fear factor specifically for those who were tuned in. Once again, Biden and dumbass Democrats keep believing the average voter is smart. The average voter is a moron! Thus, voters are too stupid to react to intellectual arguments; they respond to emotional arguments that require the use of the amygdala part of the brain — aka the lizard brain. So, when Biden talks about saving American democracy and America’s founding principles and preserving America’s legacy and the soul of the nation and the will of the people and so forth, these ideas are still too abstract to concern the average voter, which is why you will never hear RepubliKKKlans try to make such arguments. Indeed, when RepubliKKKlans avoid talking about America’s democracy in general, it is a win/win, for they know their voters don’t care about democracy, and their voters don’t comprehend such abstractions, yet their voters love the conservative moment more because leadership does not tax their lizard brains with such perceived nonsensical notions like democracy. F***! In fact, every time I do hear RepubliKKKlans talking about anything to stir up fear in their base, it’s usually them railing against socialism taking over the country. That abstraction, for some reason, they do seem to misunderstand, naturally.

Dare I say, most Independent and Democratic voters understand just as little. This is why Biden should have spoken in more doomsayer tones and with concrete examples of fear pointed directly at the listener. Fear works, f***tards. I don’t know how many times I have to say it. Clearly, it is advice dumbass Democrats routinely ignore — at their own peril. Biden needs to layout the image of America when RepubliKKKlans regain the House or the Senate and when traitor trump returns to office. He should speak in declarative terms, not with a subjective mood. Your healthcare will be gone! Denying healthcare for pre-existing conditions will return. There will be lifetime caps on healthcare again. You can be denied healthcare for any reason once again. You and your children will be more likely to die from a lack of access to healthcare. There will never be an effort to combat climate change, so your insurance will be out of control expensive, and your beachfront property will be underwater. That is, of course, if your house is not consumed by fire or a tornado. There will be water wars as the West dries up, and states are left to fend for themselves because the federal government has abandoned all accountability. Your marriage will become illegal — gay, inter-racial, inter-faith, unproductive. You will get poorer as the rich get richer. Open carry will be legal in every state, everywhere, and for everyone without training or a license. Open gun battles will be the new norm to settle minor confrontations everywhere, and you’ll be caught in the crossfire. Your children will die in school at the hands of daily school shootings in a nation where guns are more valuable than lives because gun manufacturers will be writing all the gun laws. COVID will never be under control as anti-vaxxers become the lawmakers. SCOTUS will ensure any right to privacy is wiped away, so your actions in the bedroom will be illegal and subject to prosecution. Christian theocracy will be the law of the land; freedoms you enjoy today will be illegal and a sin tomorrow. (But you’ll still have your Facebook and Twitter! God! Kill me now!) Biden should have painted a real dystopian landscape of what awaits America if democracy fails. He should lie if need be because lying works in America; most people are not smart enough to discern truth from lies (or “alternative facts”). Idealism in a speech is admirable but not nearly enough to excite the Democratic base that is sleeping in the face of the RepubliKKKlan base, which is woke and raping the country.

Let me end by saying one more thing. Biden still refuses to say traitor trump’s name, which I think is a grave mistake. I don’t know why he refuses to do so. He need not call him “President [traitor] trump,” but instead by the more prosaic title of Mr. [traitor] trump. In fact, I don’t think Biden should ever refer to traitor trump as the “former president” or “my predecessor.” It should be Mr. [traitor] trump all the time, every time, as if he were never president. That would irritate the former traitor-in-chief more than anything. When Biden refuses to say his name, to some degree, he fails to recognize and clearly define the threat. Lord knows, this is par for the course for dumbass Democrats; they only see the disaster after it’s too late. Oh, well. You’ve been warned, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America.

Happy RepubliKKKlan Insurrectionists and Dumbass Democrat Enablers Day!

America cannot stand and will fall — is falling now at this very moment! One year after the RepubliKKKlan coup attempt (actually it is still ongoing) and the state of the nation has only progressed for the worse. Pick any opinion poll and you will find conspiracy theories and pure unadulterated hatred guides and consumes the RepubliKKKlan Party and informs the political will of their voters more than ever, whereas dumbass Democrats are too f***ing weak and still hoping for a return to normalcy as if all the political violence of the opposition will miraculously resolve itself. RepubliKKKlans are the enemy and Democrats are completely blind to the threat. Peruse any one of my prior posts to understand more fully my perspective, but on this one-year anniversary, I have completely lost faith that America’s democracy will endure. It! Can! Not! A country of 40 percent of those too stupid (RepubliKKKlans) and 60 percent of those too apathetic (Democrats) cannot stand. Hope and goodwill cannot prevail against and vanquish stupidity and hate. These factions can never co-exist! Do not think for a second that 40 percent of the country cannot overpower the will of the other 60 percent. History is replete with examples of minority tyranny. In fact, tyranny is the rule in the history of humanity; democracy is the exception. Oh, well. I expected nothing less. Get ready, f***tards. The fall is coming! Welcome to stupid America!

Good! I’m Glad They Died!

From CNN, “[Bob and Sue Walker] died of Covid-19 over the holidays on separate floors in an Arizona hospital. The couple found out they had Covid-19 just before Thanksgiving — Sue was tested in the hospital while getting treatment for what they thought was a COPD flare-up and Bob took a home test when his wife tested positive. Neither of their parents were vaccinated and they both had health issues, son Jonathan Walker, 42, said. He said his dad had kidney problems and other health issues in the past and had recently had part of his foot amputated because of complications from diabetes.”

Good! F*** them! Honestly, I am so over the f***ing G.D. stupid. I can’t stand it anymore. And I love how CNN runs these personal story features as a way to give a face to the “tragedy” that is COVID. Oh, f***ing spare me! All that these stories prove is this: Stupid is as stupid does. In fact, these stories actually make me happy. Hopefully, these were two RepubliKKKlan voters. Lord Jesus! We can only pray so. Clearly, these two special morons were not taking care of themselves in the first place — the dude had out-of-control diabetes, and the see you next Tuesday wife had COPD, which is just a nice way of saying emphysema caused by, no doubt, chain-smoking. I have no idea how these paragons of healthy living thought that they were especially exempt from the worst of COVID, but apparently, they thought they were untouchable — Ivermectin or horse paste protected, I suppose. Un-f***ing-believable. But, whatever. Like I said. I’m glad. They should have died sooner. Stupid people will die in stupid ways. So, congratu-f***ing-lations, morons. You got what you deserved and what any person with two brain cells to rub together could have predicted. Please, anti-vaxxers, just f***ing die already. Too many of you are still kicking! Now, ask me how I really feel. Welcome to stupid America.

We Are F***ed Thanks to Dumbass Democrats

In an excellent article from The Guardian, the author writes, “At this supreme moment of crisis, the left has divided into warring factions completely incapable of confronting the seriousness of the moment. There are liberals who retain an unjustifiable faith that their institutions can save them when it is utterly clear that they cannot. Then there are the woke, educational and political elites dedicated to a discourse of willed impotence. Any institution founded by the woke simply eats itself – see TimesUp, the Women’s March, etc – becoming irrelevant to any but a diminishing cadre of insiders who spend most of their time figuring out how to shred whoever’s left. They render themselves powerless faster than their enemies can. What the American left needs now is allegiance, not allyship. It must abandon any imagined fantasies about the sanctity of governmental institutions that long ago gave up any claim to legitimacy. Stack the supreme court, end the filibuster, make Washington DC a state, and let the dogs howl, and now, before it is too late. The moment the right takes control of institutions, they will use them to overthrow democracy in its most basic forms; they are already rushing to dissolve whatever norms stand in the way of their full empowerment. The right has recognized what the left has not: that the system is in collapse. The right has a plan: it involves violence and solidarity. They have not abjured even the Oath Keepers. The left, meanwhile, has chosen infighting as their sport. … There is one hope, however, that must be rejected outright: the hope that everything will work out by itself, that America will bumble along into better times. It won’t. Americans have believed their country is an exception, a necessary nation. If history has shown us anything it’s that the world doesn’t have any necessary nations [emphasis added].”

This was a fantastic article, and I encourage everyone to read it carefully. Of course, much of it echoes what I have been saying for well over a year now, and the portion I quoted above is particularly germane to my incessant argument: Dumbass Democrats are contributing to the end of America’s democracy. One may actually be forgiven for believing that I hate dumbass Democrats more than RepubliKKKlans, given how often I bash the left for its incompetence and reliance on hope as a change motivator. Honestly, it depends on the day how true that observation is. Apparently, I am not the only one. The selection above says it all. Dumbass Democrats (politicians and voters alike) are too f***ing weak, stupid, blind, and apathetic to the danger that is the RepubliKKKlan Party. How many times have I said that Democrats need to get out of the hope-y, change-y B.S. mindset? How many f***ing times? I am literally to the point that the moment I hear a Democratic politician say the word “hope,” I stop listening to anything that comes out of their mouth afterward because it’s all pansy sh*t. “I hope RepubliKKKlans will do the right thing.” “I hope insurrectionist organizers cooperate with the House January 6 Select Committee.” “I hope anti-vaxxers will get vaccinated.” “I hope AG Garland prosecutes the insurrectionist planners.” “I hope RepubliKKKlans don’t act like hypocrites.” Un-f***ing-believable. What a f***ing joke.

Democrats need to start fighting back and stop expecting some fanciful return to normal whereby RepubliKKKlans come to their senses to become willing partners and participants in democracy again. That state of the Union is gone forever, yet we have Biden trying to drag us back to normalcy and to some quaint notion of decorum while the right is ready to fight and destroy America. In fact, they are fighting and destroying now in plain sight. Democrats think by merely passing Biden’s agenda, they can win elections. That is not how it works, f***tards. Voters are not that smart; they are not paying attention; they don’t care. Recall, Democrats were decimated in the mid-term elections following the passage of the ACA because voters were too stupid to actually understand the benefits of the new law that people would come to enjoy and fear losing a decade later. (I could write 10,000 words about how Democrats keep overestimating the intelligence of voters as their primary political error. However, I digress.) But Democrats don’t fight because they are just too m*****f***ing G.D. weak! I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat myself again: Dumbass Democrats need to turn on and turn up the rage and fear machine to get their voters out to the polls every time. F***! I can’t stand it anymore! Whatever! I give! Our democracy was lost the second traitor trump was elected in 2016, and nothing has changed the course of America’s demise since. Oh, well. No one cares! Welcome to stupid America, but not for long.

Most Encouraging Poll I’ve Seen in a Long While — Not!

From The Hill, “More than 8 in 10 registered voters in a new poll are worried about the future of American democracy. The survey, conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University, found that 83 percent of registered voters are very or somewhat worried about the future of America’s democracy. For comparison, 15 percent of registered voters said they are not very worried or not at all worried about the future of America’s democracy. Both Democrats and Republicans said they are very or somewhat worried about the future of democracy, 82 percent and 86 percent, respectively.” RepubliKKKlans and Democrats sharing the same worries for America’s democracy? This could be an encouraging poll — maybe. Not! Without more detailed questioning it is possible that RepubliKKKlans worry about our democracy because of alleged voter fraud or more to the point because minorities are voting. So, one must be careful how to interpret these results. Considering RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, QAnon, evil evangelicals, and all the remaining assortment of insurrectionist groups account for no less than 40 percent of the American population, it is easy to see how a good portion of the “8 in 10” are worried democracy is working too well for minorities and against white supremacists. It is the classic white grievance argument. Poor white men. They don’t have enough privileges. I guess when the time comes 83 percent will be fighting over democracy fears of some sort. Welcome to stupid America. Stupid no matter how you spin the numbers.
