Very apt, lol.
Martin's response to the whole thing"
Quote:"America has spoken. I really thought we were better than this. Guess not. Trump was the least qualified candidate ever nominated by a major party for the presidency. Come January, he will become the worst president in American history, and a dangerously unstable player on the world stage.”I was out of touch. I did think we had become better than that. A lot of people thought he was such an obvious monstrous joke, it was inconceivable people would vote for him if they weren't bigots (particularly when it is quite clear to anyone with 2 brain cells that he WON'T be helping the middle and lower class get jobs or better wages). So those who voted for him and are not bigots are just easily fooled and stupid. They voted against their own interest, and against everyone else's well, just because they be mad bro. Yep, I was shocked by the level of stupidity and bigotry combined. Thanks for educating me, America.
“And the decimated Democrats, a minority in both House and Senate, do not have the power to hinder him. Over the next four years, our problems are going to get much, much worse.”
“Winter is coming. I told you so.”
So the middle class whites are the ones who broke for him, including educated males. Their reasoning is supposed to be that they are struggling so much, they couldn't afford to care about the racist, xenophobic shit. Oh, I'm not racist, I RELUCTANTLY voted for the racist guy endorsed by the KKK. Yeah, whatever.
