Dumb As A Bag of Cunt Hair

In the interest of equal opportunity, we can also say that they are dumber than a bag of dicks.

Trying to imagine how that many dicks wound up in a bag. The mind wobbles.

The WLB picked them for his cabinet.

I don't think it's a big mystery why people voted for Trump. You don't have to agree with it to find it understandable. 

Both the Republicans and the Democrats have worked hard to make life better for the rich and worse for the poor. We know that. In the last election, all the Republican potential nominees were worthless. The Dems made sure to sideline their possible good choices to make way for the unpopular Neoliberal warmonger. No reasonable person would choose any of those. 

That still leaves the question: why Trump?

But that's partly answered through the evidence of Minimalist's posts here. 

America has always had a strong anti-intellectual streak. (see Hofstadter's book) Recently, this has taken the form of thinking that someone who says "fuck" and "cunt" a lot is sincere. Vulgarity is a sign of honesty. So when Trump says "grab 'em by the pussy," it shows that he isn't one of those bullshitting politicians. Fuck those fuckers. It shows that he's a straight shooter. 

And when Minimalist includes "fuck" and "cunt" in thread titles and lots of posts, it shows that he is just telling it like it is -- no bullshit with him, he's telling off the fucking fuckers. 

And when Trump says that Obama was a Kenyan communist, it doesn't matter if that's true or not. It's a "fuck you" to the people we disagree with. And if Minimalist says the authors of Genesis were Bronze Age goat fuckers, that's obviously a-historical slander, but who cares? It's a big "fuck you" to people who are incorrect in their metaphysical beliefs. 

"Fuck" and "cunt" and insults that make no sense are how people proceed these days. It makes politics simpler, it makes religion-hating simpler. We don't have to be accurate or even rational -- just fuck 'em all.

Actually, I just do it because it is allowed here.

 

May you be touched by his Noodly Appendage!
