What are you, my crazy co-dependent girlfriend? by Mischief Maker 05/19/2018, 8:38am PDT

Let's put aside the fact that the person writing an emotionally charged piece about an article that's 80% direct quotes being some kind of a dishonest smear job is Ben "George Soros was a Nazi collaborator" Shapiro. There's a bigger question here:

What the hell is up with this talking point that republican voters are controlled by the smugness of liberals?

I never asked to be your goddamn babysitter. Why don't you feel deeply insulted when your pundits say that? Do you people have any agency at all?

I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary because his stances and his voting history aligned with my policy goals much more than Clinton. Then I voted for Clinton in the general because her stances and voting record aligned with my policy goals much, much more than Trump. Despite the fact that her campaign insulted me personally with that whole "Bernie Bro" meme. It's called being an adult.

It's just the weirdest contradiction. You call yourselves alpha males, yet you present yourselves to the world as helpless children constantly grasping for a father figure to give complete unquestioning devotion to, even if that daddy is a hysterical jackass. If Bernie Sanders said he could shoot a man on 5th Ave. and all his supporters would still love him, I'd respond, "Fuck you, Bernie, you don't own me!" But the red hats cheered. It's not even a Trump phenomena. I remember back when Rush Limbaugh was at his height, his fans called themselves "dittoheads" because of their automatic uncritical agreement with any opinion Rush expressed. As if that was a mark of pride. It's like you people want to be slaves.

Or, maybe deep down you know you're not happy with Trump. Maybe when he tweets that the American Chamber of Commerce has been ordered to save Chinese jobs right after the Chinese govt. put half a billion dollars in Trump's Indonesian Theme Park, while meanwhile those jobs at the Carrier plant have left the country, you realize you've been had. Maybe it's too painful to admit you fucked up and you're seizing on excuses to put the blame on someone else.

In any case, I reject this responsibility for your life decisions, and I sure as hell am not going to silence my free speech about how hilarious Jordan Peterson is to avoid triggering you.

Because if there's one thing I've learned from pizzagate and QAnon, it's that even if the left doesn't do anything to aggravate the right, you'll just make shit up.
