(82,849 posts)Read it, heed it, and practice saying it to these assholes: "You speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character."
First, it has the great advantage of being true. Second, it acknowledges that their cruelty, stupidity, and viciousness are part of the American character; it's not a dodge and faces squarely a dark side of our national psyche that we'd like to pretend doesn't exist. Third, did I mention that it's true?

(18,748 posts)I love Hunter Thompson. LOVED him. He, and no one else, taught me how to cuss with grace & aplomb. He had such a strong sense of ethics. He's my freaking spirit animal.
And our dear, departed Dominick Dunne would have shredded the whole trump catastrophe from the eyes of someone with a conscience AND money.
I miss them both so much.
