Fuck You, Guy Who Regrets Voting for Trump
snip//
To which one can only say to Krein:
Fuck you, you pretentious prick. Take a stack of papers with your regret written all over it, roll it up into a thick tube, and go fuck yourself with it.
Congratulations, you bespectacled shitpile. You finally have gotten to the point that the majority of voters in the United States were at on Election Day. Everyone of us was screaming, "Trump's a fraud, he's a liar, he's never done anything in his horrible life other than con people out of their money. Jesus fuckballs, why the fuck are you believing him?" But you, with your fancy-ass Harvard degree and your desire to polish the turd of Trump's chaos until it had the kind of erudite shine that could justify you and your miserable, greedy friends voting for him like it was some kind of big joke, now you realize, "Mr. Trumps behavior grows only more reprehensible." Motherfucker, did you not read or hear anything about this man's reprehensible life? About all the people he shit all over? About the misery he's caused? About his abject failure as a businessman?
Despite your pedigree, despite your pandering protestations, you were exactly the same as every fucking backwards ass country fuck who just wanted to stick it to the niggers and spics and that bitch, Hillary. If we're fucked, you're one of the main reasons we are fucked because you and your asshole faux-intellectual friends wanted to pretend you gave a shit about more than what every other racist, sexist xenophobe who knuckle-dragged themselves to the polls last November cared about.
You actually wrote these words back in September of last year: "What makes {Trump} popular on immigration is not how extreme his policies are, but the emphasis he puts on the interests of Americans rather than everyone else." He offers, you said, "a portrait of business as a fully human struggle filled with almost romantic jousting competitions." You concluded, "His unapologetic mockery of more conventional forms of political theater makes him in some ways the most serious candidate in the race." Goddamn, I hope you're reading your worthless words and choking on the vomit their utter wrongness brings up.
No, you don't get to absolve yourself. You spend the end of your bullshit column talking about how important your ideological goals are. You describe yourself as one of "those who found some admirable things in the hazy outlines of Mr. Trumps campaign," as if you can divorce this enormous, nation-damaging error you made from your corrupt core beliefs. Fuck that. You voted for the guy who thinks bullets dipped in pig's blood scare Muslims and that Confederate monuments are awesome. You don't get to have opinions on politics anymore.
And you barely acknowledge that so many other people were right about Trump and that you were desperately wrong. You don't even say, "I'm sorry;" you don't even offer to do things to make it right; and, you cunt flea, you should be volunteering to go down on every single one of us in order to beg for forgiveness. And then we'll see how good you are, how enthusiastic, how skilled, how much we cum, before we decide whether or not you're worthy of anything more than having piss and shit tossed on you every day for the rest of your facile, ignorant life.
You're nine months late. This is your baby, whether you want it or not.

(20,219 posts)I hadn't heard of this Krein guy, but I sure am disgusted by so-called intellectuals who apparently were unaffected by herr dumpf's misogyny. That was pretty damn out there--no way to claim you didn't know.
And that is the tragedy of the minimization of Sexism.
Sexism is usually right out in front, as visible as a public person's choice of tie, but it is always treated about as seriously as an accidental, mild burp. Just ignore that, folks, nothing more than a bodily function. Nothing terribly out of bounds. Certainly not indicative of discriminatory beliefs that will assert themselves in dangerous ways if given the opportunity.
If we truly believed as a society that sexual aggression against women was unacceptable, we'd have been able to save ourselves from so many dangerous ideologues and terrorists while they were still in their early stages.

(3,064 posts)Shortly after the election I called him. He was even more pissed than I was about Trump winning.
I wasn't all that surprised because he voted Obama in 2008 but mainly because he was appalled by Sarah Palin.
On a number of occasions over the years I'd heard him refer to Hillary as a b***h so I said," I guess you didn't vote for anyone for President then."
And he replies," I voted for Hillary. She's experienced and competent."
After the Bush years(he voted for Bush twice) he told me that if Gore had won the world would have been much better off, no Middle East wars, real action on environment.
So I guess my long haired redneck high school educated Texas buddy is a much better judge of character than this Harvard educated fool.
So I guess me and him will tell this guy to fuck himself and his belated regrets.

(3,022 posts)original opinion piece. The comments are just as scathing as the Rude Pundit. I didn't go through all 5000+ comments, but in the first 100 I didn't see anyone giving Mr. Krein credit for coming to his senses and many telling him he shouldn't be in the political opinion business.

(81,511 posts)Dear Sweet God do I LOVE the Rude Pundit! And if I didn't already, then after THIS column, I would be orgasmic! Hell, I'm ALREADY orgasmic over this particular column, and I already loved him to smithereens. That's me over there on the fainting couch, getting smelling salts waved under my nose after I swooned myself to unconsciousness upon reading this magnificent epically righteous roar of an opinion column.
Holy Cannoli! I have to go sit down and get a drink of water and fan myself.

(20,588 posts)this is a perfect example of RW thinking - twisted:
"And as for the racism? That was just something to be elided over for Krein: "Many of his supporters, myself included, managed to convince ourselves that his more outrageous comments...were merely Bidenesque gaffes committed during the heat of a campaign." For the record, Joe Biden never called for all Muslims to be banned from coming into the United States and probably wouldn't consider that specific, scripted, racist campaign promise a "gaffe."
Don't fuck with Biden!!!!!!

(101,368 posts)He's part of a group of conservatives who wrote a "Journal of American Greatness" blog in 2016, trying to make an 'intellectual case' for Trump in politics.

http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/a-new-trumpist-magazine-debuts-at-the-harvard-club
In 2017 he started the magazine "American Affairs", trying to monetize the unexpected seriousness that some took his crap with. If you heard of "The Flight 93 Election", that was a load of bullshit claiming a Hillary victory would be as fatal for the USA as the hijackers who took over Flight 93, and that everyone must elect Trump as the 'charging the cockpit' act. That was written by Michael Anton, another of the 'JAG' bloggers. He's now the National Security Council spokesman for Trump. Anton is a White House white supremacist, and Krein was his colleague:
Race is integral to Antons sense of his own persecution. He sees the enthusiasm for Trump among avowed white supremacists as more reason to support Trump: The Left was calling us Nazis long before any pro-Trumpers tweeted Holocaust denial memes, he argues. And how does one deal with a Nazi that is, with an enemy one is convinced intends your destruction? You dont compromise with him or leave him alone. You crush him. It is a fascinating line of reasoning: There are Nazis supporting his chosen candidate, therefore the left will crush conservatives like Nazis, therefore his chosen candidates triumph is all the more necessary.

Krein wanted to be the next William Buckley. Now he's realised that people really do recoil when the white supremacy of the Trump regime is exposed, he's just a rat leaving the sinking ship.
