Ah you can't make this shit up.
While explaining that he believes that Donald Trump's success in the Republican party does not mean that establishment conservatism is dying, GOP strategist Rick Wilson dismissed the "childless single men" who support Trump's presidential bid.
"The fact of the matter is, most of them are childless single men who masturbate to anime. Theyre not real political players. These are not people who matter in the overall course of humanity," Wilson said of Trump supporters on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes."

At least they have officially begun to eat their own. Without that demographic, the Republican party will go extinct.
It is their base.

(17,398 posts)that anime is for middle-aged men to masturbate to.
Only a very small segment of the anime world is hentai (anime porn), and usually the "fanservice" is innuendo such as what you'd find on sitcoms like Three's Company. And anime isn't merely "little kid's stuff," either. Most of the movies and series have adult (non-sexual) themes and are targeted towards high-schoolers and young adults, or even older. Check out Death Note or Fullmetal Alchemist sometime, and you'll see what I mean.
