What is the right way to think about Trump voters?

I vacillate between sheer rage at them and forgiving them, for they know not what they've done.

I feel like we spend so much time worrying about STUFF-- so many stories and subplots and issues and nuances. All these important issue we as liberals care about. How many articles have we read and dissected in this campaign? And then we have this massively important election, where all that shit gets thrown out the window and we elect the most incredibly ignorant obvious conman possible. A man who several major newspapers wrote articles about, not simply not endorsing him, but saying that he was DANGEROUS and DO NOT ELECT HIM. And the American voters went ahead, like bumbling toddlers, voting for him. Except these people are adults and largely lead normal even successful lives.

It's enraging. And I don't whether to be mad at this, or just feel sorry for them, or just what.

How about you **** off and die, misinformed cretin?  You believed EVERYTHING the "major newspapers" told you?  You're the DUMBEST **** in the world if you did.

1. I'm in the angry and disgusted mode towards them

That's OK.  We've been disgusted with you and your type for years now.  And I mean disgusted in the like "you make me wanna puke" way.

2. I do NOT forgive them. I suspect the vast know exactly what they've done.

Willful ignorance doesn't wash with me.

Willful ignorance?  You WISH **** stick.  We new EXACTLY who/what we were voting for and we knew EXACTLY who/what we were voting against.

1.) Your premise is an impossibility. Tell us instead how you FEEEEEEEEL.

2.) The more you demonize normal people, the stronger our convictions and the more our numbers swell. Keep it up, dude(tte)!

3.) keep up the moral-superiority elitism, too! That plays real well in "Peoria" (which is probably very unionized, considering its major employer, Caterpillar)!

4.) Whatever ... I've got some important paint to watch dry.

Oh, indeed we do.  Make no mistake, and contrary to the condescending slop from the OP,

for they know not what they've done.

Oh, puh-LEEEEZE....   

we don't get caught up in nuance and feelings.  We know what needed to be stopped.  We know what needs to be done and, you know what bumbling toddlers? 

YOU need to be freed and ...... :

They really deep down hope they never have to deal with "us".

Well dummie I look at this way:

Near as I can you tell you ain't never had a thought, cogent or otherwise, in your entire life so why start now?  Just go back to the weed, cheetos and Girls episodes and let Trump turn this country's economy back around to where there are actually jobs for people that want to work.  That way the government can actually pay for your welfare. M'kay?

Don't worry your little liberal head about real world stuff. Leave that to those of us who actually know what we are doing. Just get back to your little safe space and you will be fine. Oh and after you get there you can FOAD.
