i have had it. i have been polite to idiots who feel they know better than everybody else. i lived through watergate, iran-contra and numerous other nasty bits of history. but since the inauguration, fools seem to be coming out of the woodwork. i live in maricopa county, az. we have had ev meachem (he liked to call black kids pickaninnies) and joe arpaio (who needs no introduction). i am used to nuts in office. but this person has made it 200,000 times worse. i have had enough. i am not going to ignore you anymore. i will call bullshit any time, any place. THE WORM HAS TURNED \_ YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED I INTEND TO BE VERY LOUD AND POSSIBLY SAY BAD WORDS ---

well, i prefer to use less well-worn phrases. for instance, did you know what trump wears on his head is a second-hand merkin? isn’t that a lot more fun, knowing trump has to find a dictionary and someone to read it to him? i only use profanity when extremely provoked, and that when i am so mad i can’t think straight. ---

Actual thread topic: What’s the naughtiest verbiage we can get the OP to use against Trumpers? Let’s maybe start slow with something playing off the “rump” in Trump. ---

By “this person”, do you mean Trump? If not, please specify. It helps clarify the Pitting. ---

I’ve had it too, OP, but it’s not about getting angry on Trumpeters. It’s about finally realizing that oh, fuck me now, I’m surrounded by ignorant assholes. And they voted for a charlatan. ---

They’re just people of the land. The common clay of the new west. Seriously, these are the same people who bought snake oil, frequented revival tents, came out to picnic during public executions and private hangings. That great mass of Humanity below the mean/average who just aren’t particularly bright, but are convinced that they are. _There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”_ Isaac Asimov, Column in Newsweek (21 January 1980) ---

We have some AZ Dopers. Maybe you could see if any of them would want to meet up and commiserate with you. Capitalization or not, anyone who realizes what you realize has something going for them. It’s a shame that this has become the mark of intelligence in this country. ---
