Satisfy my curiosity, because I’ve been meaning to ask: how does it feel being hands-down the dumbest motherfucker on this board? Are you even advanced enough for real feelings, or are you basically a roundworm with a mouth and an anus and a bunch of random impulses jittering up and down your slimy tube? ---

I think it’s time Trump supporters started taking responsibility for their own stupidity and stopped blaming their decision to vote for Trump on all those mean liberals insulting their fragile feelings. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Ignore them? _Ignore them?_ Asshole, I’m fucking _funding_ them! Where do you think Mississippi gets its food stamp money from? Billions of “coastal elite” money has been funneled into your shithole states, and what do we get for it? “It doesn’t matter what Democrats have done.” Yeah, no fucking shit! If it doesn’t matter what we do for these ungrateful idiots, what exactly is the fucking point of trying to talk to them? If actually giving them money so they have food and shelter doesn’t get them to stop hating us, _why not_ call them names? Oh, and take back all that federal aid we’ve been subsidizing for them, while we’re at it. Shit, I’m starting to think _I_ might vote for Trump next time around! Let’s grant him the full eight years to give these useless, inbred cockmongers the righteous ass-fucking they voted for. Let him turn “Real America” into a blasted, polluted wasteland populated by diseased serfs ruled over by corporate oligarchs. Maybe that will finally get the message through their sloping, simian skulls about exactly what enacting their political delusions actually means. > > Or, at least, it’ll kill off enough of them so we can stop pretending like they matter. I’m looking for where I said ‘ignore them’ Far from it, you shouldn’t ignore them. Also I’m pretty sure a great deal of the people your tax dollars are funding also voted for Hillary. Thinking that these states get a disproportionate share of Federal tax dollars doesn’t mean that the direct recipients of those tax dollars voted for Trump. Do you think somehow that I voted for Trump because I live here? ---

> [@doorhinge](#): > > “Trying” to piss off Trump voters may be gravy, but watching the Democrat collective’s head explode is like a Thanksgiving day dinner with all the trimmings. > > It doesn’t matter what the Democrat collective says, or does, at this point. It’s all trumped by a smile and a quiet “Trump won, Hillary lost”. Might even add a “sucks to be you” if they’re persistent. 😃 You mean “trumped by a gloating sneer and a loud ‘fuck you!’”, which is pretty much all I’m hearing from the right. ---

Also I’m pretty sure a great deal of the people your tax dollars are funding also voted for Hillary. Thinking that these states get a disproportionate share of Federal tax dollars doesn’t mean that the direct recipients of those tax dollars voted for Trump. This was my thought too - that most of the out-of-state food stamp money likely goes to Democrat voters more rather than Republican ones. Another thing to consider too is that a disproportional amount of the tax money that goes to flyover states may well come from taxes paid by Republicans living in predominately liberal states. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > I think it’s time Trump supporters started taking responsibility for their own stupidity and stopped blaming their decision to vote for Trump on all those mean liberals insulting their fragile feelings. Hahahaha. You’re supposed to be finding ways to irritate Trump supporters. Conservatives aren’t blaming mean liberals for increasing the numbers of Trump voters, they’re holding mean liberals responsible for the lack of support for Hillary. _“Hey ASSHOLE, you should vote for Hillary”_, isn’t much of a campaign slogan. Not a successful campaign slogan, anyway. 😃 ---
