Here’s my advice to the subjects of the NYT think piece and other “moderates” who want absolution without an act of contrition.

1. If you want to be forgiven, you first have to admit you sinned. Saying “I didn’t think he’d actually do it” or “This isn’t what I voted for” are excuses and will be treated as such. Nothing he’s done since taking office is a surprise, he ran on every bit of it. Have the decency to admit you bought what he was selling, don’t lie to us that you were just in it for the free tote bag.

2. If you want us to feel bad that you got called names for voting for Trump, then you came to the wrong place. You made a huge error in judgment, you consigned this nation to a minimum of 4 years under this orange turd’s rule, you’re not going to get any sympathy because now your jimmies are getting rustled. Have some dignity and take your licks without whining.

3. If the problem you have with the DNC is because of “identity politics” rather than catering to “economic anxiety,” then what are you bitching about? Trump’s giving you what you wanted, aren’t you happy? Oh, you mean he promised you that the jobs would come back and all them “illegals” would be gone overnight? Yeah, life’s full of disappointments, you’re about to experience 4 years of them. The line starts back there…

4. Finally, talk about “coalitions” and “movements” that start with the idea that liberals have to come to you is a non-starter. We’re already drawn the line in the sand and begun to organize. You don’t get to join now and tell us that we’re doing it all wrong and have to shuffle things around to accommodate you. If you feel that you’ve no choice but to support Trump because we’re not going in the direction you want, then you obviously are not really against Trump, you’re just wanting people to validate your choice to vote for him. Perhaps you’d be better off going over to Stormfront and joining like-minded folks.
