Exactly. I’m tired of the white working class being treated like they’re special snow flakes whose concerns mean more than the rest of us. As I said earlier, I really do sympathize with those who have lost their jobs due to outsourcing and automation but it does happen. I get when you’ve been a coal miner your whole life and you’re scared that you may have to learn a new job in the middle of your life. I get that. But I will not forgive or condone people who ignored Trump’s bigotry and ignored our concerns too.

It’s not even that they’re treated like special snow flakes. They’re treated like the only snowflakes. They’re treated and defied as the only America that matters. Constantly, utterly, repeatedly, and then the rest of us are chided and browbeaten for ignoring them and treating them like afterthoughts, when they suck up all the goddamn oxygen in the room. Having to share concerns with other parts of America is not fucking being an afterthought. To paraphrase Jon Stewart, they’re mistaken not being treated like the only thing that matters for tyranny.
