re: #60 Targetpractice

It seems somebody among the NYT editors decided that “Look at how many Trump supporters we can find in Appalachia” stories weren’t working anymore and chose to challenge themselves to finding “liberal” Trump supporters. And they succeeded by…finding the sort of people you find when lots of money is involved:

tl;dr, the Gray Lady hunted down a couple of star fuckers and social climbers who think money protects them from the sort of people that Trump’s political career is built upon. Why? Because they once tried to glom onto Hillary and a staffer stopped them, so they made a decision on Election Night ‘16 that they wanted to be with “winners” and jumped on the Trump bandwagon.

They apparently can afford to be quislings, because I’m sure they figure they’ve got the money to blow this pop stand if they’re in danger. Of course, that’s all fine and dandy if you see it coming, but not when you get dragged from your bed in the middle of the night or get cornered by a mob out on the street with no exit.

Come to think of it, “fuck everyone else, I’ve got mine” works for them too…that’s something they definitely have in common with Trumpers.
