It’s his birthday and he is apparently celebrating by…shitposting on Twitter.

Jeez, I really had to hold my nose while reading that shit about Michael Moore (Breitbart, SRSLY?). Though I’m unsurprised that’s who President Anus would retweet.

But FWIW, I think Moore is conceptually correct - there IS a large bloc of “angry white males” Out There - (Beckys and Karens, too) - we here would probably shorthand them as the “flyover state gun-goober vote”, but still, they:

1) are too large a voting bloc to ignore.
2) tend mainly to (reflexively) vote their prejudices, not their interests.
3) wrap their extremist politics in the mantle of religion.
4) have clung, and will cling desperately to Trump and the GOP as the sole political outlet they will tolerate - mainly because 3).

The thing is, though, other than stating the obvious - WTF is Moore trying to say? That we have to coddle the Bigot Bloc or else they’ll get violent if when Trump loses?
