re: #30 Killgore Trout

I don’t think there’s any chance they would exclude the MB from future elections and I don’t think they’ll even try. They’d be getting a lot more international support if there was a plan in place to exclude the MB.
Listen, I’m really hesitant to shit on these protests. Most of the people in these protests really want freedom but I don’t think that’s what they’re going to get.

Most people say the MB has about 20-30% support among the Egyptian public. It’s not inevitable that they’ll end up in charge, but whoever does is going to have to deal with them in one way or another.
