Fake Outrage: The Bernie Edition

You know what I hate? Fake, self-righteous outrage.

“Bernie Sanders fell asleep while fallen soldiers were being honored! He despises the dead heroes! They died for his freedom and he doesn’t even care! I won’t vote for him now!”

Oh, go eat an Advil and stop making a spectacle out of yourself. How great must it be to live in a world where every problem has been solved and all that remains to be outraged about is Bernie’s nap or lack thereof. Of course, the reason why he closed his eyes at a ceremony is so much more important than any of the issues he has been trying to get people to discuss.

I’m sure the same people who made a scandal out of this trivial event go around all outraged over the vulgarization of our political space.

  1. When it comes to politics, it seems like everyone keeps focusing on trivial stuff and ignoring all of the real issues. It’s so frustrating.

    1. Absolutely. It all started with tragically inane questions to Bernie about whether his hair was better than Hillary’s and continued until now.

    Yes. Politics as reality TV.

    From a Trump supporter:

    “A dark side of me wants to see what happens if Trump is in. There is going to be some kind of change, and even if it’s like a Nazi-type change, people are so drama-filled. They want to see stuff like that happen. It’s like reality TV. You don’t want to just see everybody be happy with each other. You want to see someone fighting somebody.”

    1. At least, he’s honest. Crowds of Liberals are posting endless anti-Hillary stories incapable of confessing to themselves that they secretly wish for Trump to win.
