Just heard a fantastic speech Obama gave in NC today. If the darn citizens don’t come out to vote in droves even after that, then screw them. I don’t know what else people need to go and vote and make this thing go away already.

Long Day
I turn on the news after a long, long day and see a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan on a stage of an actual political debate in Louisiana. And what he’s saying is,
” I’m not opposed to all Jews but. . .”
Whew, what a relief. Good to know he’s not opposed to all Jews. I can sleep easy.
White Identity Crisis
There is yet another article in the NY TIMES about ” the crisis of white identity.” The whole concept sounds deeply bizarre to me. I’m white but I never had any “white identity”. Never felt the need for one. And hey, I’m better off because I don’t need to be wasting my time on any dumb identity crisis as a result.
People should go find something useful to do with themselves.
Once It’s Over
The people who really bug me are those who say in holier – than – thou tones, “I’m just so tired of all this negativity and partisanship. I want this election to be over.”
Yes, once the election is over, we will all make flower arrangements and stare at our miniature peace gardens because that’s what everybody did non-stop before this election.
The Answer
The story of the Oppressed Tiffany answered my own question about the rich Trump supporters. I forgot that it’s precisely the rich and the spoiled who feel the most Oppressed and downtrodden. They are sitting in their mansions, feeling aggrieved and hard done by. Their oppression doesn’t have to be real. To the contrary, they feel it all the more strongly the less actual cause there is for it.
The people who are actually experiencing hardship are never so aggressively mean about it.
A Raging SnowflakeÂ
Remember the Oppressed Tiffany, a very special snowflake whose “narrative was erased by the entire field of academia” when a hapless prof asked her to work on her writing?
The administration of her college is now going to humiliate the entire teaching faculty by forcing them to attend classes on microaggressions to appease the raging snowflake. Serves them right for not figuring out that their job is not to teach the snowflakes but to praise them slavishly and exuberantly without pause.
