fredoneverything | The desire to shock of the eternally pubescent. Smirk, smirk, look at me, smirk, smirk.
“I am
not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia, sexual
assault, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance, white
privilege. I’m not as nasty as using little girls like Pokemon before
their bodies have even developed. I am not as nasty as your own daughter
being your favorite sex symbol, like your wet dreams infused with your
own genes.”
The astonishing thing is not that some foul-mouthed twit came up with
such cloacal gush, but that the “Women’s March” sponsored her, did not
eject or even censure her.
Can you imagine any of Trump’s
middle-American supporters accusing Obama of lusting for incest with his
daughters? The two camps are different peoples. Half of the country
seems culturally dominated from the ghetto. The other half embodies
standards of behavior that have usually been thought congruent with
civil society. While Trump himself is crass, making menstrual jibes on
the air at Megyn Kelly for example, his supporters are not.
Any number of arguments can be adduced against Trump but so much of
the outpouring of hostility, even from the intelligent, lacks thought.
Thisaphobe, thataphobe, Nazi, misogynist. Putin’s Bitch.
Most seem not
to know what the words mean, or care.
Wild thought: We may be seeing Darwinian regression. The intellectual
nanoparticles waving placards, the sobbing talking headesses may
represent the return of the procaryote IQ. They give us a living
paleontological record of what life looked like before it evolved. Think
“Cambrian Implosion.” I imagine Rachel Maddow with twelve body segments
and compound eyes.
Different peoples. I would like to
see a comparative poll: How many women who voted for Trump would allow
themselves to be associated with Ms. Judd’s remarks? None, I suspect. How
many women voting for Trump would parade around in “pussy hats”? How
many fathers voting for Trump would allow their daughters, have raised
their daughters, to behave as the “Women’s Marchers”? Their children to
copy Black Lives Matter?
Different civilizations. Virtually no overlap.
The media are decidedly of the
Clinton America. In Washington at least some journalists donned pussy
hats and jointed the demonstrators. Trashy behavior has seeped into many
in the professional classes. Trump recently sued a journalist and the London Daily Mail
for describing Melania as “a high-end escort”–i.e., a take-out call
girl, a prostitute. Can you imagine a conservative paper–say, the Washington Times, The American Conservative, National Review–describing Michelle Obama as a whore? Or Trump’s fans wearing scrotal hats?
There is a brattyness in the apparent
belief of the Clinton Americans that they are entitled to the electoral
result of their choice. When they don’t get it,they act like spoiled
two-year-olds. Poor widdle fings! It is embarrassing. If Hillary had
won, would disappointed Trumpists be squalling and posing in genital
headgear or looting and burning? Whatever the merits of the politics of either side, the two have little in common culturally.
