Welp. I thought we were past this. I really did. I was wrong.
For the last years, my Twitter feed has been filled with MAGA trolls telling me that people like me “are the problem.” I never believed them. At least I didn’t until last night, when my nation confirmed it. Turns out, people like me really are the problem, and I must admit, as Donald Trump begins the process of assuming his second presidency, that I don’t know what to do about it.
The thing is, people like me don’t want to believe that half of my countrymen support the things Donald Trump supports. We thought four years of corruption, lies, ineptitude, graft, and cruelty cured our dalliance with our authoritarianism. Turns out the following four years of recovery only whetted their appetite.......
What do my fellow Americans envision mass deportations are going to look like? A country that only 80 years ago locked 120,000 people into internment camps are now going to do the same to millions? This is what my fellow Americans just voted for. Unless they don’t really believe he’ll do it. In which case they’re voting for somebody they believe is lying to them. Forgive me, I don’t understand.......
People like me feel foolish today. Not because we lost an election, but because we put our faith in those stupid higher ideals that founded our nation. I know, I know. Trump supporters will say the same, and both of us will believe that the other side misread those same, stupid founding documents. But when I read the opening of the Constitution, I don’t read it in the voice of Donald J. Trump. I hear it in the voices of my immigrant grandparents and great-grandparents.

Get a clue dumbass, it’s a repudiation of all things woke.....that and nobody wants millions of illegal aliens bringing their crime and disease here.
And they still don’t get it.
Dear Michael Ian Black
Leave the country. You are free to go anytime. It sounds like Cuba, China or North Korea maybe more to your likening.
Really dumb article.
I am stealing this statement by you.
So sad. The world’s smallest violin plays for him. 🎻
Exactly! I’m tired of the left lying, cheating and stealing with no consequences for it.
“We thought four years of corruption, lies, ineptitude, graft, and cruelty cured our dalliance with our authoritarianism.”
That’s the reason why Trump was elected. To put an end to the corruption, lies, ineptitude, graft, cruelty, and authoritarianism.

You live in a Bizarro World where everything is opposite. NONE of what you believe is true.
Why post an opinion of an idiot? Why pollute the pristine landscape of the Free Republic ideas-sharing space (at least today...) with some pseudo-intellectual garbage?
Yeah, this “my problem is that I’m too good for this world” is exactly the kind of introspection they need.
Schlep over to Touchdown Timmy's house.
He'll give you a "back massage", you little crybaby faggot.
We were this close to Directive 10-289.
Psst, Michael - that was your kids.
To put forth that maybe all dems are not evil, some may just know so much that isn’t so (per RR).
Proverbs 26;11.
And they never will.
What Mr. Black needs to understand is that President-elect Trump is a true patriot who loves the United States of America and will do everything he can to make life better for all Americans.
