The Trumpening
Well, I guess I need a new word for it since it is now past tense. Trumpened?
Any way, quite a few reactions I figured I’d comment on.
Based on every hippie on facebook and social media, Trump won because everyone is racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, and stupid. Well, before the election, they kept saying Trump is racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, and stupid. So, I guess they won’t change their strategy all that much after.
The tears of hippies: Slate says they are about to lose their progressive utopia that Obama was ushering us into. Good.
Paul Krugman, who is usually wrong about everything, has a moment of clarity:
What we do know is that people like me, and probably like most readers of The New York Times, truly didnt understand the country we live in.
America. It’s like a whole other country. And this is funny: The left chose the form of its destructor.
I honestly haven’t heard much from the Never Trump crowd.

Yeah, I’ve been reading the same stuff. IAW the peeps at The New York Times, Hilary lost because of “racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, stupid, misogynistic White People”.
Most of the opinion pieces I read at TNYT blamed Hillary’s loss on “a bunch of negative adjectives” White People.

“Trumpening” is present tense, so it remains proper.
