NYT Times ed. blog: You're all a bunch of racist, misogynistic, backward, hillbillies.

Much more in the same vein at link.

You know what Paul, you're right...this is a failed state, filled with two groups of people who distrust and despise each other on sight.

So, go.

Secede.

Unlike your type, we won't stop you with government guns.

We still don’t know who will win the electoral college, although as I write this it looks — incredibly, horribly — as if the odds now favor Donald J. Trump. What we do know is that people like me, and probably like most readers of The New York Times, truly didn’t understand the country we live in. We thought that our fellow citizens would not, in the end, vote for a candidate so manifestly unqualified for high office, so temperamentally unsound, so scary yet ludicrous.

We thought that the nation, while far from having transcended racial prejudice and misogyny, had become vastly more open and tolerant over time.

We thought that the great majority of Americans valued democratic norms and the rule of law.

It turns out that we were wrong. There turn out to be a huge number of people — white people, living mainly in rural areas — who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about. For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy. And there were many other people who might not share those anti-democratic values, but who nonetheless were willing to vote for anyone bearing the Republican label.

I don’t know how we go forward from here. Is America a failed state and society? It looks truly possible. I guess we have to pick ourselves up and try to find a way forward, but this has been a night of terrible revelations, and I don’t think it’s self-indulgent to feel quite a lot of despair.

I'm confused, is he talking about Trump or Hillary???

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

The explosive shrieking from the left over Trump will sustain me for years.

[lilymc]

Yeah, talk like that is all over twitter.

So many libs saying things like "Good job America, electing a sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, bigoted president."

Never mind the fact that they support a warmongering criminal with an ever-growing body count list, by golly, she's not a bigot!

Some Silicon Valley managers actually tweeted about California secession now that DJT is POTUS.

Please, by all means, go already.

Tolerance by force isn't tolerance by choice.

Sweet! It would guarantee him reelection.

Silicon Valley is in trouble. No more sucking the government tit. I'd be $#@!ting my pants right now.

[fatjohn]

Its funny but if women were not so sexist, Bernie would have been the nominee and if blacks weren't so racist and vote as much for Clinton as for Obama Clinton would have won the general.

I hope we can put this rhetoric to rest going forward.

Go $#@! yourself, Paul.

I didn't vote, least of all for Trump and I don't particularly care for the guy, but I am so damned sick and tired of hearing garbage like that such that I'm almost glad Trump won, just to ruin that $#@!'s day.

[timosman]

Pay for play =/= rule of law.

What a dip$#@!.

[alucard13mm]

That article is exactly why Trump won.. People is tired with them accusing people with different views as being/supporting patriarchy and racism. It is exactly why I voted for Trump instead of writing in Ron or writing in Gary previously.

You don't want to marry or date a transgender girl?! HORRIBLE BIGOT!

How do you mean? It's pretty much like that. We are living in a very divided society.

[UWDude]

Why are all these people threatening to move to Canada instead of Mexico? They go to Mexico for vacations. It's warmer.

Maybe because they are racists.

Projection.

[timosman]

The division is artificial. It is time to realize sucking the globalist dick is not very useful.

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy.

[Jamesiv1]

Yes we are. The 1% versus everybody else.

I didn't either, but I'm going to enjoy the $#@! out of listening to and reading the progressive left's wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[Southron]

It's funny because the diagnosis from the Romney loss was the Republicans needed a lot more minority support to win.

[Tywysog Cymru]

They do in the near future. This is one of the last times where Republicans can get away with only getting white voters.

NYT is an intelligent, honest media outlet and Iraq has yellow cake WMDs.


Idiots.

An Unfinished Presidency: Obama Passes the Baton

Hillary Clinton has an 84% chance of winning the presidency. ... White House aides point to what they call the highlights of that progress: ...

We need to overturn birthright citizenship like most nations have. Ron Paul is right.
