How much fail is in this NYT MoDo column? "Election Therapy from my Basket of Deplorables"

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/26/opinion/sunday/election-therapy-from-my-basket-of-deplorables.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region&region=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region

Check out the projection in these two paragraphs

"Preaching — and pandering — with a message of inclusion, the Democrats have instead become a party where incivility and bad manners are taken for granted, rudeness is routine, religion is mocked and there is absolutely no respect for a differing opinion. This did not go down well in the Midwest, where Trump flipped three blue states and 44 electoral votes.

The rudeness reached its peak when Vice President-elect Mike Pence was booed by attendees of “Hamilton” and then pompously lectured by the cast. This may play well with the New York theater crowd but is considered boorish and unacceptable by those of us taught to respect the office of the president and vice president, if not the occupants"

We're looking at linking up with family in CT. That is if everyone will be in one place at one time!

was the entire trump's campaign and republican platform that YOU conveniently ignored.

As for you Ms. Dowd, perhaps you should move out of New York, since they have a problem with racists and sexists, and you don't

She's consumed with Clinton hatred and just can't get over it. She's not funny, and her "insight" certainly isn't worth sharing.

I've hated her glib guts since 2000 and her faux-clever smearing of Al Gore. Fuck her.

Fuck that. Trump, Pence and their entire administration should be treated this way everywhere they go.
