Explaining to your child why you let Trump become president.
Kid: So people didn't always live in tents and mud huts?
Parent: No, before Trump people had homes. And there were stores where you could buy food, you didn't have to forage for nuts and berries.
K: So why did Trump come?
P: People voted for him, and not enough people voted to stop him.
K: You voted to stop him, right dad?
P: Er, no. You see, the other candidate was Clinton, and she only wanted a minimum wage of $12, but a lot of us wanted $15.
K: So what is the minimum wage now?
P: Now there is no minimum wage.
K: Isn't $12 better than $0?
P: Don't be silly, all that matters is $15. Think of it this way. You know how if you're playing ball, and it's not going just the way you want, you take the ball and run home so nobody gets to have any fun?
K: I stopped doing that when I turned 11. And this isn't some stupid game.
P: Well, it was kind of a game back then. Besides, we needed everything to burn down so that the revolution would come.
K: What's the revolution?
P: That's when the people rise up and overthrow the oligarchs.
K: What are the oligarchs?
P: You know the Joneses over there? They used to be oligarchs. Mr Jones used to have a job doing medical research for Big Pharma and had a nice house and a fancy car. And now he's living in a tent and starving like everyone else. Revolution!
K: This revolution sucks. I don't like living in a tent.
P: Don't be so ungrateful. Before the revolution, we had a slightly smaller house than the Joneses. Now we have the same size tent. Everyone is equal now.
K: But my sister is sick, and she's going to die because there's no medicine.
P: And I feel bad about that. But before the revolution, there was Obamacare, which made profits for greedy insurance companies.
K: But with Obamacare my sister would be able to see a doctor.
P: You're missing the point, son. It wasn't single payer, so it had to be burned down.
K: But now we have nothing, and my sister is going to die!
P: Stop being so negative. We have the revolution. Isn't it glorius?

You had to know how irresponsible and untrustworthy those terrible Bernie people were, yet you assumed they would behave better come the General --
Really, it's all your fault we get President Trump. You knew we were going to throw a temper tantrum, so your choice was to either give in, or elect Trump, and you let it happen.

Their parents sure got taught a lesson though! Not that this seems to give any Hillary supporter any pause.
Either -- You Sanders supporters are just a fringe of dirty hippie millennials, and we don't need you. We don't need to listen to you or cater to you. We'll win the General Election without you selfish leftist scum.
Or -- We need everyone to come together to vote to Stop Trump. Your vote is critical. If you don't vote for Clinton you're guilty of electing Trump.
The mixed messages all get so confusing.
