One of many, many infuriating parts of having Trump as the President is the insufferable smugness of conservatives. When they're not telling you to "suck it up, snowflake" or trying to sell you fake news, they're gloating: "We suffered for eight years under that tyrant Obummer. Now it's your turn."

One man, Scott Mednick had enough with his Republican acquaintances and penned this powerful response:

"I am surprised you would wish suffering upon me. That, of course, is your right, I suppose. I do not wish harm on anyone. Your statement seems to continue the 'US v THEM' mentality. The election is over. It is important to get past campaigning and campaign rhetoric and get down to what is uniting, not dividing and what is best for ALL Americans.


There will never be a President who does everything to everyone's liking. There are things President Obama (and President Clinton) did that I do not like and conversely there are things I can point to that the Presidents Bush did that I agree with. So I am not 100% in lock step with the outgoing President but have supported him and the overall job he did.

And, if you recall, during the Presidential Campaign back in 2008 the campaign was halted because of the "historic crisis in our financial system." Wall Street bailout negotiations intervened in the election process. The very sobering reality was that there likely could be a Depression and the world financial markets could collapse. The United States was losing 800,000 jobs a month and was poised to lose at least 10 million jobs the first year once the new President took office. We were in an economic freefall. So let us recall that ALL of America was suffering terribly at the beginning of Obama's Presidency....

1. We'd be very lucky if we "suffered" the next 4 years like they "suffered" during the past 8 years.

Unfortunately, I think the bottom 95% of all Americans will be much, much worse off come January 20, 2021 than they were on January 20, 2017.

2. Their response to that will be derisive mimicry and a homophobic slur

These people don't care. Politics is a football game where they have red shirts and we have blue because it never threatens their white rural male bubble, and probably never will.

3. They only respond to emotionalism and this is too cerebral.

Too many big words. Nice use of facts, but facts mean nothing to Trumpets.
