I don’t have much to say on inauguration eve – I imagine I’m not the only progressive who’s feeling fatigued at this point. I’ll make one final point before we cede the Big Chair to the least-qualified and (one of the) least-liked president-elects in history. If any of the ‘stop whining, get over it’ crowd still needs a simple explanation to understand our concerns, consider this. The man sought a role that demands service to all Americans, and in fact he has recognized and acknowledged that on occasion. Yet still, in the past two weeks – long after his electoral victory was settled, and as his inauguration day approached – he made the following two comments (of course, via Twitter, and in the most petty and predictable way possible):
- “….but who cares, he supported Kasich and Hillary” – to Arnold Schwarzenegger
- “She is a Hillary flunky” – to Meryl Streep
There are several million Hillary flunkies, you senseless goon. In fact they outnumber your supporters by three million or so. This is the country.
