I've got no quarrel with mocking Trump in this way; presidents are supposed to be big boys able to take the punch, and Trump has an Ivy League degree and a gold-plated Manhattan penthouse. But going off like this on the voters is a really bad look in a democracy. https://twitter.com/JesseKellyDC/status/1222129453301686272 …

Abe Lincoln's belief in the dignity of every worker endeared him to working-class voters who didn't much like being sneered at.pic.twitter.com/qkGqryYX24

One reason we let every citizen vote is human dignity: everybody gets a say in how they're governed. But the other is humility: yes, lots of voters know very little. But *nobody* knows everything. Everyone is ignorant of *something*. That's why we need the wisdom of crowds.

I still blame Jon Stewart, more than anyone else, for mainstreaming the practice of targeting scorn at the other party's voters rather than principally at political leaders.

Agreed. I keep wondering at the outrage if conservatives had gone on Fox and talked about Obama supporters in this fashion. Let them laugh, I guess. I just wonder if they realize how badly this will piss off those “rubes” and mobilize them on Election Day.

It's Fox, not part of the "Media"? Is Right-wing radio not the "Media"? I hear the left it's described as snowflakes, triggered, baby killers, terrorist lovers, etc. Most liberals shrug it off. Mainly because the shoe doesn't fit....Maybe this offends many because it's true?
