    Is there a name for this weird grouping some of you are using to cope? “‘You’ fuckers” “‘They’ are going to see now”, like it’s not xenophobia, it’s not particularly racism, but definitely feels like a flavor of it. It’s like a fan upset their team lost and is blaming the crowd, but feels more nefarious.

      It’s smug online liberal racism. They’re not saying it explicitly but you see the veil start to drop when anyone mentions American Arabs and Muslims.

      I wonder what demographics specifically they’re thinking about when they say “they’ll get what they voted for”? Obviously since some groups had a different set of priorities or principles than the too-online democrat they’re intellectually inferior and didn’t understand what they were doing. It’s not the party or the candidate’s fault they weren’t elected, it’s that “the people” were too stupid to vote for her!
