la Clinton e i democrats pensano "bene, ha funzionato pure stavolta, ora al lavoro" e giù con il massacro sociale.
Comunque su questo io sono pure d'accordo in linea di principio. Come ti ho già detto, non è che non vedo alcun merito nella posizione nella quale ci si rifiuta di scegliere il meno peggio, anzi. Si tratta solo di dove piazzare l'asticella che per me con Trump – che
non è la stessa cosa di un Romney o un McCain – è stata ampiamente superata.
Posto sotto un articolo, non perché essendo del New Yorker vada (o non vada) preso sul serio, ma solo perché riassume in buona parte i miei sentimenti, a parte forse il giudizio troppo edulcorato sulla Clinton (e tu mi dirai: "Ed è proprio lì che...").

"In the coming days, commentators will attempt to normalize this event. They will try to soothe their readers and viewers with thoughts about the "innate wisdom" and "essential decency" of the American people. They will downplay the virulence of the nationalism displayed, the cruel decision to elevate a man who rides in a gold-plated airliner but who has staked his claim with the populist rhetoric of blood and soil. George Orwell, the most fearless of commentators, was right to point out that public opinion is no more innately wise than humans are innately kind. People can behave foolishly, recklessly, self-destructively in the aggregate just as they can individually. Sometimes all they require is a leader of cunning, a demagogue who reads the waves of resentment and rides them to a popular victory."
"For eight years, the country has lived with Barack Obama as its President. Too often, we tried to diminish the racism and resentment that bubbled under the cyber-surface. But the information loop had been shattered. On Facebook, articles in the traditional, fact-based press look the same as articles from the conspiratorial alt-right media. Spokesmen for the unspeakable now have access to huge audiences. This was the cauldron, with so much misogynistic language, that helped to demean and destroy Clinton. The alt-right press was the purveyor of constant lies, propaganda, and conspiracy theories that Trump used as the oxygen of his campaign."
