College professors strike back

More Than Mortal · April 04, 2016, 11:51:10 AM

So the Guardian asked a bunch of secret Trump voters to explain why they are voting Trump. Here's a 50-year-old college professor from California:

Quote

I’m a liberal-left college professor in the social sciences. I’m going to vote for Trump but I won’t tell hardly anybody.

My main reason is anger at the two-party system and the horrible presidencies of Obama and Bush. But I’m also furious at political correctness on campus and in the media.

I’m angry at forced diversity and constant, frequently unjustified complaints about racism/sexism/homophobia/lack of trans rights. I’m particularly angry at social justice warriors and my main reason to vote Trump is to see the looks on your faces when he wins.

It’s not that I like Trump. It’s that I hate those who can’t stand him. I want them to suffer the shock of knowing all their torrents of blog posts and Tumblr bitch-fests and “I just can’t ...” and accusations of mansplaining didn’t actually matter. That they’re still losing. And that things are not getting better for them. They’re getting worse.

I agree to a point, but does anyone else feel some people saying 'political correctness' for anything racist or questionable they might be doing, is bad?

It's turned into a buzzword if you ask me.

Sure, people do that.

People also use the guise of pursuing political correctness in bad ways too. People are annoyed because it has become far, far too easy to get yourself branded as a bigot.

People should vote for him as a huge fuck you to the democratic process.

It's precisely why Labour in the UK and Bernie are getting hammered in the polls. Patience is running thin with the neo-leftie racist, sexism and SJW politics. Trump is a defence mechanism for these fucks, whether you agree with him or not.

I'm curious what trans rights complaints he has.

He seems to be using some words that lead me to believe this is a less than honest statement.

He doesn't sound like someone from academe

OH YEAH, LET'S ELECT THE LEAST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE JUST TO SPITE THOSE SJWS

THAT'LL SHOW 'EM

Citing one's lack of political correctness as one of your primary reasons for backing a candidate is so FUCKING stupid.

I mean, I dislike political correctness too. That doesn't mean you should vote for someone who incites violence at his rallies, believes global warming is a hoax, wants to spend billions of tax payer money on a useless wall, and capitalizes off of fear and anger.

What kind of stupid ass person votes for someone who they know is unqualified to annoy other people? Why would you let other people's opinions influence your vote? Isn't that letting them control you? If your reason for voting for someone begins with "I want them to suffer...", you're doing it wrong.
