What We're Seeing On Election Day [Schadenfraude]
The New York Times ^ | November 8, 2016 | The Deep State

Posted on 11/08/2016 8:37:55 PM PST by JOHN ADAMS

It turns out that we were wrong. There turn out to be a huge number of people — white people, living mainly in rural areas — who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about. For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy. And there were many other people who might not share those anti-democratic values, but who nonetheless were willing to vote for anyone bearing the Republican label.

I don’t know how we go forward from here. Is America a failed state and society? It looks truly possible. I guess we have to pick ourselves up and try to find a way forward, but this has been a night of terrible revelations, and I don’t think it’s self-indulgent to feel quite a lot of despair.

Dear New York Times:

Die. Just die.

They don’t understand a thing about us. God and country and we judge people based on their character not their color!

We’re having too much fun dumpster-diving channels we never watch: CNN still looking for hillary votes to come in from Joe’s Bar in Detroit on their fancy interactive map, stephy sniveling on ABC & pruney cokie trying out SEXISM for why hillary isn’t getting votes (we knew that would happen) ... More priceless moments. Best is Fox Business for good coverage.

I swear, they are all deranged! They live in an alternate universe, they really think they are the “normal” ones.

The tears taste delicious.

Even still the line is 'we now see we don't understand rural America - we didn't know how RACIST it is.'

They still don't understand rural America. Good. Continue the name calling and the blindness. It's benefitted us in this election greatly. But they don't know, what they THINK they've realized ... is just a deeper version of what they were already wrong about. They are doubling down on being blind ... if it's possible to be twice blind.

It turns out that we were wrong.

Did the NY Times ever make this apology to the victims of the Soviet gulags and Communist purges?
