Will Witt from PragerU recently went to New York and asked a bunch of random people this question. The result was this video, and holy heck. I’m not even a Republican, and I’m infuriated.
We have a word for people who don’t tolerate anyone who disagrees with them. It’s INTOLERANT.
We have a word for people who only make friends with people who think and believe exactly the way that they do. It’s CLOSED-MINDED.
We have a word for people who are so convinced that they’re morally superior to everyone else that they won’t even consider an opposing point of view. It’s BIGOTED.
This is why Trump is your president, you intolerant, closed-minded bigots. After eight years of putting up with your side’s hypocrisy, the rest of us got so sick of it that we voted for the one guy who tells it like he sees it.
Trump may be an asshole, but at least he isn’t a hypocrite about it. You, on the other hand…
To be fair, there’s no way to tell how many of the people Will Witt interviewed were as asinine as the people in the video. All we’ve got are a bunch of anecdotes, and the plural of anecdote is not data.
But still. Holy heck.
I imagine more sane individuals would avoid being interviewed, so it is a self selecting pool of people.
