An Open Letter By A #NeverHillary Supporter Who Is Definitely Not Vladimir Putin

(from Samantha Bee)

Hello. It is I, normal American voter of age group Millennium. Name Doug or something.

My guys, can you believe latest scandal in campaign of Hillary Clinton? This scandal is all my millennial friends talk about, as well as her many other scandals, and “Game of Thrones.” It is hot topic of conversation and snapchats when we get together to trade cassettes at hottest new borscht place (we are “foodies”).

We do not like Hillary Clinton, but not because she is woman, no no. We are young Americans with soft hands who do not think it is shameful to vote for a female who has never strangled a wolf. No, we do not like her because of the content of these emails.

These emails show that the Democratic National Committee has rigged the election in favor of Hillary Clinton! Shame! Shame! I will never vote for her, and neither will any of my friends in backwards baseball caps! It is wrong to rig elections, and not sensible and normal! I love basketball!

It is not important who hacked these emails or why. My friends Doug and Doug and my girlfriend Beyonce and I all agree on this. “What if it was the Russian government? Wouldn’t that be a frightening indication that Vladimir Putin is attempting to destabilize an American election and tip the balance in favor of Donald Trump, whose anti-NATO stance would potentially make it easier for Russia to invade countries in the old Soviet bloc?” absolutely none of us said.

We were too busy playing Pokemon: Go!

We know nothing of Putin, except of course that he is handsome and strong, like a robot with tigers for hands, and Beyonce has many times dreamed of him shirtless upon his majestic horse.

We know only that we will never, ever, ever vote for Hillary Clinton. It is very important to our principles to not vote for this shame-woman. No matter if this means the election of Mr. Donald Trump. No matter who this hurts.

Or who it helps.

See you at the Justin Bieber concert!

Your definitely American friend,
Doug

I like someone who states his or her motives right up front.  However, that does not connect with the rest of the letter.  Read on...

But you see, indicting the DNC is not indicting HRC.  I too believe that Debbie Wasserman Shultz was/is a crook. She was/is totally biased. She fought unfairly.  

But I see the writer has failed to make the connection to Hillary. Have you ever had someone on your side, who fights unfairly? It's an embarrassment. You appreciate their support, but detest their methods. Dr. Clinton did what what right in dismissing Debbie Wasserman Shultz, but it's unfair to paint her with this transgression.

Yes, it is important. But it's a separate issue. What you mean is, it's not important to you. And therein is the disjointedness of this kind of thinking. Incomplete. Dropping, or adding facts. Presumptions instead of proof.

That is what politics does to fook up one's mind...if you let it.  Irrational connections.  Unchallenged hypotheses.  Presumptions of guilt.  All irrational pieces to the jig saw puzzle—none fitting one another, but all afloat in a disorganized mind.  It's the same thing that love does, or any intimate subject.

But keep in mind that this was also the path for Germany, in 1932.  Or Italy in 1922.  Or pockets of ideology, such as the racism of the American south, that take hold of a segment or segments of the population, which then join and merge such inconsistent thinking.

Hmmmm.
