The think pieces trickling in calling liberals out for losing because of an "elitist attitude" are terribly, terribly misguided. To vilify the young, moderately well-educated people that overwhelmingly voted for Hillary — most of whom are crippled by student debt — for not caring to understand the plight of the supposedly oppressed masses of middle America is bullshit. On the contrary, we are deeply thoughtful, we are deeply concerned, and we surely care about their well-being more than they care about anyone other than themselves. We are the ones racked with anxiety over climate change, over equality, over the fate of the world, and we therefore unequivocally occupy a moral high ground when all is said and done. It is now high time we begin vilifying the “Trumpisti” and their retrograde “values” of anti-intellectualism, fear, and every man for himself. This will be a rough four years, but i still believe the idealists, the readers, the travelers, and the artists own the future. On pense, donc on est. [One thinks, so one is]
