Proof: The Election Drove Half the Country Crazy and They're Not Coming Back

The show American Horror Story, which few watch any more and fewer talk about, will use election night 2016 as the horror, dread, and existential panic in every liberal's and NeverTrumper's permanently-infarcted hearts.

What is the thing that scares you the most?, an unknown voice asks in the beginning of the trailer.

"It is now official," a newsman says on TV, as if in response to the question. "Donald Trump is now the president of the United States."

And then the main character issues a primal scream.

Not even making this up. The trailer is embedded below the fold.

Apparently Donald Trump's election then reveals a sinister cult intent on terrorizing white liberals.

The first moment of American Horror Story: Cult is chill-inducing.
"I am running for president of the United States!" announces Donald Trump.
"I am running for president of the United States!" echoes Hillary Clinton.
No matter what side of the aisle, the flashback footage of the actual 2016 presidential campaign is an eerie place-setter, a reminder of how far away that moment in history feels in today's divided America.
As promised, the seventh season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck's FX anthology series kicks off with a minute-long ramp-up to 2016 election night. Using real footage of then-candidates Trump and Clinton, highlights down memory lane include mentions of Trump's wall, Clinton's emails and a growing "palpable fear" as protestors on both sides clash. "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK? It's like incredible," Trump says. The statement, so attacked at the time, now serves as a reminder that hindsight is 20-20.

Kai Anderson (Evan Peters) is sitting on the edge of his basement couch listening to Fox News as the chuckling anchors declare Trump the 45th president of the United States, winner of the most "unreal" and "surreal" election America has ever seen.
"The revolution has begun," Kai says softly. He then humps his big-screen TV, his blue hair thrusting in the air. "Fuck you world!" he screams before chanting "USA! USA!"
Over at the Mayfair-Richards' house, Ally (Sarah Paulson), her wife, Ivy (Alison Pill), young son Oz and their liberal-leaning friends are holding out hope, glued to MSNBC. "I won't believe anything until I hear Rachel Maddow say it, she's the only one I trust," says Ally before Pennsylvania is called. "It's the politics of fear, it always works," says her stunned friend, the Asian-American head council member in the show's Michigan-set town, population 10,000.
When MSNBC announces Clinton's concession phone call, Ally watches with tears in her eyes as Trump takes the stage, horror music at full swell. "Go to hell Huffington Post! Fuck you Nate Silver!" screams Ally as she falls, debilitated, to her knees. "Oh God, how could they have been so wrong about this!"

Later, it will be revealed that much to Ivy's dismay, Ally quietly voted for Green Party candidate Jill] Stein -- Murphy shining his season-seven spotlight on one parcel of American voters forced to face their own complicity in the election results. The council member also screams at his wife for not voting: "Look at our friends on the couch and tell them that they might not be able to maintain their rights as a married couple because you were too busy playing on Etsy to go vote!"
Kai, meanwhile, is busy mashing up bags of Cheetos in a blender, using the crumbs as orange makeup while he practices his "yuge" impression of Trump in the mirror. His sister, Winter Anderson (Billie Lourd), devoted her college semester to campaigning for Clinton. "She was supposed to win, is this really happening?" the depressed coed tells a friend before being interrupted by Kai. He then asks her to link pinky fingers. "I'm just so scared now," she says. "Everyone is," he replies with a smile.

These are not mentally-healthy people. Progressivism has always been more of mental crutch for the psychologically weak and mentally stunted than any kind of real politics -- it's basically just a primal scream about one's own perceived (or actual) inadequacy -- but now they're pretty much just coming out and admitting that.

Well, sure. Who becomes a psychiatrist because they're sane? Nobody, that's who.

Compare/contrast with Stephen King, a better writer when drunk and clearly about eight stoned monkeys short of a jungle palm tree - the guy who directed a movie of his own work that had evil alien-possessed trucks terrorizing Wilmington rednecks.

As his highly political, insular, and bigoted insanity has gotten more formulaically lefty and not just "normally" cuckoo for cocoa puffs, his horror has become *less* good.

Because Trump hasn't done anything remotely frightening, unlike, say, giving bribe money to Iran, while allowing them to continue their nuclear weapons production, or arming drug cartels in Mexico, or allowing unvetted immigrants to storm the borders and force citizens to pay for them...

Those things are frightening to me. But everything these simpletons are complaining about won't happen. Gay marriage isn't going to be reversed, rights aren't being taken away, so what exactly is so horrifying about the current political climate to them?

I don't like that way of phrasing it. They have slowly driven themselves crazy, in the background. This election merely brought that to light, like lifting up a rock and seeing what's beneath it.

So this conflict was inevitable. Regardless of what pushback the left would have received, whether it be this election or someone remonstrating with a libtard relative, it would always have reached a point of conflict. Because they have abandoned civility, objective laws, and have redefined words that warrant one in becoming outraged.

And can't you please respond to my comment on Correia about the Kaiju Lit panel? Some details please?

The Kaiju Lit panel, I arrived a little late to - held up. Mostly, it was about things like Kaiju weaknesses, how to structure the stories around them, how to write for various levels of intelligence vs. more "alien" intelligences or a more reactive type of organism, etc. Lots of fun notes from the guy who was a Godzilla comics artist. There was a kid in the audience who can't have been more than eight who suggested catching a kaiju's mouth open via helicopter for the purposes of nuking it from the inside out.

Larry said that that kid had a monster hunting (or at least kaiju fic) future.

Some of Larry's notes were on how a lot of the kaiju tropes really don't work as well in writing, because if you do something really dumb the reader can double back - unlike film. He said that when he was watching the Godzilla film Which Shall Not Be Mentioned in the theater with his wife, *she* was the one who yelled during the chasing-helicopter scene "TRY. GOING. UP!"

Between that, and some very dumb things (like flying abreast on approach to Skull Island), he had a lot of thoughts about revisiting the tropes in ways that make them better for writing, because the film version don't always make sense.

In every day of their lives, there has been a supermarket full of food, clear water that comes out of the sink, lights that come on when the switch is flipped, and a Mall to go to when they get bored. Comfort, security and real life reduced to a 3"x4" screen.
They live in a separate world from the rest of the planet. And when reality hits them, as it did last November, they cannot cope.
Very sad, and a bit alarming. It would be funny if it didn't undermine the security of everyone.

You got that right. It was pretty ugly what they said, especially Van Jones. He's hateful.

Posted by: ALH at September 06, 2017 04:01 PM (3DLPl)

Jones called it a 'whitelash" against the nation's first black president..." and thereby gave the game away.
You see, it wasn't love or devotion to Hillary that reduced all liberals to tears. They realized instantaneously that Trump's victory meant that Obama's legacy would be dismantled piece by piece. Hillary's election would have been seen as Obama's "third term"--and thus an affirmation of Obama's greatness.
Jones might be a hater, but he's not stupid. He immediately saw Trump's victory for what it was----
a complete repudiation of Obama.

Gojira and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms are not magical. They are living organisms who have adapted. Sure in the 1953 movie it is nuclear testing which thaws out a dinosaur who finds the lure of the Big Apple irresistible. Gojira is a dinosaur that managed to adapt to radiation.

I could tell that Trump was going to win Florida when Hillary was still ahead, because the polls in the panhandle hadn't closed yet. These Young Turk idiots had no idea of how it works, and had no idea that the heavily-R panhandle would come in late and heavy for Trump.

When the East only had Hilly with a small lead and the West was still to come, it was obvious Trump would take Florida. At that time, PA was out, and VA was still in play...that was the point that I could see Trump was on a path to win.

If you don't understand the Florida fundamentals of electoral horseracing, you really aren't qualified to be a 'pundit.'

269 VIA, my initial advice to T-Rump was to remain silent on the DACA crap, for as long as possible, and if practical give off some ambiguous body language. All to encourage the problem to self-attrit. Which it probably has, a bit. And will, a bit more, with yesterday's announcement.

Because very few people seem to have any practical smarts, or actually look at info that's available. "Liberals" et al are particularly meek little bots who are easily herded and spooked. So some will be fleeing.

But my main interest remains knowing what conceivable actual political strategy is at work here. The way you dynamite the GOPe dams in Congress is to put them on the spot, for *things you and your voters want that are actually central*. Ya know, like tying DACA amnesty to all your critical immigration priorities (border barrier, RAISE enactment, Kate's Law, effective crushing of "sanctuary" lawlessness, funding for massive internal enforcement at workplaces, E-verify being mandatory and national).

If I'm Ryan or McConnell, I rush through a DACA "fix" right now, this cycle. Look, you're already counting on "brazening" your way to re-election, notwithstanding completely eviscerating the new administration's agenda. Just make sure to do something like a tax cut of some kind, and point to Trump's enthusiastic - hell, maybe it'll even become tearful - embrace of the DACA fix, for "cover".

It's actually funny, it's so illogical, but the masses of pretty clueless Trump-bots on other websites are celebrating the brilliant political strategery ..... how GOP incumbents giving Trump a DACA fix he will happily sign (without any conditions) is somehow going to be the silver bullet that removes incumbents? Huh?

274 [i253 Once Trump has it just about locked up the MFM immediately swings to the white people hate
Posted by: TheQuietMan]

Way way way back in February 2016, I wrote this essay, http://www.zombietime.com/inside_the_anti-trump_circus/, in which I said:

"Trump = Nazi" Is Already Mandatory

...and with this amazingly prescient commentary - like I had a time machine:

"Normally, a debate only descends to "Godwinization" (comparing your opponent to a Nazi) as a final desperate measure when all other arguments have failed and all lesser insults have been exhausted. In contemporary politics, calling someone a Nazi is the most extreme position you can take.

But when it comes to Trump's opponents, their starting point is to call Trump a Nazi; the general election hasn't even yet begun, and the anti-Trump rhetoric is already turned up to 11.

It's kind of hard to imagine where the conversation will go from here. How can you amplify your rhetoric when the very first thing you say is the most extreme put-down you can conjure?

A textbook example of the logical fallacy known as Reductio ad Hitlerum.

Clear enough for you? (Notice that this particular attempt at a swastika has an intriguing extra bend in its lower leg. Is this a tentative experiment at designing a new kind of ultra-swastika which applies only to Trump — or mere sign-making incompetence?)

Some protesters, trying to think outside the Nazi box, got creative and called Trump a mere "Fascist," but on the political insult scale, "Fascist" is actually a slight step down from "Nazi." It's truly quite a conundrum; once you've gone full Nazi, any further elaboration of your argument only softens the insult. So you're stuck saying "Nazi Nazi Nazi" over and over with no variation.

Bingo! Here's a solution: The term "KKK" is the only political insult nearly on a par with "Nazi," so expect to see a lot of this in the upcoming months."

I was a liberal in high school. Then mainly apathetic about politics - I probably would have said both sides were crooks (without having a realistic conception of the uniparty).

It was only during Obama. I saw objectively what he was trying to *do* and then I saw how the media was *spinning* things and using language in certain ways ... and a whole bunch of red flags went off.

Do you really think a mere television show can shock people into thinking in a careful, disciplined manner? I think they need an "aha!" moment. I'm hoping that with PDT's trolling, the MSM will provide many such moments. I doubt it would come from a tv series, thought.

Mostly, he was referring to the temptation to make a kaiju piece hard scifi, and then running smack into the square cube law, or requiring the kaiju to move slowly, etc. etc. Because unless very exotic things are going on, kaiju are very speculative as a speculative fiction.

By having an extra-dimensional giant beastie or a magic one, you don't even have to ward off suspension of disbelief at all, because if the audience is with you as far as "extradimensional" or "magic"...

As to specials, Daiei kind of cheated with Gamera, I've always thought - most of his enemies stuck to the one-gimmick rule, but Gamera's tusks, implausible martial arts skills, whole toolset of rocket powers... total god-moding.

Really? The 2016 election was when America felt divided? It didn't begin sometime before then, like, say, years and decades before?

Look, sugartits. Trump brought nothing, essentially, except a giant middle finger to the failure theater and moralizing of a corrupt, hypocritical class of miscreants and a-holes determined to box normal, working people out of debate and money. America has been divided, the silent majority oppressed for numerous election cycles. Trump was and is the culmination of their frustration. Whether Trump remains or disappears, that anger is not going away and no pinheaded, baseless smear campaign against him will have any effect whatsoever. Trump is a sign, not the symptom.

Oh, and the Super Kroger near me is completely out of fuel, and they're running low on dog and cat food.

by which he of course meant "Trump voters".

339 The Young Turks election night video is instructive. The Young Turks despised Hillary for her anti-Bernie antics and they loathed her DNC puppets as well.

But ...

When it came down to Election Night, they were gobsmacked to the point of tears. After the numbness started to wear away, Cenk Uygur started shouting for the end of the Democratic Party. That was the funny part.

342 Trump has two choices.

He can wield the power of the Presidency to force his enemies to their knees. Just like BHO tried to do.

While there is some measure of delicious revenge in that notion , I don't want the pendulum to come swinging back and crush us by the actions of an actual , functional libtarded commie president.

The other option is what we are seeing right now. Make himself look positively reasonable and acceptable next to their insanity.

Of course, at lower levels, there's an "ATM" in the Book of Wondrous Inventions, not too hard to convert to 3.5. Such a lovely jackass thing.

352 It's kind of hard to imagine where the conversation will go from here. How can you amplify your rhetoric when the very first thing you say is the most extreme put-down you can conjure?

A textbook example of the logical fallacy known as Reductio ad Hitlerum.

Clear enough for you?

The nice thing is that this goes beyond mere rhetoric.

So you can point out to other people: "these nuts have actually convinced themselves that not wanting criminal illegals to have sanctuary in their country, as almost every other nation does, is the *equivalent* of taking citizens in your country and stuffing them inside of gas chambers".

It is more than just them suffering from premature rhetorical ejaculation. They are *revealing* the insane equivalences that they have brainwashed themselves into believing.

364 Look, I'll say this - I watched the last season of this show...and it was great. A terrific meta commentary on reality TV, and the horrors of the unbalanced people that are so eager to be on it, and the liberal Hollywood people that make it. Savage.

I wouldn't take anything on it's face here - American Horror has shown it can be downright hostile toward progressives and their shibboleths. My guess is it will show extremism feeding on extremism. Probably end with the liberal woman eagerly joining/sacrificing herself to the cult.

365 "I wouldn't take anything on it's face here - American Horror has shown it can be downright hostile toward progressives and their shibboleths."

My husband binge-watched the first 2 or 3 seasons on Amazon Prime some time ago... I seem to recall that at least one episode actually portrayed abortion as an evil, contrary to leftist dogma.

If the cult portrayed in the series is (as I have heard) a cult of women out to exterminate men, my guess is that they will turn out to be feminists driven over the edge by Trump's election -- which means the libs in this case would be the bad guys, er, gals, er, whatever.
