FYI, this article may have ulterior motivations. The author is a leftist political writer (has supported violent resistance to Trump[1], compared him to a toilet full of feces and declared America fascist[2]). There has recently been a scuffle around NDT's tweet defending Americans who support Trump[3].
This is not to dismiss the contents of the article, but to provide context.

- nycthbris 11y agoWow that redstate article is a stretch. Of course people against Trump for president don't want other people to vote for Trump.
- to3m 11y agoThe article seemed pretty transparent to me: the author thinks NDT is dumb.
