Trump is Stranger than Fiction

The Trumpers never expected their guy to actually win the thing, and that’s
their problem now. They wanted only to whoop and yell, boo at the H-word,
wear profane T-shirts, maybe grab a crotch or two, jump in the RV with a
couple six-packs and go out and shoot some spotted owls. It was pleasure
enough for them just to know that they were driving us wild with dismay —
by “us,” I mean librarians, children’s authors, yoga practitioners,
Unitarians, bird-watchers, people who make their own pasta, opera goers,
the grammar police, people who keep books on their shelves, that bunch. The
Trumpers exulted in knowing we were tearing our hair out. They had our
number, like a bratty kid who knows exactly how to make you grit your teeth
and froth at the mouth.

Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will
fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who
elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens
next.
