Trump voters, you are being scammed.

Put me firmly in the camp of people who don't understand how a sane person could choose DJ Trump over HR Clinton. I know we're supposed to try to understand you guys, I preach that myself, and I listen, I really do, but what I hear doesn't make any sense to my coastal elite mind. 

First, your complaints about the press.

I get it. You know how I get it? I feel exactly the same way. They don't listen to me either. They don't even bother to find out who I am. All they know is I'm not a journalist or a pundit or a candidate or pollster or political operator, therefore my opinion can't possibly matter. It's a shame because I see things they don't see, understand things they don't. So that isn't something special about people who live in the middle of the country. I want to blow up journalism. I think your candidate proves that we have to do that if we want to have a future. But he won't do it. Why should he? They're the reason he has a future in politics! Despite all the ugly things he says about them, get this -- he likes them. All he has to do is be entertaining, and they put him on TV. 

The press isn't so much "corrupt," they're scared and lazy and unimaginative and foremost they're employees. They work for the same guys that the Republicans and Trump (btw) do. You think they're going to look out for you? Hah! No they're not going to do that. They're going to look after the interests of their billionaire clients. Why? So they can retire with a fat bank account, and be one of them. You're going to get screwed just like before because you're buying the hype from the very same people who screwed you last time. So please spare me the bullshit about how what you're doing is a movement. Talk to me again in a few months if your guy wins. 

Am I being scammed by voting for Hillary? Yes I guess so, but to a lesser extent than you are. I'm getting something out of this, health insurance. I like ObamaCare. I have a pre-existing condition. Before ObamaCare, I basically had to live in Massachusetts, the only state that had ObamaCare before the country did. 

Your guy is playing a dangerous ugly game with your health. You need insurance too. And you might lose it if Trump is elected, and the Repubs are actually stupid enough to try to repeal ObamaCare. If they do, there's your proof that they don't love you. ObamaCare is for you and me. The rich guys hate it because they're babies. If it doesn't benefit them they don't want you to have it. Do you know Mr Burns on The Simpsons? That's who Trump really is. And his backers, even more so.

And Hillary is paid by the same people, but they don't like her (that's why they're backing Trump) not because they don't like the way she dresses or the way she looks or sounds, it's because she's also going to invest in rebuilding infrastructure and education and btw, those things do something that you say you want -- they create jobs, American jobs. Jobs for you and your family. She has a track record there. You might want to look past the bullshit your candidate spews and find out.

It might not be totally too late yet. 

Your supposed friends have already moved their money out of the US. They don't give a shit if you have a job. They just want to continue raiding the treasury of the US. As soon as they're done you won't hear from them again.

So go ahead and vote Republican if you must. But you won't have my respect. I think you're selling us out, in the worst way. If you vote for Hillary things will continue more or less as they have. If you vote for Hillary and a Democratic Congress, you'll get those jobs and your kids will get educated and if they get sick they'll get health care. That's the difference that matters. Forget the other stuff, about how relatable they are. You aren't hiring someone to take you out for coffee, you're hiring someone to run the economy and keep us out of wars.
