Amy Curtis THREAD TIME
THIS what this has ALWAYS been about: guys like Tom spent YEARS forcing milquetoast candidates on us, candidates who didn’t care about the voters they supposedly represented.
So when Trump came along, the fed up electorate turned their backs on the so-called “experts.”

A thread where Tom explains why it’s more important to punish the right than save the country from communism.
After the Bush years (yay, endless war and suppressive surveillance state!) they gave us John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Guys who never met a Democrat they wouldn’t compromise with.
“XZY issue isn’t the hill to die on!” screamed guys like Tom and their preferred politicians. Meanwhile, the Left ran roughshod over the political landscape.
“Just shut up and take it!” said guys like Tom. “I’m the expert here!”
After years of this, Trump came along.
Brash, crass, and completely not like the jerks the Washington Generals of Punditry demanded we settle for time and again. It wasn’t perfect, but it was different.
Having been kicked in the head repeatedly by guys like Tom, voters decided to say * it. Why should we listen to pundits who don’t really give a * about anything other than rubbing elbows in DC?”
This made Tom SO MAD. How dare the little people he constantly sneers at defy him!
He’s the EXPERT!
How dare they pretend to know their lives and needs and political preferences better than him!
He wouldn’t set foot in their hometowns, but he knows how to run them!
So rather than take two minutes for some introspection — to realize maybe voters wanted something other than a rehash of Romney or Bush or McCain — Tom lashed out.
“I bear no responsibility for how we got here, even though I’m the self-proclaimed expert!”
Since 2016, the entire raison d’etre of guys like Tom has been to punish the voters for defying him.
That’s it.
He — and many of his cohort and colleagues — are out for revenge.
It’s not more complicated than that.
Tom and friends don’t give a * if you can’t afford food. If you lose private health insurance. If Kamala Harris wrecks the country. In their eyes, we *deserve* it for not obeying them.
They, at least economically, are insulated from it.
This is a middle finger to US.
But the Left — once Tom and crew stop being useful — will destroy them.
The Left always does.
In his conceit and arrogance, Tom thinks he’ll either avoid this by being a good foot soldier or the right will forgive and forget.
We won’t. But we’ll vote for Trump to stop Kamala.And Tom will benefit from that.
He’ll still be a spiteful, ungrateful prick.
But he’ll also continue to enjoy not paying insane capital gains taxes.
My vote for Trump is not *for* him. It’s *against* Kamala and it’s also *against* guys like Tom who — after years of * candidates and “compromises” — STILL think they can tell me how to run my life.
It’s against guys who have the audacity to admit this entire thing is about punishing us for not kissing their rings.
Guys like Tom deserve nothing but contempt and scorn. When Karma comes a-knockin’, it’ll come HARD.
Enjoy it when it does.
