So, let me get this straight.

Donald Trump can call Mexican rapists, can call for a ban on Muslims, and court the white supremacist vote by not IMMEDIATELY disavowing David Duke. Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate who signed Indiana’s Religious Freedom Bill in law, refused to call David Duke ‘deplorable’.  Donald Trump’s supporters at rallies can assault black protesters; they can scream ‘hang the bitch’ about Hillary Clinton, ‘fuck that n-” about Barack Obama, and call Islam not a religion.

YET

YET

When Hillary Clinton says:

You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable. But thankfully they are not America.

SHE IS THE ONE THAT TRUMP IS DEMANDING AN APOLOGY FROM? THIS IS THE STATEMENT THAT TRUMP FIRED BACK AS “VICIOUSLY DEMONIZED” AMERICANS AND THEN SAID:

“The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed toward millions of Americans disqualifies her from public service. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter.  You can’t lead this nation if you have such a low opinion of its citizens.”

AND

THE CABLE NEW MEDIA ARE JUST REPORTING IT AS NORMAL NEWS.  IN THE `~*~*~**~*~ILLUUUUUSION~*~*~*~* OF BALANCE THEY ARE LETTING TRUMP SUPPORTERS DRAG CLINTON FOR HER COMMENTS.

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?

I have an eleven year old nephew.  He gets into shit all the time.  And my sister, whenever I call him out on it, tells me to stop.  She tells me: “He’s an eleven year old boy.”  So.  How is he going to learn if you don’t teach him? What type of kid will he grow up to be if you let him think this shit is okay at eleven? What, he’s going to turn eighteen and suddenly see the fucking light?

Stop validating this bullshit.

It’s the SAME THING for Donald Trump.

Stop treating Donald Trump like a serious candidate.  Treat him like the side-show demagogue he is.  Stop dragging political and social disclosure down.  Call a spade a spade.  Call a racist a racist.  Call a sexist a sexist.

Not all news needs a fair and balanced approach.  Not all topics need to be examined from both sides.  As AWESOME as Relativism is, sometimes, sometimes there is only Absolutism, only Idealism.

Just…

ARGH.
