No, it isn't. Being able and willing to tell the truth has never been the problem.

The man just elected is a derelict. A twice impeached, incompetent, convicted criminal. A tool of Russian propaganda. This is fact. The people who elected him knew this or should have known it.

Anyone can be randomly abusive-- Trump does this all the time. Literally every day. It's documented. It's fact. That's not what I am doing.

My contempt is warranted.

It is indeed a problem if you want to win an election.


You could as easily say "behaving peacefully" is a problem, or refusing to cheat.

I don't want to win an election. I'm not running for anything. I'm emoting about something any decent person should also be emoting over.


Calling people "garbage" is unacceptable.

I fail to see how 'Trump does it' is supposed to be any kind of ethical argument.


It's not unacceptable. Electing garbage is unacceptable. Get your priorities straight.
