The Washington Post saw fit to publish these bitter rantings.
So he won. The nation takes a deep breath. Raw ego and proud illiteracy have won out, and a severely learning-disabled man with a real character problem will be president.
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 of 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.
We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids, and we Democrats can go for a long , brisk walk and smell the roses.
What do you want to bet that the Washington Post had all kinds of “Come On, Guys, She Won, Let’s Work Together” columns already written before last Tuesday night?
LOLOLOLOLOL……..A smug, arrogant, intolerant, bigot……and now a LOSER!! For a group of people that like to constantly tell us about their intellectual abilities, solve problems and be understanding of our diverse population, we now see the real side of them. They will all now huddle in their little social groups, sipping who knows what, and discussing all us rednecks. Meanwhile, I’ll be having a beer with friends and being so happy I don’t have to play the pretentious game of faux elites.
You can tell he is still “damaged” from bot being picked for a kickball team.
I went through his checklist of the things “his” people do and they things the “other” people do. I am well represented in both groups. That makes me a well rounded, multidimensional person. He is a flat boring person.
Wow. His side is so sophisticated, so intelligent, so cultured, so superior — isn’t that arrogance exactly why they lost the election?
And ironically, he’s doing a pretty good job of “otherizing” the Trump voters.
Garrison Keillor has ALWAYS sounded butt-hurt. It’s a typical hallmark of Northern Liberals.

So the Michael Moore Of Radio (who, his promoters love to point out, has his pulse on the heart of Mid-America) pens a pissy poison-keyboard missive essentially denigrating the people who made him who he is today. It’s currently #2 on WaPo’s Most Read list. Huh. But the current #1 on the list is “I’m a Muslim, a woman and an immigrant. I voted for Trump.” (I’m sure he would consider her the Uncle Tom or whatever of Islam.)
Has Garrison renounced his American citizenship and self-exiled to Canada yet??
tnnsne1 (#2) I, too, have traits from both camps. Maybe we’re breaking some law? Who would have known?
I wonder if garrison Keillor has ever met a trump supporter. I have a large family the vast majority of whom supported trump. none of them, not one, resemble the people described by Keillor. the majority of them are women, the two generations younger than mine are mostly college graduates with several post grad degrees including phd’s. no one owns a pickup truck, grabs crotches, hunts, or does much whooping or yelling except maybe at a football game. so whomever he is describing must be another myth created by the democrat party-media complex, like barack Obama.
Actually, RSG, what will matter is that her fellow Muslims will consider an apostate and under sentence of death. I’ll be surprised if she’s still alive in a year.
Wow. GK is a pompous prick. I remember he calling conservatives stupid and insinuating we were uneducated. He then went on to butcher the Japanese greeting Konnichiwa,(sp?) it is more satisfying to me when these schmucks trip themselves up like that. Even before this whole election I dislike him for trying to horn in on the guests’ songs, never mind he sang enough lousy songs by himself, he had to wreck everybody else’s as well. If you want to read a good parody of ole Garrison, read Death Rat by Michael J. Nelson, writer and 2nd host of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Nelson also splatters mud on Jesse Ventura and Prince, it is a bit of a weird read but I liked it.
