Dear Trump Fan, So You Want Someone To ‘Tell It Like It Is’? OK, Here You Go. Feb 22, 2016 10:09 am Matt Walsh (http://www.theblaze.com/author/matt-walsh/) Dear Donald Trump Fan, I’m going to tell you the truth, friend. Special: It's scary what this site knows about us. Have you looked up a name? (http://bit.ly/2JFxu2A) You say you want the truth. You say you want someone who speaks boldly and brashly and bluntly and “tells it like it is” and so on. According to exit polls (http://news.yahoo.com/entrance-polls-nevada-caucus-goers-split-obama-policies-204701591--election.html) in South Carolina, voters who want a president who “tells it like it is” are an essential demographic for Trump, just as they’re an essential demographic for Judge Judy and Dr. Phil. You say you want abrupt and matter-of-fact honesty, and you want it so much, you’ll make a man president for it regardless of whether he defies every principle and value you claim to hold. [mattwalsh-social-instory] Personally, I think you’re lying, and I’m going to test my theory. In fact, I believe I’ve already proven my theory because you’re now offended that I called you a liar. But Trump has called half of the Earth’s population a liar at some point over the past seven months, and you loved every second of it. You said you loved it not out of cruelty or spite, but out of admiration for a man who’s willing to call people liars — even if he’s lying when he does it. Yet here I am employing the same tactic — accurately, I might add — and you recoil indignantly. Over the course of this campaign season I’ve said many harsh words about you and your leader, all of which I stand by, but you’ve never respected my harsh words, or the harsh words of any Trump critic. Indeed, you insist that our tough criticism of you only vindicates your support of Trump, while Trump’s vulgar and dishonest criticism of everyone else also vindicates your support of Trump. You’re tired of people being critical, but you love Trump because he’s critical. You say you like Trump for his style, but you hate his style when it’s directed at him or you. [sharequote align=”center”]You say you like Trump for his style, but you hate his style when it’s directed at him or you.[/sharequote] You say you want someone who’s politically incorrect. You’re so desperate for political incorrectness — a supremely ridiculous reason to vote a guy into the Oval Office, but never mind — that your esteem for him only grows when he belittles the disabled (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34930042), mocks (http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016election/hes-not-war-hero-donald-trump-mocks-john-mccains-service-n394391) American prisoners of war, calls women dogs (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/thefix/wp/2015/08/08/so-which-women-has-donald-trump-called-dogs-and-fat-pigs/), calls his opponents p*ssies (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/02/08/donald_trump_ted_cruz_a_pussy.html), calls for the assassination (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/trump-kill-isil-families216343)of women and children, says he’d like to have sex with his daughter (http://fusion.net/story/176716/heres-the-creepy-video-of-donald-trump-saying-hed-date-his-own-daughter/), brags (http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/27/politics/ben-sasse-donald-trump-affairs-salesman-iowa/)about his adultery, etc. You’re excited by the most vile statements and most cretinous behavior imaginable — not remotely deterred by any of it, no matter how many times he gloats over infidelity, curses his opponents, and publicly ogles his own children — because, you say, it’s politically incorrect. That is how unfathomably desperate you are for someone to come along and just say what’s on their mind, you claim. You’re so fed up with political correctness that you celebrate political incorrectness without distinguishing between the healthy sort and the “LOL I slept with married women and I’m not sorry” sort. It doesn’t matter if you don’t personally agree, you say, you just respect the hell out of someone who’s willing to shoot straight, even when “shooting straight” means comparing (http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/12/politics/donald-trump-ben-carson-child-molester/)Ben Carson to a child molester, calling the entire electorate of Iowa stupid (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/01/26/trumps-how-stupid-are-the-people-of-iowa-line-resurfaces-in-cruz-ad/), and referring to Read More women as “pieces of ass (http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/374858-you-know-it-really-doesn-t-matter-what-the-media-write).” Trump won South Carolina on the support of Evangelical Christians who were so impressed with his alleged straight talk that they overlooked the fact that he’s a crass, cruel, unrepentant philanderer who says he does not need (http://www.christianpost.com/news/trump-why-do-i-have-to-repent-or-ask-for-forgiveness-if-i-am-not-making-mistakes-video-141856/) God’s
