Every trumper is a N4T.
Yes, I know I have a long tradition here of championing the causes and agenda of the Democratic Party and the left in general. And I have argued vehemently against what I see as the intransigence of the right.
And I still feel the same. Nothing has changed.
I have, however, been known to speak out against my own side when the extremist fringe loonies have said or done things that even solid Democrats like myself find embarrassing, outrageous and beyond the pale.
A viral meme involving the outfit Bernie Sanders' wore on inauguration day has flooded the internet over the past few weeks.
It's a photo of him sitting alone in a chair bundled against the freezing cold with a puffy parka style jacket and mittens.
Apparently, Sanders has licensed the image and has used it to raise millions of dollars for various charities, including Meals On Wheels.
That's a good thing, right?
Not according to some San Francisco dipsh*t school teacher who saw it as a glaring and outrageous example of Bernie Sanders' "white privilege".
According to this dipsh*t whose name is Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, writing in a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed piece, Sanders' choice of clothing represented...
“privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege” symbolized by Sanders’s choice of a relatively casual Burton snowboarding jacket and repurposed wool mittens.
Seyer-Ochi addressed the topic with her students, who she said were also upset by what they saw as the implicit message being delivered by Sanders’s choice of outerwear.
“What did they see? They saw a white man in a puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and attire,” Seyer-Ochi wrote, adding, “What did I see? What did I think my students should see? A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.
“I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie.”

Fortunately, common sense still prevails amongst the populace and the Tweets in response put things back into perspective and hopefully, her in her place.
A couple of examples:
I will never embrace right-wing conservatism even though as a centrist Democrat I occasionally agree with them in principle on some issues.
But sh*t like this makes me understand why so many on the right hate the left.
This dumbass does not represent the majority of those of us on the left.
These idiots need to be roundly shouted down and not just by the right.
But by every one on the left who is concerned about our side's credibility.
