I'm sorta 1/2 liberal weenie. Scalzi writes well and I usually enjoy it. In this case not so much.
Just as a follow-up, I couldn't ask my friends... still too much election $hit. My one friend is a veteran, I called him up Friday night to thank him for his service and congratulate him on Trump. That was fine.. but at some point he started yelling at me for the protests/ riots. (someones burning flags or other defamations and that just get's him going...) I talked him down.. but that was it. My other friends daughter is a sophomore at liberal college. She called home in tears, is mad, and wants to leave the country.
I think liberals have lost their minds! The protests are silly... WTF did we have an election for, but to let everyone have a voice. My daughter said some of her teachers were crying in class. Geesh grow up people!
