Over at Lawyers, Guns and Money we are informed that Donald Trump is historically unpopular because everyone hates him except Old White Men. This base canard is supposedly finds support in a recent CNN poll, the results of which are summarized, in part, as follows:
You don’t need to be real good at math to figure out that the only large demographic categories in which Trump isn’t massively unpopular are old white men and Republicans, which of course are increasingly the same thing.
On behalf of Old White Men everywhere, I have to object. I hate Donald Trump just as much as anyone, as do all the other Old White Men that I know. I hate Donald Trump just as much as Brian hated the Romans, which was “a lot”. Sure, there are some Old White Men that don’t hate Donald Trump, and maybe it’s true that more Old White Men don’t hate Donald Trump than any other demographic doesn’t hate Donald Trump, except, maybe, for Old White Male Republicans, because they and they alone account for my demographic’s poor performance in this latest poll. And when you look at the poll, it doesn’t actually break out the numbers for Old White Men. The whole idea that Old White Men hate Trump the least is nothing but an assumption for which there’s no explicit support in the poll, merely a massive amount of implicit support.
It’s time for Old White Men everywhere to stand up on behalf of our much maligned demographic and demand that we stop being pigeonholed as ignorant racist easily deluded Fox News watchers who faithfully troop to the polls to vote against our own self interests just because most some of us do.
Here’s Brian, by the way:
