The Urban Dictionary defines “butt-hurt”
as: “An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived
personal insult.”
The right-wing trolls that voted for a septuagenarian
degenerate real estate mogul use “butt-hurt” to describe the dismay, fear and
anger over Trump’s, yet to be confirmed, election to the office of President of
the United States. Those of us with a measure of common sense and decency, as
well as a sense of history are not “butt-hurt”.
People are not experiencing “An inappropriately strong
negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult”. People are experiencing
fear of their families being torn apart; fear of psychological and physical
violence; fear that the last 60 years of social progress will be wiped out.
There is also dismay and outrage at the prospect of a man so eminently unqualified
in terms of training and temperament is about ready to squat in the Oval
Office, surrounded and supported by racists, anti-Semites, Islamophobes,
misogynists, religious extremists, homophobes and yes-men.
The trollish, arrogant, ignorant troglodytes that celebrate
Trump as though he were the Second Coming of Christ, are using the term “butt-hurt”
to diminish the outrage, anger and fear of millions of Americans over the
consequences of this travesty of an election. An election which the old pervert
that is their hero and savior lost, by 2.2 million and still counting, the
popular vote.
No, you great effing trolls…This is NOT “butt-hurt”. It is
the outrage of every Hispanic and Muslim he has insulted; every woman he, and
men like him, have assaulted. It is the fear of women who may find it impossible
to secure birth control, never mind a safe, legal abortion. It is the anger and
uncertainty of the LGBT community about Mike Pence and his raging homophobia
and the uncertainty of whether the recent, hard won rights to have their unions
recognized, will vanish. It is genuine, and very real concern that Trump will
use the office of President to pad his, and those of his cronies and
sycophants, pockets at the expense of everyone who works for a living. There is
the very real threat that Trump, and a GOP dominating both the House and Senate
will gut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid like yesterday’s fish.
No, this isn’t “butt-hurt”. It’s not “An inappropriately
strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult.”. But every
Trump-loving troll who says it, wishes it was.
