From an Angry Reader:<\/h3>\n

I love the Angry Reader section of your website, particularly your responses. I want to be an Angry Reader and see what you have to say about my valid, thoughtful points so here goes.<\/em><\/p>\n

How can anyone support Donald Trump (I call him DT because he gives me the dt’s, heh, heh)???<\/em><\/p>\n

He\u2019s a racist. Look at his cabinet appointments. All white people except token minority Cho and she\u2019s not even Black, Hispanic or Muslim. Carson doesn\u2019t count because he\u2019s an UNCLE TOM.<\/em><\/p>\n

He\u2019s a masoginist (or whatever it is) because he hates women. Look at his cabinet appointments. All men except token woman Cho. She\u2019s a professional token having been one in a previous REPUBLICIAN ADMINISTRATION a few years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

He disrespects the Main Stream Media by using his tweets to go around them and get directly to the PEOPLE. This must be a violation of the 1st Amendment, at a minimum it\u2019s certainly in POOR TASTE!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

He\u2019s not fit to be President because Obama and Clinton both said so. The New York Times too, I think.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, f{^>\\**\u00a5+\u20ac you and the horse you ride on and all other Castro lovers too!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

I rest my case and await your smarty pants response.<\/em><\/p>\n

Victor Davis Hanson’s Reply:<\/h3>\n

Dear Really Angry Anonymous Reader,<\/p>\n

I think your letter is satire and not serious. But in fairness I\u2019ll answer nonetheless. Even satire has to have some originality; your \u201cDT\u201d\/\u201cracist\u201d tropes are not even remotely funny. The shouting capital letters resemble most of the style of our angry readers, so you are either likewise deluded or a bad satirist.<\/p>\n

What does \u201ccount\u201d mean? Does one count as a minority if he fits some liberal ideology, usually established by an elite whose life does not even remotely match his rhetoric? I was trying to figure out the etymology of your neologism masoginist, but I plead I cannot think up any remote roots other than Greek mastos<\/em> (breast) or Latin massa<\/em> (lump) that would give me a clue. Sorry on that.<\/p>\n

What is a Republician? Analogous to a conservative physician?<\/p>\n

So you are a Trump supporter after all in your (poor) satire about tweeting and the 1st Amendment? Is that confirmed with your digs at Obama and Clinton and The New York Times<\/em>? And maybe even further confirmed with the obscenity and \u201cCastro lovers\u201d?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t offer \u201csmarty pants\u201d responses to angry readers, but try to take them seriously, more seriously I think than they deserve.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: if you are serious, the angry reader letter rates a D-. If you are a Trump supporter, the satire earns a C-. If you are disturbed, then I forgive and pray for your recovery.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, VDH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
