'It deserves to fail': Devastating attack on current-day U.S. unleashed by renowned writer

Raw Story  

Political commentator Elie Mystal had some scathing words for America in his latest column for The Nation. "We had a chance to stand united against fascism, authoritarianism, racism, and bigotry, but we did not," he wrote. Mystal, who has previously called on news consumers to dump media outlets that don't take Trump's dangers seriously, said that no one individually deserves the horror he expects a Trump presidency will unleash — but that America collectively brought it on itself. "We, as a nation, have proven ourselves to be a fetid, violent people, and we deserve a leader who embodies the worst of us," he wrote. As for how to "save" America from the next four years of Trump, Mystal wrote, that's the wrong question.
