You know when a tweetstorm starts off with the words, “As a privileged white liberal male,” things are going to get real stupid real fast.
Per Andy Richter:
As a privileged white liberal male, there's some things I'm having trouble understanding lately. 1/9

We’re willing to bet there are more than just ‘some things’ he’s having trouble understanding.
Apparently, I'm supposed to think that even though data shows Trump voters REALLY dig the Muslim ban & the Wall & the deportations…2/9

…& Blue Lives Matter & ignore Pepe memes & still hung up on fake Obamaphone horseshit, etc., they're really just economically nervous. 3/9

Huh? Where did he get this? We read a LOT of tweets and have yet to see Trump supporters cop out and pretend they’re economically nervous. They are all very open about what they want and why they want it, and they’re certainly not admitting to being nervous about anything.
And b/c we want to get their votes next time, I shouldn't call them racist because they don't like it & it makes them sad and mad. 4/9

Psh, Democrats don’t care about Republicans voting for them.
Stop it.
Okay. Got it. So should I also be explicitly telling women and people of color that they should just shut up? 5/9

When did Trump tell women or people of color to shut up? Dude …
Do I tell women and POC to shut up about their (very understandable and real) fears about what Trump voters have brought us? 6/9

Doo-doo-doo-doooo, doo-doo-doo-doooo (that’s a weak attempt to spell out the Twilight Zone theme song).
That's the promise, right? Don't worry, women and POC, we'll make everything all right. Shut up now, & we'll take care of you later. 8/9
— Andy Richter (@AndyRichter) April 3, 2017
And LOOK at the thousands of people who fav’d this crap?!
Here's my problem with that: if I was a woman or a POC and a privileged white liberal male like me told me that, I wouldn't believe me. 9/9
— Andy Richter (@AndyRichter) April 3, 2017
Well, we don’t believe Andy (and the editor of this piece who happens to be a woman doesn’t believe Andy) but not because of his ridiculous and paranoid Trump rant. No, we don’t believe him because he’s trying to be coy and clever, and he just comes off as whiny and annoying.
Or in other words, a ‘white liberal guy’.
