Moore’s Controversial Take on Trump’s Election
In a startling post-election commentary, left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore has unleashed a scathing critique of the American electorate following Donald Trump’s victory. Moore explicitly stated that Americans are terrible people for voting in historic numbers for former President Donald Trump.
Tell us how you really feel, Michael.
Moore didn’t mince words in his assessment, stating bluntly, “We are not a good people.” This provocative statement forms the cornerstone of his argument that Trump’s election is symptomatic of deeper, longstanding issues in American society. Moore goes further, linking the election result to what he terms America’s “evil deeds,” including historical injustices such as the treatment of Native Americans and the legacy of slavery.

Accusations and Exaggerations
In his tirade, Moore employs inflammatory language to describe the president-elect, referring to Trump as a “34-time convicted felon” and a “fascist.” These characterizations, while attention-grabbing, require scrutiny. Trump has faced numerous legal challenges, but Moore’s claim of 34 felony convictions is inaccurate and misleading.
“We have a non-stop cavalcade, a sordid laundry list of evil deeds that led us directly to last week, to the point where we the people, by popular vote, elected a 34-time convicted felon, a fascist, and a civilly-charged and convicted sexual abuser to be our 47th president of the United States. And we did so after he clearly and quite honestly warned us that he was going to do a mass round-up and deportation of nearly 15 million people,” Moore said.
Moore also makes alarming claims about Trump’s intentions, suggesting plans for mass deportations and even the execution of political opponents. These assertions, presented without evidence, appear to be based on Moore’s interpretation of Trump’s rhetoric rather than concrete policy proposals.
Moore’s Advice: Being the “Anti-Trump”
Despite his harsh criticism, Moore offers a path forward for those dismayed by the election results. He advises his followers to become the “Anti-Trump” by practicing kindness and engaging in left-wing activism. This includes joining progressive organizations and supporting cultural centers for Indigenous peoples.
“It’s possible that history may be kinder to us if, next time, the working class doesn’t see our candidate campaigning with Wall Street billionaires,” he said.
Kindness? His side have been absolutely abhorrent for the last eight years.
In a surprising twist, Moore also suggests self-care activities like drinking tea, listening to music, and practicing gratitude. He recommends left-leaning news sources such as ProPublica, The Guardian, and Al-Jazeera, reflecting his political leanings and worldview.
Yeah, OK.
