'Never address Trump as president': Keith Olbermann tells liberals to 'humiliate him every day'
December 21, 2016
You've probably noticed that liberal mouthpiece Keith Olbermann has returned to the screen — in a manner of speaking. Far flung from his perch atop the MSNBC food chain, Olbermann now helms a GQ web series called "The Resistance."
Knowing Olbermann's far-left politics and the fact that Republican President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office in less than a month, it's pretty clear what will dominate Olby's commentaries for the time being.
His latest diatribe targeting Trump — "So What Are We Supposed to Do Now?" — is more than nine minutes long, but like a gradually enfolding freeway pileup, it's not always easy to look the other way:
He is still elected by a minority vote. He is still wholly unfit for the job, the man you would expect to find if you were searching for the person who could most quickly and efficiently destroy a democracy and maybe a planet. He is still a moving, breathing conflict of interest who will likely be guilty of impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors within hours, if not minutes, of his own inauguration. He is still a textbook case corrupt self-dealing come to life. He is still the leader of the most remarkable group of public serve-yourself servants ever assembled. And most importantly, Trump is still, at best, the local distributor for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
But Olbermann was just getting warmed up. He soon instructed fellow liberals to get in the faces of Trump supporters: "Resistance means find a Trump supporter every day and remind them he lost the popular vote."
"Resistance means repetition, humiliate him, humiliate him every day, and those who support him," Olbermann continued. "We are in this nightmare because at some point we stopped punishing stupidity in this country. We will not fix this core problem by appeasing the cretins. Besides which, they will not be appeased — they are too stupid to quit while they are ahead. To borrow a Bush-era normalization of terror, 'When you see something stupid, call someone stupid.'"
By the end of his tirade, Olbermann suggested a "passive-aggressive, subtler way to make this point clear. It is like most of the points that finally defeated the Republicans of the Bush era. Those points succeeded not by suddenly knocking down walls, but instead by eroding them as would a river."
"Not using one word can be just as forceful as perpetually using another," he concluded. "Never address Trump as ‘president.’ He is Trump. Just Trump. Never 'president.' The title of ‘president'? That we must protect for a happier and more honest time. Resistance means refusal. Resist. Peace."
