A friend of mine, whom I will call Samantha for anonymity's sake, received a phone call from her Republican brother the other day in which he left the following message:
"Hey Sam, just wanted to say sorry to hear about your loss, I know you were working hard. But don't you worry, you're just immature, you have a lot growing up to do, it's not your fault...maybe now you and all of your Mtv people can snap out of it and get in touch with the rest of world, and open your eyes to what's going on..."
That seemed to be the attitude of many a troll and red stater following the election. Samantha, who when she is back home in the midwest, keeps her politics to herself, decided that was the last straw. She wrote her brother a letter from her Manhattan apartment which, in my mind, says it all. So here it is.
