Leftist Meltdowns Part Two !
Scientific American editor blasts 'f---ing fascists' who elected Donald Trump
Scientific American editor-in-chief Laura Helmuth blasted Trump voters as the "meanest, dumbest, most bigoted" group and "f---ing fascists."
On her Bluesky social media account, Helmuth documented her reaction to the presidential election over the course of Tuesday night. She began optimistically, celebrating campaign efforts.
"Thank you to everyone who knocked on doors, sent post cards, organized, participated in get out the vote events, donated, registered voters, and just plain voted. I'm so glad we're all in this together," Helmuth wrote.
She also added, "Welp. Gonna be a long night. Cheers, everybody."

As more results came in that showed former President Trump, now President-elect Donald Trump, pulling head in multiple key states, Helmuth grew more heated, appearing to attack his voters.
"Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist. The moral arc of the universe isn't going to bend itself," she wrote.
"Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f--- them to the moon and back," another post read.
Helmuth also wrote, "I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f---ing fascists."
The next day, she shared a Scientific American article titled "Election Grief Is Real. Here’s How to Cope" which featured comments from University of Minnesota emeritus professor and psychotherapist Pauline Boss.

"Now we have a kind of loss that I think is causing some grief for people who wanted a different outcome of this election. It’s really quite important to understand the feeling. It is a normal response if you’re in the midst of something you didn’t expect and you don’t like, and it came suddenly, unexpectedly. It’s a major loss," Boss said in the article.
She added, "The loss of hopes and dreams and plans that they thought were coming from the other candidate; a loss of certainty in the future that was what they wanted; loss of trust in the world as a safe place; loss of feelings of freedom over your own body; the loss of support for people who have lesser means than the rest of us do; the loss of support for your neighbor and people who are different from you—it’s a grief that remains unresolved."
