Joss Whedon is fucking stupid

Hollywood idiocy knows no bounds, and even filmmakers whose talents I respect are not immune to The Stupid. On Instapundit, Sarah Hoyt links to a piece about Joss Whedon, whose "Avengers" movie and "Firefly" TV series are among my most-treasured viewing experiences. Whedon, fully in thrall to the "Trump is a Nazi" meme, apparently thinks that Trump will soon be rounding up homosexuals and killing them en masse. This kind of thinking can only come from the bowels of an echo chamber so utterly detached from reality that even the most wild-eyed pronouncements sound sane to those trapped within it.

Here, just to piss off the easily triggered, Trump-is-Hitler-reborn crowd:

Could It Be? Is President Trump on a Roll?
(from, of all places, The Washington Post)

Dear deluded friends: Trump is an asshole, he's thin-skinned, and his tweeting may indicate that he thinks he's running a reality-TV show (although it's more likely he's doing that just to keep his enemies off balance), but he's no Hitler. Please, please, sponge your brains clean of that idea. Trump has plenty of actual negatives; try concentrating on those for a change.

And for the love of God, don't get your political wisdom from anyone in Hollywood.
