Scientific American Editor: Trump Voters Are ‘Meanest, Dumbest, Most Bigoted’ Group of ‘F-ing Fascists’

The editor-in-chief of the popular science magazine Scientific American has unleashed a hate-filled and expletive-laden tirade against citizens who voted for President Donald Trump in this week’s historic election.
The outlet’s editor, Laura Helmuth, blasted Trump voters as the “meanest, dumbest, most bigoted” group of “f—ing fascists” in America.
Helmuth documented her reaction to the presidential election on her Bluesky social media account throughout Tuesday night.
She began optimistically, celebrating Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s campaign efforts.
“Thank you to everyone who knocked on doors, sent postcards, 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.”
However, her tune started to change as Trump’s historic victory started to take shape.
As more results came in that showed Trump pulling head in multiple key states, Helmuth grew more heated.
As the president-elect’s decisive victory became clear, Helmuth started to attack Trump’s tens of millions of 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,” she wrote.
“The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself.”
“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.”
The article from the “science” outlet, which publicly endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, features 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,” Boss said in the article.
“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,” 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.”
“It’s not like [the] grief of a person for whom you have a death certificate and a funeral after and rituals of support and comfort.
“We’re stuck with this,” Boss said.
“I wrote about it as frozen grief.”
