The actor Michael Shannon is not a household name, so there's time for him to have his own brand: mass suicide advocate. Shannon is out promoting his new film Nocturnal Animals, and he's on an "anti-Trump rage tour," admitted the liberals at the aptly named Vulture blog at New York magazine. Shannon says older people who voted for Trump it's time to die: "If you voted for Trump, it's time for the urn."

And NBC News thinks it's Trump that favored the "Stalinesque purge." Liberals insist it's Trump that somehow sounds like a liquidating Hitler.

“There’s a lot of old people who need to realize they’ve had a nice life, and it’s time for them to move on,” Shannon said. “Because they’re the ones who go out and vote for these assholes. If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them, Hillary would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom’s a senior citizen. But if you’re voting for Trump, it’s time for the urn.” And if your parents voted for Trump? “Fuck ’em. You’re an orphan now. Don’t go home. Don’t go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Don’t talk to them at all. Silence speaks volumes.”

That's a generous liberal thought: "No offense to the seniors out there, but half of you should put a gun in your mouth and save America."

Bizarrely, this is how Joe McGovern of Entertainment Weekly summarized Shannon's rage tour: "million of citizens who feel shell-shocked by the result have found a patron saint of grumpiness and grief. His name is Michael Shannon." McGovern smells Oscar nods for Shannon. His grotesque take on politics might help, not hurt.

Daniel Nussbaum at Breitbart caught an earlier rage-a-thon: “The big red dildo running through the middle of our country needs to be annexed to be its own country of moronic assholes,” Shannon told an interviewer for RogerEbert.com. “You can call it the United States of Moronic Fucking Assholes.”

I don’t know how people got so goddamn stupid. But it’s really weird, because it’s like the last eight years, now it feels like a lie. Like, this has been festering underneath the whole time. Racists, sexists. And a lot of these people, they don’t know why the fuck they’re alive. They know it. They’re doing drugs, fucking killing themselves. Because they’re like, ‘Why the fuck am I alive? I can’t get a job, I don’t know anything about anything, I have no curiosity for life or the world.’

Once again, Shannon wishes anyone who doesn't vote for liberals should be six feet under...and then he says he's not trying to sound cocky! He's so in touch with the common people!
