One of the 600 Who Over Estimates the Power of His Opinion |
According to this piece from The Guardian, some 600 American writers have signed an open letter condemning the political aspirations of Donald Trump. Among them seem to be a few favorites of mine and a whole lot more of whom I've never heard.
But for all 600 of you, here is my open letter to you:
As I desperately look for reasons I can justify voting for either of the two most despicable candidates in recent American political history, I don't want (or need) to hear from people whose opinion is no more valid or informed than my own. I don't give a damn what you think about politics, so keep it to yourself - and if you think your opinion is going to make me vote one way or another in any election, you are hugely over estimating your influence on the general public. Keep writing, and I'll keep reading. Other than that...you are irrelevant.
Especially you, Stephen King.
