The loathing is just spilling out into the streets a little more in America is all. They've decided there's little if anything left to discuss and are taking things to the next inevitable level. We've always know the further south you go the more hot-blooded people are about politics. I'm betting as the world warms up we'll be little different.

I have a hard time comparing comments online to riots in the streets. They are a tad different. If Clinton had her expected win how many "safe spaces" would there be for Trump supporters?

eyeball Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 That would probably depend on how many 2nd Amendment folks took to the streets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one breath you claim that right wingers are engaging in virtual violence and in the next you claim they yearn for Nazism, accusing people of wanting to be Nazis is obviously ok because is `true`, right? You obviously don`t speak for everyone on the left, but if you are any indication their problem seems to be mental illness, you should be banned from posting for your own good, allowing you to continue does you a disservice. It's at least in part the completely undeserved smugly superior attitude of your sort that has lead to this, in my opinion, bad choice. Yes, I am qualified to judge you, I am that thing you for some, possibly, literally insane reason, you think you are, intelligent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Clinton spend her campaign targeting racial minorities and other religions? Honestly, if you could manage to read something other than Breitbart and Infowars, you might understand what has been going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a trump supporter, I am just laughing at the crying celebrities and reading about college campuses that have been handing out coloring books to the students that are hurting.

Well, you see, when reality TV culture and just general ignorance makes people more interested in talking about other people, rather than policies and issues, they go on forums and talk trash about protesters instead of actually talking about the protesters' concerns.

I think it's just that everone was horrified at the thought that there would be those who would not accept a DT loss. It never occurred to them that it would be the same for a HC loss. It's like, aww, bless 'em! Edited November 13, 2016 by bcsapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you something else that is surprising but most are not yet aware, the number of calls to suicide hotlines has tripled in the past few days. Calls to crisis and suicide prevention hotlines surge post-election Mostly college educated younger folk who have been psychologically decimated by this loss. They have no way to deal with it.

OftenWrong Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) The consequences of a generation that has been coddled and protected all their lives from facing hardship. These people were brought up in a school system where judgement is not allowed, where there is no winner or champion, lest anyone should feel inferior. Everyone gets a medal for participation. You do that to somebody, and when the time finally comes that something "bad" happens to them, as it must, it's like the rug is pulled out from under them. These people have no cajones.

bush_cheney2004 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 The suicidal reactions of some progressives is to be expected, and makes for very funny YouTube videos. Lacking any empathy for their self imposed depression, it is a joy to watch them pout and cry over the outcome of an election that just didn't go their media and polsters assumed way.
