NP. I never called Democrats "libs" until very recently when I got sick and tired of reading Trumpkins, Trumpsters, Trumpettes all day long. I'm just guessing, but I'm pretty sure that was meant to sound derogatory, no? But I'm all about it now if that's how we're gonna roll. The day I come here and don't see myself referred to by one of those nicknames, I will revert to calling you Hillary supporters or Democrats. |

So people really are offended by libs? I'm sure when Repubs say it they aren't thinking nice things about my political views, but really... offended by the word libs? Come on.
Seriously didn't know it was supposed to be derogatory. |

Enjoyed the liberal meltdown but surprised a Brit would get that emotional over our election results. He does not live here, why should he care? Maybe he is part of the Liberal Borg hive-mind phenomenon.
He said liberals should have dialogue and discussion but that is hard to do. Disagree with Climate Change, think the models may be inaccurate and the data does not actually point to humans causing the weather to change? Liberal Response: "Nyah-nyah! Fingers in my ears, not going to hear you Climate Change DENIER! F** YOU planet hater!" How do you have a dialogue with someone that stupid? You cannot, so we non-Liberals and even liberals who know the "science" for climate change just isn't all there voted Trump or did not vote at all. Want to have a dialogue on gay marriage? Liberal response: "What! You think marriage is between man and woman only? F** YOU homophobe bigot, a BIG F** YOU" No dialogue possible. It is their way or the highway, so, seeing that we cannot even vote on the matter without them running to the supreme court to get their way over the will of the people, we have to elect Trump to reverse it. And when we do get gay marriage repealed and placed into the category of civil union there will be more screaming and shutting of the ears blocking all dialogue. You cannot have a dialogue with children who are always throwing a tantrum about getting their way, you have to go around them and over their heads and put them in a big time out. America by electing Trump has put the whiny cry-baby liberals into Time Out. If this does not work, we'll have to get out the belt, bend them over, and give them a good horse-whipping like the good ole days. |
Don't you recall the Brexit histrionics on this board? |
Right? Just the other day I called my black neighbor the n-word and told him to go back to Africa. He got all wah, wah upset, called me a racist. Effing PC culture. |
I can't imagine why some people think liberals are elitist. (And I am one, and I think the DNC effed up by thinking Hillary was going to become acceptable to a sufficient share of the electorate. I don't think she's evil; I think she's make the usual political compromises, but I also think that people operate in a fog of cognitive dissonance and you aren't going to change that.) |
Fed up with this. You really think that people who voted for Obama twice were only voted for Trump because he's a racist. Maybe they didn't want a woman, maybe they are voting for economics. It's not that simple. Why vilify them when 30% of people from MD and almost half of Viriginians voted for him. Before we complain about racism in the Midwest, we should take a better look at it in our own backyards. |
| Liberal as an insult is mostly used by leftists who hate liberals far more than conservatives do. |

The Bernie or busters have to quit it. He lost the election because not enough voters wanted him. He would have done far worse with minority voters based on his primary performance. He would have done worse with moderates. His attempts to put himself back in the news with an "I told you so" lap is offensive.
He is going to be too old in 2020 and should step aside and let other young liberals take the spotlight. |

Apparently, the party itself is beginning to realize that they have no one to blame but themselves and there is a DNC "tea-party" style revolution brewing.

Thank. Fucking. God. I want to see heads roll for shoehorning her into the nomination. I want open and enthusiastic support for new and vivacious candidates. I want someone to be the nominee who I can throw eager support behind and I'm much more likely to get that when the DNC isn't shutting people out of the process. |
100 percent agree. |
| I don't think "lib" is derogatory. I say "shitlib" when I want to be derogatory. |
I disagree with you on climate change and gay marriage but I agree with your point about the dems. They have gone too far to the left, gotten too cock sure about their infalliability and that is never good for the country. That is a big part of why I voted Trump. |
Great post. I agree 100% |
