First time in US history a demonstrably proven ignoramus elected to presidency. 60 million Americans voted for him. You don't come back from a civic literacy deficit that big. Enjoy all the winning losers. You gave away your country to the 1 percent who own and control the Republican party. You are not getting it back in one piece.barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572095990952474034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598883894140893389.post-6204024717077940162018-04-11T00:06:58.110+01:002018-04-11T00:06:58.110+01:00It is always gratifying to be insulted by someone ...It is always gratifying to be insulted by someone who did not read the article.Avedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702100335744054401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598883894140893389.post-51682527986121302952018-04-10T23:14:13.945+01:002018-04-10T23:14:13.945+01:00Most of the 'lies' you think of as lies, a...Most of the 'lies' you think of as lies, as merely a different intepretation of events. You have a small mind, blinded by personal ideology and unable to grasp that people other than you also sometimes vote for the lesser of evils--and that in their view of, it's a different party.<br /><br />Trump is a pig of a man, but he will actually oppose 'free' trade with all his might. He will not sacrifice my rural relatives to make the cities whole, as Obama did. And he did not declare a sizable swathe of America 'deplorable' simply for refusing to vote for him.<br /><br />What I've seen out of the Democratic party, and liberals in general, since Trump's election is simply terrifying. They riot constantly, and call it 'protest'. They engage in violent tactics that they would readily decry if their opponents engaged in it. They use their protected status in the media and tech companies to persecute, oppress and outright silence dissenting views, under the belief that they lost because they allowed too much honest discussion. They have started to demonize all white men--most of whom aren't exactly wealthy--in order to take the heat off of their banker contributors and justify the complete abandonment of rural America.<br /><br />In other words, go fuck yourself and take a more honest accounting of why people disagree with you. It's not because we've been lied to by them. It's because Obama made everything about race and feminism in the middle of depression, and that you all hate everyone not like you every bit as much as the other side does.

(I've been having the same problem with liberal friends on Facebook, like the guy who posted a fantasy that Donald Trump Jr. would be imprisoned and raped by other convicts. When I called him on it, he accused me of trying to blind him with my intellect and he was sticking by his convictions by gum!)Duncan Mitchelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304723745550906958noreply@blogger.com
