The election is over why keep spreading hate and discontent

Try to conceptualize what your last sentence is really saying. It is inconsistent with the claim you are making that Trump represents the "same old destructive GOPism".

I am not deriding you for your preference to feel deeply and make judgments, but IMO in the current context it is unproductive and potentially harmful to the country. IMO you need to consider the possibility that you and many others may have judged wrong.

Do you really want a world in which the highest power is a world one, that cares little about the needs of Americans?

 

Guess they saw the light and were glad he got elected.

 

Lol...Ask trump.

 

Well, Trump has succeeded in uniting the world... against HIM!

 

Lol...Obama has class. Trump is reaping what he sowed.

 

What you don't think President* "Grab Them By the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" is classy?

 

There was a lot of hate on display at the women's march. Lots of anger, bitterness, etc.

Nasty, selfish people.

 

Actions speak louder than words. So far, Trump has done little that could be construed as conciliatory to his political opposition and instead has toed the GOP line on a number of issues.

Like I've said before, I will give Trump the same level of respect that the right-wingers gave President Obama. Let's see who handles it better. I don't remember any late night tirades on twitter by President Obama. I'm guessing that is another "change" that Trump will bring to the White House.

This sentence seems to once more wander off on some relatively obscure tangent.

 

I don't recall right wingers torching limos and vandalizing businesses.

 

The hate and discontent continues becasue Trump has no off switch.

 

Yes canadian politics is most definitely boring. The PM there has as much power as a governor in the states does. Sometimes we have to feel sorry for the redheaded stepchild of north, so much area and so little world respect and clout. What a sad country to live in.

 

Shooting cops in donut shops?

 

No.....just no. Guess again.

 

When someone uses quanifiers such as "the majority," what comes to mind?

We know that there is violence on the right. At this present time, it is rather difficult to deny that majority of the violence is currently on the left side of the spectrum.

 

yes, at this very time, but the majority of people on the left do not support the violence of either side... period

 

We learned some lessons from the republicans and birthers during the years from 2008-2016. Compromise =weakness. Obstructionism = strength. If you undermine the legitimacy of an opposition party president, you will win seats, not lose them. Screaming and yelling will accomplish plenty if it sows seeds of doubt in the moral authority or judgement of the executive in purple states and unites the base everywhere else. Polarizing conduct and messaging is a winning hand for the next four years.

Thank-you tea party Congress, rightwing bloggers/ media and so many of you fine radical conservative voices right here on this site, for helping us define our strategy.

Let the fear, the hate, the blatant lies, vicious partisan attacks and the mistrust grow and ferment!

 

I don't think you understand what the term, majority means.

I don't know, and I haven't bothered to check. We know that majority incidences of violences has occurred from the left last year when it came to political rallies, speaking engagements, university talks, etc. One peaceful protest isn't going to suddenly dissolve that.

You know that as a prinicple, not as a matter of factual practice.

 

Do you think that maybe current conditions determines which side is doing the violence at any particular time?

But in the first place, it has for years and decades been that violence at protests has been perpetrated by anarchists. They have even published their strategy for it.

But as we see the violence of those few anarchists is used by the right and has been used by police in the past to slander honorable protests and as an excuse to crack down on all protesters.

The left needs to organize miscellaneous groups into one coordinated collective and establish our own security force to apprehend violent renegades and turn them over to police. That was done by the Occupy movement and we should do the same in this case.

These protests today all across this country are unprecedented and represent the fullest expression of patriotism. And slanders of the protests and protesters represent highly unpatriotic behavior.

 

True.

There are still people around who think the electoral college is about majority.

But, the electoral college was designed to NOT represent the majority.

And, this time it certainly did not, as at least 2 million more people voted for Trump's opponent.

 

yes, without facts to show otherwise I think most people on the right and left are against violence... that is just reality

Irrelevant. Majority of the people voted for someone other than Clinton. This isn't about the majority, this is about respecting the outcome of the election.

 

I'm not saying that they do or don't believe these principles either way. What I am saying is that one side believes, if they do engage in violence, that their violence is justified; therefore, it isn't violence.

That is a dangerous precedent.

 

LOL!!!! November 12 and June 16!!!!!! THIS IS JANUARY 21 AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW! LOL!!

You're so silly.

 

The Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street were mostly peaceful. Majority of Black Lives Matter protest aren't violence, it's just the parts the media decide to show. In general, protest are not violent.

I just know that when something happens, it is ususally an instance of someone on the left violently reacting to something they disapprove of.

 

Awww. Is ums "conservative" fee wings getting hurt?

Get used to it. TrumpCo's failure and your hypocrisy will be on the menu daily.
