All I can say is 'bow wow' if you're offended.

Not offended but the term snowflake is starting to be overused and cringy.

I agree. I'm tired of this all 'liberals' tag.

The anti free speech crowd is the radical left. The 'alt-left,' if you will.

I try to distinguish between conservatives and the 'alt-right', as they are rather different. Wish others would do the same regarding the left.

Rewriting reality -- nobody is up in arms about anything but

potential contamination of our rivers and streams,

folks struggling to get back on their feet denied health insurance and access to programs that help to be fed

you get the rest.

Get over yourselves.

Liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds, does it? You've been doing it for decades, Karma is a *****, isn't it.

Like he said, who ever is offended by it identifies with something in the lyrics.

I Got Friends In Safe Spaces (lyrics)

Blame it all on our roots we never wore boots
and never once played in the street
We feel very bitter
get our news off of Twitter
And we just can’t handle defeat

You saw the surprise and the fear in our eyes
When Donald became president
Screamed this can’t be true
Americas through
And to the safe spaces we went

I’ve got friends in Safe Spaces
And If you don’t go with us
Then you must be racist
That is our catch phrase
Where is my latte

Come on in and let’s get cozy
Showing off participation trophies
Watching CNN
In Safe Spaces

Well we all get along
And sing happy songs
And watch movies by Michael Moore
We hate the alt right
We’ve got puppies on site
And we lay around on the floor

Oh there’s coloring books
And sad long faced looks
And tears just explode from our face
But give us an hour we’re delicate flowers
We just need an embrace…..

Oh I’ve got friends in Safe Spaces
If you don’t go with us
Then you must be racist
That is our catch phrase
Where is my latte

Come on in and let’s get cozy
Showing off participation trophies
Watching CNN
In Safe Spaces

Now you're getting it. But it's too late, Democrats, Liberals, Progressives are the same thing. The moderate Democrats left or are leaving the party.

I HATE Christmas music. I'm not a snowflake, per se, but I hate Jingle Bells., White Christmas, and the rest of them. Ugh.
