still doubling down on their identity politics, elitism, and thinking celebrities attacking Republicans will hurt them and prevent them from winning the presidency or seats. LOL

True. The Dems don't appear to have learned much from Clinton losing. On the other hand the Reps have a golden opportunity to crack the black vote. If the Reps can improve the inner city employment rate as well as offer school choice this might go a long way in helping move a % of the black vote over to Rep.

And the Rep don't need much. Only say 20-25% and the Dems will be in trouble.

If Trump over the next four years can nominate a couple of USSC justices, see to it that dues for public union are made voluntary and help the economy pick up some much needed steam I'll be satisfied.

ACA? I have no idea how that's going to turn out. Same with plans to build the wall.

It's going to be an interesting 2017.

In any event, I'm still very happy Clinton/Dems won't be ones nominating judges to the Federal bench or the USSC.

The more the out of touch celebs attack Trump and the GOP, the smaller the Democrats support will even be.

Why do Republicans care what celebrities think? Democrats don't care what NASCAR or Ted Nugent says.

Democrats don't think celebrities expressing their opinions will hurt Republicans. There is the freedom of speech and celebrities have the right to say what they want. What does that have to do with Republicans? When Clint Eastwood expressed his opinion, that was his right. Democrats didn't care about what Clint Eastwood said and certainly didn't complain about his right to say it.

Right. All that plus blatantly lying and cheating eventually doesn't work any more, since at least the times of Andrew Jackson.

The Democrats have ... become a party where incivility and bad manners are taken for granted, rudeness is routine, religion is mocked, and there is ... no respect for a differing opinion.

I'm noticing that a
lot of you aren't graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost.

In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about
those of us who voted for Trump.

Some of you are
apparently "triggered" because you are posting how "sick" you feel about the
results.

How did this happen
you ask?

-------------------

You created "us"
when you attacked our freedom of speech.
when you attacked our right to bear arms.
when you attacked our Christian beliefs.

You created "us"
when you constantly referred to us as racists. when you constantly called us xenophobic.

You created "us"
when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.
when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.
when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors.

You created "us"
when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.
when you attacked our flag.
when you took God out of our schools.
when you confused women's rights with feminism.
when you began to emasculate men.
when you decided to make our children soft.
When you decided to rewrite school history books and remove the truth about our founders

You created "us"
when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.
when you attacked our way of life.
when you decided to let our government get out of the silent majority.
when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.
when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn't remove your hat during our National Anthem.
And we became fed up
and we pushed back and spoke up.
And we did it with
ballots, not bullets.
With ballots, not
riots.
With ballots, not looting.
With ballots, not
blocking traffic.

With ballots, not
fires, except the one you started inside of "us".

"YOU" created "US".

It really is just
that simple.

"see to it that dues for public union are made voluntary"

I would like to see public unions BANNED altogether.

How will elimination of restrictions on campaign finance contributions and big money in politics be great for salt of the earth Americans? This is what 2 justice Scalia clones for the USSC promises us they will do. And Trump has said he will nominate justice Scalia clones. 0.0001% of the population contribute the vast majority of the funding for politicians already. To eliminate all restrictions on this bribery will just lead to people like yourself not having any say and the political system will merely rubber stamp the preferred policies of the donor class.

Crushed unions is not going to help wages pick up. When unions were strong, the American people thrived. As unions have been assaulted since the late 1970s onwards, the people have suffered.

It's not really that simple.

When your freedoms of speech infringes on another party, that's when we say no and tell you why, when you still say you're right regardless that's when we attack you.

Because most hardcore conservatives want to remove evolution from Biology textbooks (case in point, Texas) and support a non-abortion agenda (By removing sexual education/health centers and the likes) in public schools, that is infringing on the freedoms of others, not just all Christians who believe this. There are people that exist in the world who aren't Christians like myself and you conservatives fail to realize that. That's why we attack you since you think the only way of life is how you conservatives live and can't see others are different. It's this thought that my way or the highway is why there's us vs. you. Might I add, there's no room on compromising here on these examples I gave period. Either you keep things open and inclusive by including all viewpoints or you don't.

Anyone who voted for Trump is already a lost cause. You guys really need to stop talking about your feelings getting hurt. Destroying the country, because liberals are elitist while you elected a billionaire hollywood elitist who lives in a golden tower is just really stupid.

Trump and his supporters need to be criticized constantly. They can never be legitimized as normal, because they are not. They're terrible human beings.
