:c rying:

You guys really better start growing a thicker skin. It hasn't even begun yet. I look forward to all of the moaning and gnashing of teeth by the con man and his cult. It's the only bright spot I can find going forward, but I am going to enjoy it to the max.
It has less to do with just making of fun of Trump. It has more to do with the lack of self reflection and continuing the polarization of the country. Something they claim only Trump does. If you guys can't get this through your head then I pity you and you can have all the snowflake comments because in the end the snowflake will always be the delicate shrills on the left. Deflect it on Trump all you like.


Intellectual diversity isn't the left's strong suit anyways.

I think liberals and leftists are just wrong and enjoy having a laugh at their insular foolishness. You actually think we are the resurgence of the KKK and are wanting to take away the rights of everyone who isn't red blooded American. Which is incredibly juvenile.

This isn't about having a safe space on SNL, you are either incredibly foolish or are just being coy, either way it's juvenile. It's about pointing out how terribly biased the show is even in the face of the fact that not everyone thinks like they do. There is no self reflection on the left's part.
We understand the EC very well. We also understand that the Democrats have won the popular vote six out of the last seven elections. We also understand that the blue states are funding the red states while the red states are overrepresented electorally. Get it? We pay more but are represented less. Snowflake Trump only received 46% of the vote and won by about 75,000 votes combined in three states out of 127 million. He lost the popular vote by almost 3 million now and almost 2% of the entire country. That's a LOT of disagreement.

We have seen the right demonize for eight years. It appears the snowflakes on the right are not used to what will be equal treatment coming back on them with relish. This must be traumatizing for them. If SNL bothers the snowflakes on the right, don't watch it. We don't care what Fox News does, we don't watch it. We are a very divided country and now the snowflakes on the right are going to see what that means.

As I pointed out in the previous 'SNL makes Twump sad' thread:

Saturday Night Live has been making fun of politicians and public figures for 41 years.

Forty.
One.
Years.

NEVER before, in their entire history, has a politician whined and complained so publicly about it.

The problem isn't SNL.

Isn't that the problem is that you guys DON'T watch any of the opposing viewpoints? That you live in an echo chamber and actually DO NOT understand the other side? So you just opt to demonize.


And quit being such a repetitive shill. You've been schooled over and over again on these forums when it comes to the EC, you just refuse to understand the basics of it. If you did you wouldn't keep repeating those tired arguments or asking the same questions.


The EC delegitimizes the very concept of the popular vote. It means practically nothing. You guys just desperately want to take away power you guys feel are underserving to solidify your politics onto the rest of the country.


A candidate has to win states and appeal to people in those states. Obama was able to do it TWICE. Just cus Hillary couldn't do it and Trump it doesn't mean you get to upend the system to get what you want.


Stop being a snowflake.

Our family is all Democratic and nearly all of them have served in the military out of high school before attending college. Neither snowflake Trump or his children can claim that.

Nope, the problem is the thin orange skin of the Con-man-elect. He sure knows how to mock and ridicule other people, but he sure can't take a little in return. It's going to be a fun four years.

Only 25% of the population (TV Viewers) voted for Trump and probably half of those will deeply regret that within a short time. So where would there be any substantial audience for alt-Right content? Maybe streaming from a website, but not from a major broadcast network. Most of those who vote for such candidates know that they're unworthy and dishonest, but do it because they think some benefits will come to them. They'll take the spoils that are looted from the others, but that doesn't mean they would want to watch such low-grade fare on TV.
