Right, a bunch of slackers who didn't want to learn new skill for the job market but instead voted for a guy who is giving them handouts on the backs of the American people, are the ones accusing others of not taking personal responsibility.
A gun ain't going to do crap when the attacker is within close proximity to you.
I want to make this point clear because there are going to be Trump idiots who think they can confront an angry mob as long as they are packing heat; and then get their butts kicked.

They would see the gun before they got close. Anyway, I would rather take my chances with one than without. Or at least have some pepper spray.
Funny how liberals just can't take personal responsibility and answer the question. They always believe two wrongs make a right.
Actually had you read the thread asking a question of the non-trump supporters you would have heard the answers. Your question wasn't an honest one anyway, most people can recognize a good troll thread and that is all you were doing, looking for an excuse to vent some more. Have at it, get it all out, if that is possible.

Dude... come on. What about all us "librul elites" who make tons of money and look down our noses on the "salt of the Earth, God-fearing, conservatives?"
Are we all lazy people with no jobs or are we all over-educated people with so much money that we don't care about blue collar America?
Which is it?
I think it switches back and forth depending on which finger people want to point on a given day.
Reality time:
Some liberals have high-paying jobs. Some have middle-income types of jobs. Some are lower income. Some are unemployed.
JUST LIKE CONSERVATIVES.
Nobody in either group corners the market on money, lack of money, or collecting government aid.
Do you really think all those poor people in rural Mississippi whose skin is white as paper are raging liberals? Naaaawww...
And, make no mistake, they ARE on the dole.
Some of the most vocal conservatives I know are either "on disability" or "just on benefits until they find a new job"... many have been this way for YEARS.
And, yeah... I know that among liberals you can find similar people.
Why do both parties (I am a member of neither) pretend that their party is the one with all the smart people?
There are so many intelligent people of all political leanings.
Why do both parties pretend like theirs is the one with the hard workers and/or the high earners?
It's just NOT true.
Every time someone mentions how a lazy liberal wanted their Obama phone and/or are living in their parents' basement, I think to myself "okay... let's go find the comment about how all these lazy people collecting unemployment are waiting for Big Daddy Trump to give them low-skilled jobs paying 30 bucks an hour will full benefits while living 15 to a mobile home."
Because, it's out there somewhere, you know it is.

When in doubt, check it out: FAQ
Outside your alternative bubble, Trump is actually not that popular. The collective, hive-mind voice of the Trump lemmings is loud...fanatics are generally the most shrill and vocal minority within any group. They come in all colors, from all cultures, from all ideological backgrounds and viewpoints. There are some on the left, some on the right. Some within this or that ethnicity. Some in any religious group. These people tend to get more obsessive and violent than the majority of folks.
I don't have to "hate" anyone to acknowledge the simple fact that Trump is a well-known and admitted fraud, serial philanderer and billionaire elitist corporate sellout (as are The Clintons for that matter),among other things, these facts coupled with his infantile, egomaniacal tendency towards tantrums and bullying make him a less than ideal candidate, much less president. There's nothing presidential about him.
His cabinet appointees and baseless hostility towards longtime US allies only reinforce these feelings.
I understand people demonstrating against Trump. This is a very basic American right. The majority of people, both here and abroad, do not Support Trump, his cronies, or his policies.
This is because the majority of people recognize Trump as someone who cares only about himself and his gang of freakin' Illuminati billionaire overlords. (see 'appointees')
Anyways, all that said, I do NOT condone violence and vandalism as we saw at Berkeley.
Beyond that, when it comes to white pride alt right imbeciles, individuals or organizations like the KKK, I say, they have a right to assemble, speak publicly, etc. It's not something to riot over. Let them say their piece. For every one nutjob they might recruit, there will always be scores more people who are repulsed or who find it laughable.
But people hating Trump as POTUS have real points. He is a very intolerant man, and he preaches intolerance.
The appropriate response to intolerance is to not tolerate it.
The peaceful protesters and the non-violent non radical left should be speaking out loudly against these antifa and other radical violent groups. Police could take active steps to grab the violent ones. They did nothing at Berkeley.
Protesters dressed in normal clothes, without masks, were dancing and cheering during the chaos so it seems they support it too.
