Huh? Then why did the communist party endorse Hillary???

No thanks it's time to move on. Cry me a river.

That's exactly why I voted for Donald Trump too. I am so fed up with almost all politicians of all parties who are so full of themselves, their power, voting themselves out of legislation they claim is great for the country (ACA), voting themselves into being allowed to break the law were they not in Congress (insider trading), creating wealth for themselves at we the people's expense & then thumbing their noses at us. The arrogance is disgusting.

They do not live in the real world. The policies they enact for us do not effect them. It's a well oiled machine in Washington D.C. which is why even Republican politicians have not completely been in favor of Trump. None want to lose their over the top benefits nor their egotistical control & power. They truly believe they are irreplaceable. They are not!

I am willing to give President Trump a chance to learn what he can & cannot do & how to do it. I am looking forward to the U.S. Constitution being the law of the land as close as Congress will allow it to happen. I believe Donald Trump sees & understands the injustices that have been increasing against the American people & he's willing & able to do what he can to correct them. It's going to take longer as long as the distraction of attacking him occurs. Quit fighting for the greedy politicians & give him a chance at least.

The tantrum throwing liberals need binkies and safe spaces. I hope Trump doesn't give them any of that. They can go to hell after the way they've ruined the country and smeared everyone who disagrees with them.

If you have to ask -- you aren't listening and don't want to.

What a stupid question!

It's kind of a no-brainer to be "enraged" at the incalculable loss we all face, as a nation. I'm sorry that your cultish worship of Trump has blinded you to the fact that he couldn't care less about you. Some of us have been watching the Trump Show, off and on, for decades. The guy is a well-known con artist--always has been, always will be. Used to be that anyone who spouted off the insanities of a Trump (I can shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and wouldn't lose any voters!) would have been shuttled off to a mental ward. Apparently, his supporters are so far off the deep end and in denial about this crash dummy that not only was he was right, they cheered him on into the White House. So yeah, liberals--and a good number of self-respecting Republicans--are horrified, and not a little "enraged."

By the way, speaking of inchoate rage: I'm still waiting for that secret Muslim army that, according to right wingers, Obama was supposedly building in order to force Sharia law on the United States. Any idea when it might be arriving? I'd like to be prepared.
If you're that enraged, then you should have been a little smarter during the campaign and suggested to Queen Hillary that she not take MI, WI, PA and OH for granted.

Supreme Court is a total robbery. I don't agree with Trumps kissing up to corporations wanting to throw their toxins in lakes and rivers. Don't like the way Wall Street has moved into the White House. Worried about another recession under Trump...

What's really sad is that the Dems with all their bragging couldn't or more appropriately wouldn't put up a decent presidential candidate but instead nominated Queen Hillary the Hildebeast. Democrats knew she's a proven pathological liar, a fraud, a race baiter, a wealthy snobby elitist, and brought in millions of dollars to her "foundation" by providing donor countries favors. Add to that the Benghazi fiasco and email scandal, cheating in the debates, and her passing out in public from unknown health issues and there you have the worst candidate in the entire United States. The only thing that mattered to the DNC was that it was her turn to be president. Yet her cultist lemmings fell all over themselves supporting her. Pretty wacky huh? The rest is history

I can't relate to what the OP describes.
I travel frequently and haven't encountered any of the above described behavior.
What's odd to me are the numerous antagonistic threads claiming that the left is so enraged and constantly whining about Trump. When people keep repeating these types statements over and over they're presenting a stereotype that is untrue. Who are you trying to convince?
Some of this amateur psychology diagnosing is amusing and completely off base.
Have you turned on a television or read a newspaper since the inauguration?

Your cohorts on the left are in full meltdown, whether you've encountered it on your travels or not.

This^ I wouldn't have cared had say Romney or Kasich won. I disagree with their views and policies, but I wouldn't view them as a threat to the nation.

The issue is who won. The man is absolutely insane and mentally unstable. Absolutely clueless about what he's doing, he's the most corrupt person to ever sit in the office, and he's a serious threat to both this country and the world at large.

That's our issue. Not that it's not a Democrat, but that it's someone who is an absolute disgrace to the office.
