For those of you on the left I know it is hard. You are confused, bewildered and deeply, deeply saddened. Maybe even triggered. You probably missed work or school yesterday, called in sick or simply didn’t get out of bed. That’s ok though because your Indigenous Women’s Studies prof said it was ok to skip the exam today. Everyone is getting an A as a morale builder. So cheer up.

These MoveOn.org and Black Lives Matters terrorists funded by George Soros should be dropped into some ME hell hole and left to face ISIS and Al Queda. Let these coddled vermin experience what our troops have faced for years. Bring back the draft and send these wimps off to boot camp!
It’s reality time for the whiners and Soros Army of traitors, ya think?
I spoke to some millennials last night and tried explaining that their taxes were going down significantly along with Obamacare costs. I reassured them that no one is coming for the LGBTs. When I mentioned Justice Scalia, Common Core, Vince Foster, and Bernie’s new mansion on Lake Champlain, they became confused and said they hadn’t heard of such things.

Wow, sad. The left has mastered group think. What are the eight key dysfunctions of group think, the left has turned into weapons against the common man.
Here they are recast as commandments of the progressive left:
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mind guards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

...oh, and my list is growing
Hahaha! Thanks !
I would have put this on the Yuuuge 420,000-strong Facebook Deplorables group in which I was very active, but I got blocked by Facebook! I was silenced by anti-Trump trolls who file spurious complaints against us Deplorables. Facebook said the block conveniently placed on my account 2 days before the election would last 3 days, but when I returned 3 days later, it said I had 3 days more to serve in Facebook solitary confinement. So, I had no choice but to go back to the real world and interact with people face to face. I feel emboldened to crawl out of the woodwork now that Hillary and the Clinton Crime Syndicate is defeated, but the liberals aren't going away, their passive-aggression will worsen.
I didn’t know the author (whatever his real name is) is not a resident or citizen of the USA, even after all these years of reading his articles submitted here.
America is the shining city on a hill for all the world.
With the exception of dictators and issssssslam, I’m betting the rest of the world is thrilled.
The European population may find the balls to stand up to leftist retards like Merkel now. She needs to go on a blind date with a wood chipper and I’m not even German.
The panelists on the Fox noontime "Outnumbered" show today reiterated just about EVERYTHING you said in your well-reasoned message hours prior on FR.
One of the panelists commented about the colleges that are excusing students from exams, holding "cry-ins", providing mental health therapists and even bringing in "comfort dogs" because of the so-called ravaging grief and mental paralysis they are suffering due to Hillary's loss. The Fox panel analyzed these snowflake events just as you did earlier and so very comprehensively in your post.
Another Fox panelist closed the segment by vehemently telling the little wussie students to "GET A JOB, GET A JOB !!!"....as did you in your post, Harley.
Freepers really did a great job all during this presidential campaign in correctly interpreting political tea leaves early and often.
In all modesty, LOL...this includes me, because right from the time Mr. Trump descended that famous escalator I posted over and over on this forum that he would win Florida ...and contrary to all the ongoing polls that belied me, HE DID.
Thanks for all your good work during this campaign, HarleyLady...you're the GREATEST!
(P.S....what numbers should I pick this afternoon for my weekly $2 Lotto-Xtra ticket?)

The key is that we need to use this narrow window to quickly and I mean QUICKLY figure out how to deprogram the snowflake generation from all the lies they have been taught thru public school and university.MSM and their movie star and music “heroes”. Have got to find a way to counteract that and fast. We dont want another 8 golden years of Reagan followed by almost 30 years of tearing this country down. While Trump is leading the charge on all the immediate and mid term crisis problems we’ve got to be strategizing this long term issue. Because we know they will come back even more viscous than ever and we need to win by even wider margins next time. (Fixing illegal issues, voter ID etc will certainly give us some breathing space but I want to see the tide turned back to RIGHT thinking for the majority!)
Prayer in school. Also I want Eagle Scouts to receive a letter from the President. Obama cancelled that.
Reading recently I got it. THE BLUE PILL GENERATION. Color even matches.
RE Madcow:
Might be fun to call in to her show and repeat her own words to her, verbatim.
Like, every day for the next four years.
She’s here, at the 2:41 mark.

Save the video if you can.
Snowflakes represent the wreckage left behind by years of unyielding indoctrination my the LMSM. The consequences of progs controlling the majority of legacy media was to turn the country into something that somewhat resembled a closed society.
“(Fixing illegal issues, voter ID etc will certainly give us some breathing space but I want to see the tide turned back to RIGHT thinking for the majority!)”
I don’t see how it can be done except using the education infrastructure, and that would mean replacing virtually every public school teacher at nearly the same time.
this is really about as good a it gets, from the zerohedge link:
“For those of you on the left I know it is hard. You are confused, bewildered and deeply, deeply saddened. Maybe even triggered. You probably missed work or school yesterday, called in sick or simply didn’t get out of bed. That’s ok though because your Indigenous Women’s Studies prof said it was ok to skip the exam today. Everyone is getting an A as a morale builder. So cheer up.
But unfortunately that doesn’t really explain anything. How did this happen? It wasn’t supposed to happen. But it did. How could the polls be so wrong? What about the entire media? How?
Well, here are a few theories that might help you see where some of your mistakes were made. First, and probably foremost, is just good old fashioned hubris. The idea that “we can’t be beat”. Arrogance mixed with confirmation bias is a dangerous thing in any type of conflict; physical or otherwise. Just ask General Custer. Things didn’t work out real well for him and for the same reasons.
This leads directly into another problem that often arises from hubris. That is: failing to understand your enemy.
It would interest you to know that I, the author of this piece, am not an American. That’s right. I’m not a Yank. I don’t reside in the USA and have no interest in doing so. That means, unlike my illegal immigrant counterparts currently residing in your nation, I didn’t vote.
But like many who fall into the ‘basket of deplorables’ residing in the US I realized early on that the battle between Trump and Clinton was much more than simply a contest between two politicians for the presidency. At its core it was an ideological conflict between light and dark, truth and lies. It was a struggle for the heart of western civilization in general.
And while I’ve never considered myself much of a right winger, being more of a libertarian bent, I have found myself increasingly pushed and marginalized by the “enlightened and progressive” amongst you into the same camp with all sorts of deplorables, regardless of where they lived and what they called themselves. Nationalists, alt righters, anarchists, constitutionalists and so on and so forth all made for strange bedfellows but an effective team. Working on the premise that the enemy of my enemy is my friend we have all found common ground. We have you to thank for that. By pushing, badgering, harassing, marginalizing and insulting us on a regular basis you created something new. And it crushed you at the ballot box.
There were other factors as well. The pesky internet for example. It allowed those of us who could not vote to contribute in other ways. Through memes, leaks and general trolling we cheered and supported our freedom loving brothers and sisters in your country and encouraged them to have heart and stay the course. Of course, our part was small, minisucle really, compared to what our American brothers and sisters had to endure, but you get the picture.
Elections, especially ones mired in icky things like ideology and principle, now cross national boundaries. It sucks I know, but a lack of imagination on your part does not equal or represent a foul on ours. We did nothing illegal or immoral. We simply beat you because, well, we’re smarter than you are.
But not to worry. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to learn from your mistakes. You see, the battle that took place in your polling stations on the 8th of November was just that. A battle. We, the freedom loving peoples of the western world, well, we’re just getting warmed up. To quote the man: “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet“.
So retreat to your safe spaces, grab your adult colouring books and put on a happy face my special snow flakes because regardless of whoever/whatever you are and regardless of what nation it is you reside in, we, the deplorables, are coming for you.”
Just pinging one of the Deplorable threads. Never forget what they think of you!
