I understand about Trump saying some things that weren't proper such as Miss Piggy, about news reporters, calling some Mexicans bad names etc I have also heard about Pence and LGBT conversion therapy, lawsuits, some 13 year old girl, etc However compared to Clinton crimes these seem minuscule to me. It is just bizarre to me the reaction to his election. I don't think Trump is even that socially conservative, fiscally yes. I am going plead stupidity and please someone play devils advocate so I can get a grasp on this crap
I was sorta hoping that these Facebook/Twitter grade vanities would go away once Trump won.
Before the election, many were actually good.
But this one here? IMO, no. Nothing newsworthy, nothing chatworthy, nothing new.
I would suggest the “stuff white people like” blog to get a good grasp of the mindset of the anti-Trump/democracy sucks! protesters.
Remember Herman Cain? He had several women accusers when he ran in the primaries four years ago (or was it eight). Once he dropped out of the race, they went away. I get so tired of politics, and the press. Alinsky said make your opponent live up to their own rules. Conservatives have to be squeaky clean, but progressives have no moral standards. I voted for Trump because I wanted someone to upset the progressive, socialist, and establishment apple carts.
re: I don’t think Trump is even that socially conservative, fiscally yes.
Trump’s immigration and trade policies are not conservative in the sense of a Reagan conservative or Taft conservative or Corporatist-conservative or Capitalist-conservative.
Trump’s rhetoric for another Shovel-Ready Stimulus is not conservative by anyone’s definition. It is pure Keynesian.
As many Blacks around me said yesterday:
We can accept Trump because he is not a real Republican.
Thank you for your response
Thank you
For the same reason that a leftist will condemn a free society over some real but minor problem, but when there is a major problem or atrocity in an Islamic or communist country, the same leftist will ignore the atrocity or even excuse or praise it. For the same reason the leftist will proclaim that he hates Thomas Jefferson because Jefferson had slaves but he will adore almost any Islamist or communist dictator.
So true
The little brats have spent their entire lives inside an echo chamber where they’ve been indoctrinated into the belief that any white person who doesn’t continually spew liberal bromides about diversity and multiculturalism is a member of the KKK who wants to either kill or deport everybody who’s ancestors weren’t on the Mayflower.
Liberals have branded themselves as good, rational, smart, educated. In short, they’ve wrapped themselves in the mantle of goodness/morality. And like Islam, the highest good is the image, strengthening and spread of the ideology - making corruption, abuse of power and actual assaults on people who deviate from the “faith” acceptable.
Liberal ideology is not yet to the point of Islam killing its critics, more recently allowing physical violence against dissenters in the name of fighting hate, though they’ve called for outlawing deviating opinions under hate speech rules (if you’re love, all dissent is based on hate, call for banning hate speech which means outlawing dissent). The same is seen by saying “jail climate skeptics”. Tolerance has been redefined to “endorse us or shut up, you evil person, speak again and I’ll hit you”.
This branding also lets them smear anyone who disagrees as stupid, evil, bigoted, at best uneducated. You don’t have to listen to a raving lunatic or evil person ... except they have now “othered” and demonized people with very legitimate concerns.
So they haven’t just told people to shut up, they’ve said shut up you evil person, over and over again. And they do it while denying very real problems, whether feminists threatened and no-platformed for fighting on the side of fear of rape over the feelings of transgenders and risk of perverts abusing that class to access girls. This has even happened to classic liberal feminists who aren’t up to the latest trends in morality.
When you bring up the workforce participation rates falling and growing poverty due to illegal and legal immigration, your pain and suffering don’t matter, you racist.
Talk about the 3/4 of Muslims in the West who per Pew polls who support Shariah principles like ending free speech (criticism of Islam) and outlawing homosexuality, half that say Shariah law should be the law regardless of what everyone else wants ... you’re a mindless bigot.
This is the end result of liberals basing morality on feelings, but only theirs, reinforced by a racist, sexist social justice hierarchy that demonizes people on the basis of demographics they can’t control and assigns moral weight based on one’s places.
This is how calling for the death of white men is acceptable by Ms. Dunham and the hash tag kill all white men isn’t a problem with Twitter’s trust and safety council. Such open bias is another reason they generate so much rage, especially when they tell these people “you have this bias, I know you do, you just hide it well or deny it, ignore my explicit bias in saying you’re evil for being white/male/etc”.
The other problem with a moral hierarchy is that it creates double and triple standards. Not only does it let liberals say “men can’t talk about rape” or “whites can’t talk about affirmative action”, it applies different rules. School discipline policies now say “disparate impact”, and since blacks commit 3x more offenses, they get punished only 1/3 of the time. Illegal immigrant ID theft and tax law violations, not an issue. White person sells food through Facebook, the law comes down hard. Liberals endorse their moral hierarchy because they are at the top of it - which is why the Queen Clinton couldn’t be seen as wrong no matter her crimes. All she did for the party was reason enough.
The liberal political system also assigned appropriate views to each group. Real blacks, women and homosexuals are Democrat. This is the merging of faith with tribe, reinforced by the state. So a woman who isn’t a feminist isn’t really a woman and you can demonize her the way liberals say conservatives treat women. Look at Thomas Sowell savagely condemned for criticizing affirmative action, Justice Clarence Thomas called a race traitor. They’re assigning you your allowed political beliefs tied to identity group, relying on social pressure to then force political conformity. And you get a lot of angry “others” when you’re a black pro-lifer demonized for not living up to Democrats pro-abortion mode, a homosexual who says their redefinition of marriage is only a step to destroy it. Shun the disbeliever. Next step, death to the heretics. Isn’t it nice when you can use religious practices known to work to reinforce your ideology and its implementation on everyone?
Enjoy trolling? The Mexicans he called “bad names” deserved it. Illegals committed over 800k crimes in Texas alone in a relatively few years. Got a problem with conversion therapy? It works about a third of the time. The sodomite lifestyle is utterly evil and is associated with high level of intra sodomite violence, drug abuse, loathesome diseases, narcissistic mental disorders, pedophilia, etc. As for “Miss Piggy”, if you mean Machado what do you know about her? She not only violated her contract in which she agreed to not get chubby while she was enjoying the benefits of being Miss Universe, she has connections to a drug lord and perhaps ought to be in prison. Now go back to DU or KOS. If you aren’t from there you are probably one of the legion of dim Bushie type Rs who absorb lies from the MSM.
I am going plead stupidity
*******
Actually you gone wrote stupidity.
It all comes down to a verbal shell-game.
“Semantics defines how we think” to quote author Michael Z Williamson. Which is why liberals are so big on “hate speech.” They don’t want anyone messing with their ability to define what is thought. “Political Correctness” allows them to be intolerant while still professing tolerance.
It’s like saying “I’m not a perfectionist, I just want it done right.”
Naturally, conservatives infer this even if they can’t precisely articulate it.
The problem is if you can’t articulate to the liberal that insisting on pejorative definitions that ones opposition would in no way accept they are free to disregard the valid charge of hypocrisy.
By refusing to allow another’s semantics, terms, and definitions, they are refusing to allow another’s opinion.
