I could have told you that years ago, when I was still in University.

Limousine Liberals, Gucci Communists, and Volvo Socialists/Vulva Socialites.
The young, “cis-male” “White Devils” became activists because apparently activists get all the pussy. :P

I long ago learned that getting p*ssy from an activist leftist female is not worth the emotional price of having to put up with her.

Its obviously organized quite well by a certain government employees union. Their ranks feel threatened. They should be.

“I’m used to stuff not going my way,” she said. “There’s always some kind of obstacle I have to overcome just because I’m a young African American female. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who are upset about Trump."

The people who are upset by Trump have the least to lose from any administration. Their support of socialism/communism is mostly virtue signaling--it's not like *they* will experience the consequences of the government becoming socialist. (They will, though.)

Kinda off-topic, but this is another example of how liberals have taken over the language. Liberals are no longer liberals. They are now “progressives”.

What’s next? Will liberals someday label non-PC free speech as “hate speech”? Oh, wait. They are already doing that.

Interesting little statistic is that only 8.3% of DC is of Hispanic descent. 49% black, 43.6% white. If this breakdown is accurate it indicates that the Hispanic demographic is overrepresented.

The picture is from State Street in Salt Lake, just South of North Temple.

Those are literally the ONLY Leftists in all of Utah.

Coulda rounded ‘em up right there, no problems forever after...

PS: half of them have probably never seen a black person since there’s only two or three in Utah (just joking, there’s 4 or 5 now...). If they ever set foot in Detroit it would terrify their little petunia hearts...

It's good that you put Progressives in quotation marks, because they are not. What they are is Regressives

Just a slight change to the title.

ICYMI: The Heart Of Anti-Trump Resistance Is Mostly A Bunch Of self righteous White Progressives

High-income residents are among the most likely Trump protesters this year.

High-income residents of DC are either top-level Swamp dwellers, lobbyists, or government contractors -- people slated to lose the most under a reforming administration.

No, I don’t consider myself a misogynist. The only women I’ve ever had a problem with are ones of the “progressive” variety. I’m sure THEY would consider me a misogynist, but I’m not really all that concerned about their opinions, TBH.

>>Kinda off-topic, but this is another example of how liberals have taken over the language. Liberals are no longer liberals. They are now “progressives”.

They were “Progressives” back when our side was “Liberal”. Progressives have been with us since before the Bolshevik Revolution and the phrase was coined by the father of American Progressivism, who was a Republican Senator. Betcha didn’t know about him, did you?

Liberal was not originally about turning our lives over the government. Classical liberalism is the exact opposite. But, when the Russian “experiment” didn’t go so well and people started wanting Communists out of American politics, people already knew of the Progressive-Communist connection.

Communists seek communism through revolution.

Progressives seek communism through gradual changes in thoughts. They are the inventors of the “nudge”, the slow changing of how we think by controlling how we act and what we can say through regulation and social pressure. Progressivism is kindler-gentler Communism. It is a thousand points of light against what they consider the darkness of capitalism.

So, the Progs took “liberal” from us by the use of the nudge.

After Obama’s election, they felt empowered enough to dust off the old red flag and start owning up to their Progressive roots. Yes, it is about “progress”, but it is not progress as a Christian would understand.

I think Trump emotes and vents in a way that minorities and the unwashed can relate to. He is a scrapper and he demands respect and loyalty. He is also tolerant of responses in kind. He can dish and take. I have not found many minorities that don’t like him. Watching Trump bash the white privileged elite is healing the racial divides. It is reminding us the battle is not racial or religious or even partisian but between a wannabe ruling class and us incorrigibles.
