Walking down the midway at the State Fair in Minot, I encountered a young man wearing a T-shirt that said “I clean my guns with the tears of triggered liberals.” I looked up that phrase on the internet and found websites selling apparel with those words. I was surprised at the juvenile nature of hateful printed slogans. I have continued to give thought to why someone would actually find it pleasurable to make people cry.
I concluded that calling a person a “liberal” entitles the speaker to say hateful things. Like vicious cutting remarks followed by “bless her heart.” The term liberal is an all encompassing phrase used by people who don’t like certain personal characteristics.
Sensitive people are disliked because they consider other people’s feelings. They demonstrate sensitivity to others, and in the mind of the critic, take money from working people and give it to others who don’t work. These sensitive people are hard to manage because they ask questions and worry about other people when it is none of their business.
Intelligent people are disliked because they challenge conventional wisdom. They quote things they have read and speak with confidence about technical issues they have studied. Who would have time for such stuff? These intelligent people find meaning in weird stuff and probably look down on not so intelligent people. They overthink everything. They are annoying. Let’s just call them “liberals.”
Compassionate people are disliked and called liberal because they care too much about too many things. Liberals care about animals, the environment, migrants, even other countries. These “liberal folks need to let things go and just worry about their own folks. No need to get all worked up about suffering people, people have always suffered."
In my encounter with the young man at the fair, I was surprised at my initial reaction. I am guessing this young man wore this shirt as a taunt. He was taunting people who reacted with alarm (triggered) to key phrases or thoughts. By saying “I clean my guns with the tears of triggered liberals," he is attempting to trigger a reaction. It worked on me. I am angry about senseless deaths due to gun violence. Innocent people killed because guns are in the hands of people who should never have them.
It is true people cry about those deaths. Those are not liberal or conservative tears. Taunting a group of people who want to spare the lives of the innocent by metaphorically cleaning your gun with their tears is beyond juvenile. It suggests the wearer of that shirt thinks his guns are more important than those lives.
I wanted to ask the T-shirt wearer “is there anything so precious to him that if he lost it he would cry?” Does he have parents, a friend, wife, children, pets, that if he lost them he would cry? Would he want his tears to clean the instrument that took away the things he loved?
I realized taunting people with slogans is a cover. It is like the kid who doesn’t know the answer in class and is afraid of being called stupid, saying something he hopes is funny enough to distract the class and make him appear clever.
Compassionate, sensitive and intelligent people actually care about the people spitting names at them. They are the people who actually work for a better life for the people taunting them. If and when conservatives cry from tragic loss, the people they have been taunting will stand with them. That is what liberals have always done.
Yes.
So do about 20 other folks.
Thanks for your feedback.
I see what you did here, with this post.
Good stuff.

Written like a true beta. Poor baby. Sucked on mommies boobies too long.
Probably, even though there’s no such thing as a transgender person.
Indeed.
That’s right.
The hypocrisy of the lefties knows no bounds.
It's really hard to give a
It depends on what you mean by "sensitive people".
If you mean truly empathetic people they are rarely disliked because they do consider other people and try to make them feel comfortable.
But "sensitive people" that you have to tiptoe around because they whine at high volume every time they don't get exactly what they want when they want it and how they want it and oh isn't everything just horrible sob sob boo-hoo.....
Ah SHUT-UP!
:smack:
Grow up!
And the worst part?! There’s way too many on this planet!
I know, why give a bleep what spoiled girly men think?!
“I wanted to ask the T-shirt wearer “is there anything so precious to him that if he lost it he would cry?””
.
The ability to walk away from nutcases like the author.
.
“These sensitive people are hard to manage because they ask questions and worry about other people when it is none of their business.”
.
The fact that the author says that like it is a good thing assures me that a sensible course of action to lock up all such progs in a stylish soundproof and “upholstered room dressed in a new all white dinner jacket” (never mind the really long sleeves) was a very good idea.
Reading the current news clearly indicates the wisdom in this, then and now.
Carful observation of the progs clearly indicate such measures are still quite valid (for their comfort and privacy).
Since these measures are currently not in use it is advisable that normal American Citizens bring a safety tool when venturing out of the house.
About 32 oz ought to do nicely.

It was posted so we can ridicule the premise and the idiot that wrote it, not as propaganda. Duh!
Same reason children and women cry.
I have a very liberal relative who will accuse Trump and every other Republican of racism and then howled about some Somalis who were moved into her neighborhood (there is no way they could have afforded it so tax dollars, either direct or indirect, must be paying for it). Tears of liberal hypocrisy are the sweetest.
This guy really thinks highly of himself and his fellow liberals. HE’S SOOOO….WONDERFUL.
