Seems like just a couple of weeks ago, the Democrat Media Complex was wringing its little hands over the thought that Trump supporters might not accept the outcome of the election.
- Spoiled high school punks in Berkeley walk out of class, waving Mexican flags and chanting “Si, se puede.”
- Spoiled leftists block freeway in Portland OR.
- Spoiled leftists in NYC take to the street chanting obscenities in anti-Trump protest.
- Spoiled college leftists in Washington DC protest Trump by burning the American Flag.
- Additional #NotMyPresident protest planned for Boston.
The Democrat Front Group MoveOn.Org is planning and bankrolling additional protests of the election that didn’t go the way they wanted it to.
In California, disappointed leftists are organizing a secession movement. Wonder if these are the same people who threatened military force would be used again to keep the country together if other states wanted to secede from the People’s Republic of Obama.
Democrat Media Complex … not especially concerned that Hillary supporters are refusing to accept the election results.
Let me ask you, when Mitt Romney lost, did anybody do this?
Says a lot about the state of the left today… Protest, destroy, burn – and whine.
That’s because, I think, many of them are still in shock. It. Wasn’t. Supposed. To. Turn. Out. Like. This. But it has, and they are still busy trying to explain to themselves why it happened. Meanwhile, out here in Middle America (akin to Middle Earth to many urbanites), no explanation is necessary. So as ILC suggested earlier, perhaps it’s benevolent to give them a few days to process before they can realistically be expected to start covering real news again.
However, if the tantrums continue (and I personally expect they will), then they will be remiss in not covering them and also highlighting the ridiculousness of continuing to protest something which has happened in the past yet in reality, has not yet taken place.
I knew it would happen, but it is beyond irritating nonetheless. This whole #NotMyPresident crap is 2001-2008 all over again. Forget STEM and language proficiency for a moment and let’s focus on what really needs to be taught in schools again: basic civics. That means the Constitution, the Declaration Of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Magna Carta and other documents which have made the USA what it is today in terms of basic government and political structure. Maybe then the generation which is taught these things will come to realize that being a citizen means a whole lot more than opening your yap every time something doesn’t go your way as well as that if you were alive and a citizen from 2001 to 2017, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump were all your presidents—whether you voted for them or not.
Maybe we could focus on what Clinton said in her concession speech?
Krystallnacht.
When you have the mind of a 7 year old, you just explode.
New reader here. Love it! What’s going on is ridiculous. That video is old, though. It was just people smashing their TVs whenever Trump spoke during the campaign. Still immature, regardless…
[Actually, I had already had second thoughts about its authenticity and had already decided to delete it – VtK]
That comparison doesn’t work. Many on the left have argued before yesterday that some of the support Trump was getting was something completely new, different to Bush, McCain, Romney, etc. They put him and a good cross section of his supporters in a completely different bracket (or basket).
IF Trump lost the election, you can’t make the argument some of his supporters would not have acted the same way (nor can I say they would, but see below). This is a new beast. An anti-establishment candidate who used fear-mongering in his speeches. If you disagree, then explain this:

That being said, I don’t agree with violence in protest or such displays from any side.
What happens when everyone was given trophies as children. They don’t know how to lose. Pathetic.
James O’Keefe is no better than Michael Moore when it comes to journalistic/documentarian integrity.
Fired for selling her out or fired for engaging in unapproved tactics?
I knew a few people who said the same things / wore “Not My President” t-shirts in school back in 2000/2001 with W. My response now is similar to my response then – recognize they’re idiots and/or ignorant and then reach out when I can (especially now with Trump). It may be futile with a lot of these people, but the biggest battle I see team Trump facing now is helping people understand that this was Western populism, not “white” populism. The more I can do to help explain this clearly, the better.
The TV smashing was kinda funny. As are the Left’s constitutionally-protected demonstrations… of what babies they are.
If they’re going to loot again though, that’s bad.
As to Hillary’s concession speech: She said basic things to calm her supporters that every losing candidate, Republican or Democrat, says (or ought to).
In effect, CCP, you want us to praise Hillary for engaging in proper behavior. Has the bar fallen that low? Or is it more a philosophy that when a criminal does something right or good, we should specially praise them?
ILC, they’re going to loot. They aren’t getting paid enough from their Fascist masters.
I’m not sure you follow what I was saying. V the K posted all these awful and unproductive things that some people are doing (which is fine; that’s his choice). I’d rather focus on what she said in her speech:
It was a good speech, and I wish more people on the left would take what she has to say to heart. Comparing her to a witch and highlighting the immaturity on the left isn’t helping either.
Yeah, that’s the speech I meant. Yeah, the words are mostly nice. They’re also normal for losing American candidates.
Good question. Scott Adams broke this down at the time it happened in in one of his Periscope sessions. He noted that the Clinton campaign denied any involvement in the actions—and then fired those involved from whatever their official role was in the campaign. The gay dude [whose name escapes me at the moment] admitted in the video that they had been doing this “for decades”. SA noted that the fact they had fired the people involved meant that they were guilty of something and thus essentially admitted to the dirty tricks. Why they were fired is irrelevant to the issue, as they were deemed toxic to the campaign—or at least the image of the campaign, and therefore needed to be separated.
But it does make one wonder what would have happened if there weren’t a video admission and simply a mole who made an allegation that might not have been easy to completely disprove. Theoretically, campaigns are like intelligence or combat: you might do things which are unethical or questionable (or perhaps simply “not nice things to do”), but as long as they aren’t illegal and can’t be traced directly to the campaign, they are acceptable unless someone happens to talk about them. That these disruption tactics had been apparently been standard operating practice for years suggests that the practitioners had become so inured to their presence that they had forgotten how clandestine they actually were. Thus proving the old wartime adage, “Loose lips sink ships.”
So, dissent is patriotic again?
Huh, wonder why that is? Oh, right, because the Left are every bit the racists, bigots, sexists, and monstrous human beings they claim the Right to be — they see themselves in everyone else.
This quote of Hillary’s is downright offensive:
…given that she really means a corrupt, dictatorial America where government uses coercion to “take things away” from its citizens (Hillary’s famous phrase) and she is above the law.
An America that is actually hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted would, out of respect for its citizens’ rights to life liberty and property, have the smallest government possible. And would jail its most-corrupt politicians.
Succession is no surprise; that’s always been one of the four pillars of the Democrat party – along with Slavery, Segregation (now brilliantly resurrected as “safe spaces”) and Socialism.
