Part of the reason so many angry Hillary voters are violently protesting is because in order to keep gays and women on the plantation, Democrats have engaged in blatant scaremongering tactics using surrogate groups like the Human Rights Campaign (a group that still exists only because perpetuating the illusion of victimhood is easier than getting a real job). And naturally, because these groups have been perpetuating the scare tactics, a lot of gullible Hillary voters now claim to be frightened.
Jay Brown, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights organization, said its office had received calls throughout the day on Wednesday from frightened people who wanted to know what the election results might mean for them.
Some callers wondered if they should speed up wedding plans so they could be married before the inauguration, in case a President Trump tries to overturn gay marriage, he said. Others worried that the military would reinstate “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the ban on openly gay and lesbian service members that ended in 2011.
(Oddly enough, this apocryphal story of gays rescheduling same-sex weddings is being echoed by virtue-signaling liberals) in other parts of the country.
For months, I’ve been looking forward to a same-sex wedding taking place this winter, where I would be working as the couple’s photographer. Now that Trump is our President-Elect, they’ve moved up their wedding date in case they won’t be able to get married once he takes office. Another young woman who recently came to her family asked me, “Will it even be safe to be openly gay here anymore?” Another woman in her 30s that I know was emboldened to come out to her family yesterday. “It was hard, but important to be heard and seen.” She said that as scared she is, she feels that this is a way for her to be brave and take action after the election.
The idea that Trump is going to unilaterally overturn gay marriage within a month of taking office is stupid. And if that’s what you’re afraid of, yes, you are also stupid. The Democrat Party keeps you stupid and scared because it’s the best way to keep you voting for them. Even if Trump wanted to… which I doubt he does… it would take years to overturn the Obergefell decision (even if it is a decision that’s unsupportable by any objective reading of the Constitution). And I don’t believe he has any intention of doing so. The Democrat Party every election scares women into thinking birth control and abortion will be outlawed by Republican presidents; none of whom have ever even made any attempt to outlaw either.
The willingness of people willing to go through life ignorant and frightened for the benefit of a corrupt political party is both baffling and offensive.
Considering the HRC has added ‘queer’ to the list, they are working hard to be a foreman. Other than fear and lies, there are no good reasons to follow the company line of the left.
It is offensive.
As well as the deliberate hoaxes being perpetrated.
Had someone claim that there were reports of racial violence “all over the news” on “CNN and Fox and other places”. But when challenged to produce a link to them, they said that they didn’t want to do my research for me.
Oh, I hammered him hard on burden of proof. I mean HARD.
Oh, and the only way to overturn a Supreme Court decision like this is to:
a) Pass a constitutional amendment, something the president has no direct say in, and often takes years, or
b) Bring up another case through the court system which also takes years.
No, an executive order cannot do it. Or at least SHOULD not do it. Leftists seem to think the president has dictatorial powers, now. Funny how everyone is in favor of tyranny when the tyrant is in your favor.
The professional agitators and manipulators have convinced the weak-minded that the fleets of battleship-gray prison buses are ready to carry them off to the camps and the cattle-cars. “Oh poor me, boo-hoo…”
I. Have. No. F*cking. Sympathy.
Yes, people seem to want it. I’ve pondered a long time, why that should be. I think it’s a narcissistic distortion of the human need for life to have a meaning (or for one’s life to be meaningful). In other words: A cheap way for drama queens to feel special.
We’ve seen, with certain GP commentors, how resistant people can be to giving it up. You cite facts and evidence, for example, that the Orlando mass-murderer’s anti-gay motivations had far more to do with Islamism than Republicanism, and certain people simply will not hear it.
They would much rather confront the phony threat that makes them feel mock-frightened (like a scary movie) and dramatic and important to human history, than the genuine threat that would make them feel deep-down frightened and powerless and unimportant.
Ginning up fear is a scare tactic of the left. Once there suspicions are found wanting, they will gin up another bout of fear. It is never ending with these people.
Notice that they report receiving calls from hand-wringing bed-wetters who are worried. They aren’t receiving calls from anyone reporting any actions or abuse, just hysterical fears about mythical Horsemen from the Trump Apocalypse.
From local news in Los Angeles Friday night, covering the third night of post-electon protests in Downtown LA:
Black guy protestor pushing woman identified as his mother in a wheelchair: “We want to send a message to Washington DC that Donald Trump is NOT our president!”
KABC-TV reporter: “What do you hope to achieve by these protests?”
Protestor: “Recall!”
So does he want to recall Donald Trump as President of California, or does he want a “do over” of the election in the same way a professor will offer an exam do-over to a class that has universally failed it?
I’m confused…the language of the civics-challenged is so difficult to decipher most of the time.

I believe that some of the demonstrators think if they cause enough vandalism and violence Obama will declare martial law and postpone the inauguration.
These folks are going to look very stupid when Trump turns out to be a gay friendly President.
And finally, yesterday was when I purged 95% of my gay “friends” and acquaintances from Facebook. I want nothing to do with these people.
George Orwell once remarked in his writings on his time in the Raj, that there were British who took perverse pleasure in the role of oppressor, and there were Indians who took perverse pleasure in the role of the oppressed. The cry bullies of the Left are merely trying to have their cake and eat it too by trying to play both oppressor and oppressed at the same time, and that’s why it comes off as so phony and obnoxious.
@ Niall: It won’t matter if Trump marries a same-sex couple every day of his presidency. To the Gays, he will be the perpetual threat of extinction, even when he’s out of office, like some early Christians thought Nero was going to rise from the grave to lead more persecutions of Christians.
To Sean L. The left is creating a false narrative that there is a wave of Muslim-bashing sweeping the nation perpetrated by hate-empowered Trump supporters. It is reprehensible.
As Mencken wrote, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
I think Mencken meant this as a criticism, not the Democrat Party’s mission statement.
One downside of the internet is that people suffering pathological paranoia can now infect a far larger audience of susceptible people that they could have done in the old days.
If Hillary would have won, I’d be disappointed… pissed off and disgusted but I cannot imagine crying about it or missing work (or school if I were younger) to go riot in the streets.
I would find ways to do my part to obstruct the harmful parts of her agenda, though. We still have legal and peaceful means of doing so (and I’m hoping that continues lest we wind up where Europe is heading).
@KCRob : this is likely because you have working neurons, connected, up and running, that are in charge, striving to use logic and reason to serve your self-interest.
Others have been FUBAR’ed by the left :
Formatted Usefully Beyond All Repair.
“Is it Really Fair for Democrats to Terrorize People Like This?”
Yes! Everyone knows that everything leftists do to good, by definition.
“12.These folks are going to look very stupid when Trump turns out to be a gay friendly President.”
History teaches us that they won’t miss a beat.
Myself … I almost didn’t vote for him for just that reason.
@ 9, Bill Burr comes off more like a Hollywood liberal in that rant. He’s lost his touch.
