Other than the "build the wall" and "Trump's gonna deport you" shtick, most of this stuff seems old hat for good ole US of A.

America is racist as hell, some of this stuff was going on before, but I did just see that hate crimes have spiked since the election. Wonder if the same thing happens if Clinton wins i.e. People lashing out?

I'm just glad New Yorkers are being exposed as legitimately terrible people.

They're terrible, fascist principles, but people prefer that to having no principles. Your second sentence is correct, the Dems are weirdly afraid to campaign on **** like Obamacare and job creation.

The flag burning kerfluffle is a great example. It's super easy for the SeattleLous out there to point out that Hillary supported the same **** as Trump back in the day. Sure she's clearly the lesser of two evils here, but the blatant pandering and triangulating has crippled the party's response.
Absolutely right. The left has to propose and argue strongly for the left wing policies we believe in.

As I regularly point out, just trying to be slightly to the left of the right wing party is a disasterous strategy.

This is why we are doomed.

Trump is absolutely and beyond any shadow of a doubt incapable of navigating international diplomacy and talking to foreign leaders. This was one of my biggest issues in the election. There is zero chance trump has any understanding of issues related to Pakistan or more importantly India and Pakistan.

This will play out over and over with trump during his tenure. Diplomacy is a complicated and nuanced dance which absolutely will not tolerate the antics that made him president.

But people think Clinton might cause a world war.

With any luck all the clueless buffoon will do is make a few more gushing phone calls to world leaders (presumably this is what he means when he talks about his powers of persuasion and doing deals) and will ignore any non-pressing issues affecting the RoW.

I imagine it matters a lot where you live. In Australia anyway, I've heard language openly used in country pubs that would get you thrown out and possibly punched in the major cities.

Id guess its the same here. Problem is some of people claiming racism is dead are form the rural areas so they should hear and see it.

Hey, we had it right on Trump; I believe NYC overall was something like 78-20 against him. Go bash Macomb (MI) and Luzerne (PA) Counties for putting him in office.

Assuming you were talking about the Queens guy ranting from the white SUV, he's an obvious outlier. In four of the five boroughs, Trump is reviled.

I'm such a sucker for Hollywood, I thought underneath the tough "big city" exterior, New Yorkers were supposed to be salt-of-the-earth sweethearts.

Btw not trying to bash anyone at all - but this thread is the kind of liberal hate porn I'm trying to purposely avoid since the election. So thanks for containing it in one thread which I will be unsubscribing from

It's not that this stuff isn't true, or scary. It's that it creates an avatar of the other side which is the distilled worst of the worst - and I was about as deep into as you can get until the election.

This is the video that was posted here and really opened my eyes to the fact that not only is my family in a bubble, but so am I.



Here's my long-winded "blog post" about it. The initiative is going pretty well so far. My Mom and I are having good conversations which are getting more and more frequent. If we have some kind of breakthrough I will try to publish my methods and results. My dream is that a year from now she realizes how much FoxNews et al is the Big Lie.

I am happy for you suzzer. Hope everything works out for you.
