The Left in 2018: Unhinged

If I did wouldn’t you tell me to stop playing victim? You certainly wouldn’t be ok with me saying anything negative about the DNC in general.

I would actually bitch about a video portraying conservatives as white nationalists, and have in fact bitched about such things. Do try again, but try not to fail so badly.

Trump constantly lies and acts like an idiot. He deserves no respect since he hasnt done anything to earn any respect.

Funny though that in your own post you try and act above Conservatives then turn around and start whining just like them. The fact is that both political parties are an embarrassment, and are destroying this fine republic. Its the extreme elements of those parties who are doing it. The Republicans have Libertarians tearing apart their party. And the Democrat's have the Progressives. But that is the problem with collectives/factions they always get corrupted.

I didn't say I was above Conservatives. And its not really whining. Its longing for days were people aren't butthurt dumbasses all the time. I don't like the way our society is "progressing" (more like regressing)

The irony was that you parroted "butthurt dumbasses" right after telling those same "butthurt dumbasses" this: "While I think you're the next best thing to me (I'm a Libertarian), you can be similar to Liberals." You whined about "constant disrespect for a president" as if that didnt happened with the last lame ass president. You have no thicker skin than the president does. And FFS it is our duty as voting citizens to be highly critical of any and all politicians, the framers were very clear about that duty. The president and his supporters trying to tell us voters to not criticize him is very unpatriotic. If you do not like CNN or whatever dont use it, that is your liberty. But then what would you whine about then?
 
For the Thread:

Congratulations to Maxine Waters, whose crazy rants have made her, together with Nancy Pelosi, the unhinged FACE of the Democrat Party. Together, they will Make America Weak Again! But have no fear, America is now stronger than ever before, and I’m not going anywhere!

Now isn't this a bit ironic?

The Repubs are getting nervous, that the Dems are acting Trump-like?

What's funny is for the GOP, this is a case of a Frankenstein monster having gotten out of its confinement. For a long time the GOP used their fringe base to help them win elections, but in 2016 the monster of their creation couldn't be confined or controlled. You have to wonder whether the animus Trump has created will be another similar scenario where people perceived to be "snowflakes" start playing the same game. Trump is a trash talker because he can do it without being harmed by the consequences, and when there is a reaction he whinges. I suspect things are going to get worse as we further divorce ourselves from political civility, and Trump is the gasoline to the already existing fire.

Hrm.

I thought you guys were the "**** your feelings" crowd. Now you're acting like a bunch of butthurt babies because people aren't nice to you after you've acted like complete assholes for two years.

There is no unsaying what Maxine Waters said or undoing of the consequences, and deriding others, including Chuck Schumer, who think advocating harassment or harassing others isn't right by calling them "butthurt babies" isn't going to gain traction.

See there you go accusing me of "whining". I mean Trump never gets any sort of positivity from the left. If he cured cancer, the left would still hate him. Thats my problem.

That is the left's liberty to do so whether you like it or not. The president and his supporters should be adult enough to not let such things bother them.

But still....why are you whining at me about how the left treats Trump? Where were you when the right was doing the same to Obama?

This new RNC Ad looks like a splash maker:

That's actually a very accurate and VERY fitting ad. There's no B.S. in this ad, as in many political ads we are used to seeing from both parties. This is a perfectly truthful and valid point. If I was more competent in patching together a bunch of separate videos and clips like this one, I could stretch this out a helluva lot longer! There is a near-endless stream of videos and articles of influential leftists, who have literally called for violence by Antifa/BAMN and other radical groups. There is an endless stream of videos of influential leftists dehumanizing ANYONE who supports Trump or republicans. I've watched countless videos of this stuff, and a lot of it was aired to millions of people!

Conservatives tend to argue ideas, although some can be rude and vile at times. But the difference here, is that these aren't just a bunch of 'Joe Nobody's' posting rude and idiotic insults on YouTube for a hundred people to gradually read. These are influential people reaching MILLIONS of Americans!

Our argument is that we think leftists are wrong. Their argument is that conservatives are EVIL. There's a BIG difference....

At my previous home maybe 8 years ago I said that while in my estimation my world view tracks more lefty than righty my experience has been that the righties have been more civil towards me, which is because they more tend to take a "You live your life and I will live mine" approach, where as the lefties tend to want to transport me to UTOPIA whether I want to go or not.

OMG, I got such a shellacking from lefties claiming that what I say could not possibly be true.

Thats because the right doesn't insult Obama all the time. Its very rare I see a conservative insult Obama like leftists insult Trump.

If Trump cured cancer, the 'journalists' at CNN & MSNBC would probably reference a statistic that shows more white people suffer from cancer in America, and they'd say that curing cancer is a racist thing, because it positively affects more whites than minorities!

As ridiculous at that sounds, it's really not, because they make equally ridiculous claims on a regular basis. You'd think that leftists would be more angry about the MSM than we are, because its their intellect that the MSM insults every day! Sure, it frustrated us, but we choose not to let them manipulate us...

A perfect example of your point is being played out right now. Conservatives know that free speech includes NOT being forced to pay many hundreds of dollars a year to an organisation that you may choose NOT to join(labor unions). Most leftists seem to think that it's perfectly fine for you and I to be FORCED by govt, to join a labor union, AND forced to give them part of your salary, AND that you should not have ANY input into who they donate $$$ to, AND not having any ability to negotiate your salary or raises for yourself, AND that you should not have choices when it comes to choosing a union, because they support the union monopolies as well! They also don't have a problem with the tax dollars that pay for union dues, being used overwhelmingly to support 1 party!

When you itemize those realities, it's amazing that was ever allowed to be standard practice. The problem is that those points are never made in the media, for everyone to ponder.

Another illustration of my point: Think on who was the most notable American to ever suggest assassinating Obama......

Then watch this commercial.

Do you really think that conservatives treated Obama as badly as Trump(and his supporters) are being treated? There's a big difference between arguing against what you see as bad policy, versus stereotyping an entire swath of America as racist, sexist Nazi-fascists, and doing it on a daily basis, all over tv and internet. We didn't organize large groups of thugs to show up at leftist protests, and have them completely shut down your right to assemble and to speak, while assaulting you and tossing M-80s into your crowds. We didn't prevent your speakers from showing up on college campuses and giving speeches. We didn't publicly label Obama a Nazi every day(or a Stalinist). Our President didn't weaponize the IRS to prevent your org's from raising money and support, while fast tracking his own org's. I could go on....

So what you are saying is that you missed both the entire 8 years that Obama was president. Or you have amnesia? FFS I cant believe that you do not remember all that crap that Republicans said about Obama....

Why yes I do. The Right called Obama every name in the book including a stalinist. Hell they went on and on about how Obama was going to leave the white house. And even now they have him running a secret shadow government. Yes you go one and on too.

But in the end its just you doing the something as the left.
