Did SJWs help create Trump?

[ADigitalArtist]

I don't know, the "bumpersticker" seems rather accurate. SJW's are ripe for satirical context when they continue to be out of touch with reality.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

When people start wearing diaper pins and using tax payers money to provide play-doh and bubbles for cry-ins, seems pretty out of touch with reality.

Thus guy? This guy was just spewing hate.

What I am seeing here is the kind of double standard that SJWs are accustomed to and defend. Behaving badly is fine when it's something you believe in. When it's something you'd rather not hear it's hate spewing.
Yes, you SJWs had a lot to do with why Trump is now president of the USA.

Aren't you that guy who thinks a man who payed a prostitute should be able to rape her if she 'changes her mind'?

Anyway, if you can't see the difference between someone using their show (and not even part of it, but at the end of it where people are welcome to leave) to deliver an even handed short paragraph of respectful concern, and a guy yelling '**** you Trump won Lulul' in the middle of a show then I can't much help you.

Oh no, people with actual empathy trying to help other people. Whatever will we do?
Back a homophobic, racists misogynist administration and call it 'being in touch with reality,' I guess.

Correct.
Aren't you one of the people who convinced me that rape is not a big deal? That it might just be a hooker trying to cheat a john?

I need a break from neckbearded edge lords for a while. Thinking less basket of deplorable and more dumpster fire of human filth. See you guys later.

Going to keep this post for when I need an example of the sort of puerile bumpersticker politics Trump fans like.

Because if anyone thinks that taking their opposition and trying to discredit then with 'You're fat, smelly and ugly' is anything but sophistry then that says a lot more about then than it does their opposition.

While we're at it, let's go through the 'dear john' letter.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequence. Enforcing consequence for hateful speech is not in any way a violation of free speech. For the third time this week (maybe even this tgread) for Trump voters who don't apparently seem to know what free speech is, it is a law that prohibits government from limiting speech, not private businesses, institutions, etc. Nor does it mean speech without consequence.

As much as I think gun culture and gun dudebros are vile, I own a gun. In the thread that talked about partisan gun ownership, pretty much most of the gun owners were liberal or independent, and the liberals had no problem with guns or gun ownership. And, in fact, there has been no legislation for 'taking muh guns' and, like much of the hysterical paranoia these gun dudebros have, the push to remove guns is mostly NRA bs to frighten then into buying more.

If by attacking your Christian beliefs you mean enforcement of separation of church and state. Though I am not, a goodly chunk of liberals ARE Christian. More than half, in fact. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/files/2012/09/Dem.png

And yeah, if you approve racial profiling, a general Muslim registry, are afraid of that 'angry looking black man,' if you think a Mexican judge can't be objective, if you think that America is the only free nation and that only negatives can be gained through multiculturalism or serious looks into foreign policies, then yeah. You probably are a racist, xenophobe, or both. Doesn't take long of wading through the more of /pol/ or youtube or Twitter or Facebook to find AMPLE EXAMPLES of this behavior and worse. And if you think you don't fit the bill, explain why instead of turning into a hateful prick and blame it on 'us.'

Also for the forth or fifth time, Obamacare is virtually identical to the Republican created Romneyplan they all loved until Obama's name got attached to it by trying (and failing through obstructionism) to make a single-payer option.

Gonna pause here and maybe I'll write more when it's not on a phone.

These deep division in America, the problems we are seeing, they are deep, they are severe, they are serious, and states and societies tend to not survive them. Honestly, I'd much rather be in China when things finally do finally break down and completely fail here. If I wasn't just beginning hormone treatment, I'd be signing up to go to Japan to teach English. And hopefully return to a post-Trump America, but it won't be post-crap storm, so maybe I'll go teach in Germany.

I understand empathy, but why should tax-payers have to provide things appropriate for an infant just to make SJWs who felt entitled feel better about losing?

This is my personal observations but what I saw was an unfortunate case of people freaking out and legitimately scared for their lives because Donald Trump won. The crying and making videos about how they wanted to kill themselves should have been an alarming realization that the system failed these people. They were fed a steady diet of mainstream fear porn for the last two years; and what I saw were people crying which was equivalent to trauma-based mind control victims. I was witnessing the result of two years of corporate brainwashing on these people who got all their news from CNN, Facebook, Twitter and literally thought that the sky was going to fall on them. It was real terror that I was watching and it's really melodramatic and ridiculous, but it was an alarming situation that I believe some required serious attention. Not play-doh and crayons and putting a place of higher learning on hold.

Aside from that, throwing out the usual irrationality of insults is again one of the very reasons why Trump won.

Never heard of them. Are they some fringe thing?

Not exactly. SJWs are "social justice warriors". It's an idiomatic term, more of a characteristics than a group. An SJW is someone so steeped in the culture of victimhood and entitlement that they consider antisocial behavior, such as atomic microaggression and shouting people down, to be legitimate forms of discourse.

I don't see how any of that matters. People can have concerns about their president even if they voted for him (I know more than a few Trump voters who would have felt comfortable reading that statement).

Is that like trying to protect people who want to hump trees? People need to leave trees alone. Lol

I don't say that it matters....much.
It's just interesting that politically active people would eschew voting.

I believe this was in NYC right? NYS always goes to the democrats. Large swaths of the state don't bother voting for that reason. It doesn't mean they don't care who wins.

It's one of the reasons I've said the electoral college is a discredit to democracy. It disenfranchises tens of millions of voters in states dominated by one party or the other.

I understand the feeling of disenfranchisement.
But to expend effort in protesting, but not in voting just strikes me as ill considered.

When votes don't matter and their protest gets national attention... I would have to call that sound reasoning.

Votes register an opinion about "market share" of what they vote for, even when losing.
Defend protesting in lieu of voting if you want.
I just don't find their approach useful.

Being too disengaged to express one's outrage until doing so is convenient and ineffectual, but makes you feel really superior, is not sound reasoning.
