Calling liberals 'snowflakes' is wrong (bitter Trump hater's letter to editor)
Bluefield Daily Telegraph ^ | 9/14/2017 | Donald Ziegler

Posted on 09/15/2017 5:05:02 AM PDT by simpson96

Before 2016, using “snowflake” as a pejorative was a non—political dig at millennials, who were perceived by many as coddled and poorly equipped to face the real-world challenges of life.

During the 2016 presidential campaign and its immediate aftermath, however, “snowflake” evolved into a much more vicious term, an insult hurled by conservatives at liberals in general.

The implication, of course, is that liberals are fragile, whining sissies, unlike the masculine right wing. Unfortunately for conservatives, the biggest snowflake of them isn’t a liberal, it’s President Snowflake himself. He is offended by anything said about him that isn’t couched in glowing terms. He has shown an inability to laugh at himself.

He can’t even handle the satire lobbed at him by late night television hosts and Saturday Night Live. “He moans about the disgusting and corrupt media.” The same conservative crowd that derided the left as snowflakes during the presidential campaign now cries and wrings its hands in concert with the snowflake currently residing in the oval office.

We don’t know whether Barack the First could handle “criticism” or not. He never got any from the Democrat media in the eight years of his rule. He certainly never was pummeled any of the vile hate speech that the Left has hurled at President Trump, to the tune of 91% of the coverage being hostile and biased.

When you’re catching flak, you’re over target! Snowflake stings because it is accurate.

“liberals are fragile, whining sissies.”

That’s not fair. Some are fragile, whining, androgynous sissies.

Okay, call him a snowflake and see if it sticks.
