The sense of disillusionment white American liberals woke up with on Nov. 9 was powerful enough to taint the entire year with a sense of doom. So many illusions were shattered by the election of Donald Trump: about the media, polling, the Democrats’ vaunted ground game, the fundamental character of our fellow citizens, the viability of the American experiment.

I don’t know if it really is or not. I do always remember that whenever the left tries to vaunt their victory on sodomite mirage, that they had to achieve that victory through a SC decision, because state after state, including California repeatedly, shot it down when the citizens voted on it. The left had to go over the heads of citizens to get it, just as with Roe v Wade.
I also remember these things every time they start yapping about Hillary winning the popular vote. The smartest woman in the world didn’t know that the EC is the deciding factor? She should, considering that she lost the same way to Obama. But the left didn’t mind the EC, then.
Now they want to do away with the EC. I know how they feel, I’d like to do away with the SC. Somehow I doubt either of us will get our desire.
Ha. They are always calling for white genocide, but they never want to lead the way.
Who let the ‘tards out?
‘tards gone wild!!!
A Wonderful Schadenboner New Year to all the Never Trumpers across America. (Never Trumpers never die, they just get smellier!)
Urban Dictionary: Schadenboner:
Schadenboner. An extreme degree of pleasure from the misfortune of Never Trump A$$holes whining, crying and moaning after Trump’s victory..
Happy New Year to all of us Le Deplorables. Enjoy the Schadenboner!
The bubble she lives in can probably stop a cruise missile. Every sentence is a cupful of liberal tears.
One of the "minor disillusionments".
White liberals should leave the country. Zimbabwe is the place for them, a country where white racism does not exist.
L.V. Anderson is a fool. I would like L.V. Anderson to NAME ONE GROUP SHE EXTENDS 'TOLERANCE, JUSTICE AND RESPECT' to THAT'S NOT A MEMBER OF HER DEMOCRAT BASE. She extends 'tolerance' to herself and her fellow travelers.
That's NOT the definition of 'tolerance'....
Listen up L.V. Anderson - I'M "TOLERANT" TOO! I'm tolerant of gun owners, evangelical Christians and Trump Supporters. And I show respect and offer dignity to those groups.
So please L.V. Anderson tell me ONE group you're 'tolerant of' that's NOT a part of your progressive group-think. Just one, sweetie. You're not tolerant L.V. Anderson - you're a closed minded bigot.
Thanks! I've found and saved the lyrics, printed out a copy for my music portfolio and plan to rehearse it then use it on the appropriate crowd- half appreciative conservatives who can have a laugh and half libs upon whom it might trigger some guilt and realization of what they really are!
To the author: Read my tag line.
Nah. Just wishful thinking.
“...those of us with REAL educations realized that progressives were a primitive childish bunch years ago”
Arrested development. Functional dysfunction. In many cases a result of narcotic abuses along with a havoc of conscience, with the cause and ultimate effect of a breakdown to the mental cognizance. It has become what I call “the gift of the 60’s” whether from direct contact or as a result of upbringing or the social mores by those in direct contact, the shattered tide and the combers thereof continue to roll in and dump the refuse onto the the shores of the present reality.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I do not remember the year 016.
However, I do recall the last 8 years, and the horrible assaults on race relations courtesy of the left. They’ve set civil rights and racial tolerance back for decades.
Sorry, you dimwits over at Slate, but America rejected your vision of race-baiting and divisiveness designed to culminate in all-out race war. Get over it.
White Liberals?
So Black liberals are stupid and can't tell how "horrific" things are after the election?
Perhaps Hispanic liberals are deficient in the same way?
Oh my goodness, that is very racist of you Mizz. L. V.
And the "undocumented immigrants who faced more deportations under President Obama than under any prior president" (who told them it was OK to vote in the Presidential election), are they not subject to the same laws as the rest of the people of the U.S.?
You seem to be stating that they can not achieve the same standards of conduct as actual American Citizens.
How does that go again, "the soft bigotry of low expectations," right?
Heavens, a racist and a bigot?
Not very shiny, Mizz. L.V.
Oh sorry, it is Mizz, right?
Because your displayed photo implies you self identify as female but you have failed to state your preference as to how to be addressed.
That could cost someone a yuge fine and due to your negligence you could be liable for the damages.
You have gone even further with "The only people who experienced disillusionment in 2016 were people who had distanced themselves from the ugliness in American society" which discriminates across all racial and gender lines.
Are we to believe that one can only achieve the proper level of disillusionment while maintaining close proximity to American society?
Or is it that distancing one's self from Canadian society or perhaps Iranian society can not afford the proper level of disillusionment?
That's pretty disrespectful of those Muslims that went to all the trouble to be fingerprinted and surveilled Mizz. L.V.
Can we say islamophobic Mizz. L.V.?
Wow, that's only about half the article and already we have racist, bigot and islamophobic.
Better get that credit card out Mizz. L.V., you can only redeem yourself by hopping on that iPad (Chinese slave labor) and getting right over to http://www.reparations.me.
It the only way to keep those pesky scales off of your eyes Mizz. L.V. and back to being "jolly passengers on a cruise ship sailing toward an era of tolerance, justice, and respect for the dignity and rights of all."

Look people have two different kinds of plumbing to urinate.
Restrooms have two different kinds of plumbing for people to urinate in, that’s why we have two kinds of restroom
I don’t give a damn how you dress I don’t care if you’re a guy in a dress I don’t care if you’re a chick in a suit
Use the restroom that corresponds to your current kind of plumbing
so if you used to have an outie turned into an innie then go into the restroom for all innies
If you used tto have and innie turned into an outie then go into the restroom that can service outies
If your plumbing is physically redone then should you use the restroom that works with that plumbing
The best part of the article.
They lie. They don’t want tolerance, they want respect and approval. I had to attend a lot of diversity training in the military an they would talk about tolerance but they actually meant respect. In one of the last classes I attended I brought this up and the instructor tried to say they were the same thing. I explained that tolerance means you don’t try to stop someone from doing something just because you disagree with it. Respect is that you actually admire or give deference to them. I then stated I don’t admire homosexual men but I do tolerate them. That went over like a ton of bricks.
