Why are you proud to have elected a “pussy-grabbing” misogynist “

Except that that was an observation Trump made and NOT an action. Bill Clinton on the other hand...well, NO SALE dbag.

I wanted to ask them: Why are you proud to have elected a “pussy-grabbing” misogynist who attacks the media and our judicial system and our intelligence agencies and who wants to take healthcare away from millions? But instead, I just went to the beach and enjoyed reading novels and swimming in the ocean.

I want to ask her: Why are you so proud of demonizing someone on the basis of lies and half-truths? Are you even aware that not a single thing you happily repeated there is even true? When you hear that liberal propaganda, does it ever occur to you to dig around a little to figure out the truth?

BTW, Ms. unthinking liberal, are you proud of having voted for the person who is responsible for giving North Korea the green light and resources to develop the nuclear weapons with which it is now threatening us? Are you proud of voting for the person who has done more to destabilize the Middle East and make it a hotbed of terrorism than almost anyone else alive (thank God she lost)?

What hate and intolerance.... They really have no clue as to how bigoted they are....

I have come across few people just like this... They truly believe they are better and more intelligent than any who don’t think like them.

The ‘lady’ is nervous about ‘dirty-looks’ in public when she’s running her mouth on political matters. Conservatives get sacked a Google or just about any university when they express unpopular ideas. Tell me: which side has more to fear?

They can't seem to process the math that someone around them could have voted for Trump.

It's called "cognitive dissonance". Their world-view rests on the datum that anyone who votes Republican is either stupid or evil. If they encounter someone whom they view as neither stupid nor evil, then that shakes up their world a little. Because if a good and intelligent person is conservative, then conservative viewpoints cannot be so easily dismissed.

For some, rather than re-examine their assumptions, they assume that their friend was secretly evil all along, and feel very upset.

They’ve learned nothing. Their arrogance is still in full force.

Same here. My wife and I live outside D.C. and since Trump announced his run we have had this experience at nearly every social gathering with neighbors, colleagues and even family and friends ... it’s like they all have Munchausen Syndrome with Tourettes ... no clue.

To me, it takes a special kind of stupid to boldly advertise your support for Trump in a resort area in a blue state.

Yet they (libs) have no problem spouting off their rhetoric around known conservatives. I guess they think that kind of stuff is reserved only for them, the special little snowflakes.

“Nobody I know voted for Trump. So how did he win?”

I have an 80 year old neighbor that I help a lot. She’s a super lib and we agreed long ago not to talk politics. Trump won and she is beside herself but hadn’t said anything to me until about a week ago. She sent me a text thinking she had finally found the reason I voted for and support Trump. My simple answer back to her was......trust me you don’t want to hear my answer. She apologized for the text and for trying to talk politics.
That’s good. We’re back on track again. Lol

Personally, I'm sick of relatives and friends who stridently bash Trump in public and just assume all around them are also Trump-haters. They have zero self-awareness. Can't imagine that half the country felt the same way about Obama but didn't march, strike, boycott and mouth off every chance we had. We got up and went to work the next day.

There's also an amazing level of hypocrisy in these people. The state unequivocally that everyone who voted for Trump is a misogynist, racist, gay-bashing troglodyte. Then they call the Trump voters "haters".

This is not going to end well. At some point one of my in-laws will not only spout their crap but try to co-opt me. Then I'll tell them exactly what I think of them, their politics, their total lack of self awareness and their hypocrisy. Should save me from having to visit them in the future. My wife can visit them alone.

So this is a group of wanna-be writers who sit around feeling superior to anyone who they think disagrees with them, calling them fat and stupid behind their backs.

Sounds like the liberals I know.

Either that or they think that you were misguided or ignorant and feel the need to educate you in their pompous, snooty manner.
