If you voted for Donald Trump, then the Left REALLY wants you dead!

Don’t think of PDJT as some kind of uniquely deserving hate magnet because “he’s boorish, he’s brash, he’s in your face, he’s this, he’s that, blah blah blah”.

No, you hate filled racist sexist fascist bigot Islamophobe, you’re just like him and you should die for it!!!

Arm up & govern yourself accordingly. Your right to live is far greater than the Left’s right to exterminate you in order to “build a better world”.

It is usually counterproductive to call your opponent names. To label millions of people racist or deplorable does not further an argument. Progressives have relied on name-calling. They are convinced that they morally superior and more intelligent than their opposition. Their reliance on “humor” has been overdone. Kathy Griffin and Michelle Wolf as well at the late-night comedians have gained more Trump supporters than Trump opponents. The days are over when a quote by a comedian could be attributed to a Republican candidate: Tina Fey’s “I can see Russia from my house.”

The experts and geniuses on the left have not revised their thinking after being repeatedly beaten by what they consider an idiot. They control the media, the entertainment industry, academia and the upper reaches of government. They should be invincible. They are not. If your strategy is repeatedly failing you should change it. The reluctance to change is a sign of a mental disease.

They’ll never be pulled away from their temper tantrum about losing in 2016. Trump is their catnip.

I went over to Twitter to look at this article and the reactions over there.

After years of relentless, hysterical attacks by the entire liberal universe against Donald Trump, his approval ratings have ascended to a lofty 51 percent.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is destroying the Democrats, since compared to the obnoxious buffoons of the Left who are always in our faces, Donald Trump appears more and more like a serious regular guy, more and more presidential.

Let’s hope this continues.

I found the article I read. Take it with a grain of salt.

It's Pew. You'll need a snow plow full.

My observations are Pew is part of the occupation narrative. Maddison Avenue, Opinion shaping. They do not do "scientific" studies, but produce advertising to mold public opinion. If they say it is a scientific poll, it may be scientifically based to persuade a target audience, not to report objective findings.

Saying that liberals are “ahead” of conservatives validates their “progressive” label. They are not ahead - they are dragging us back to policies that have failed for 100 years. Advocating for ideas that failed when Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot... Castro, Kim, Chavez and Mugabe tried them is not “progressive”.

Ding, ding, ding... we have a thread winnah!

Professor. It is not going to be a backlash. It is going to be a Tsunami that washes away a lot of liberals/leftists/progressives and stupids. And how it is formed will stump liberal political scientists for decades.

Just wait and see. Gonna be a Fukiyama-sized or greater tsunami/earthquake/political devastation that will rank at a 10 on the Rasmundsen scale.

yeah, i don’t believe that poll any more than the hundreds of fake polls that the leftist fake stream media said proved Hillary had a 97% chance of winning the election ... my guess is that poll is about as accurate as all of those others ...

“It is estimated, I know grain of salt, that most of the Trump voters were not so much pro-Trump as Anti-Hillary”

* * * *

Talk about weasel words. Estimated. Grain of salt. Gee, talk about pulling the wool over our eyes. Par for the course for the Failing New York Times. Hit and run by accusation — with zero evidence to back it up. Not even a fake poll.

“Don’t tell them what’s in the secret sauce.”

What difference does it make? All they hear is ‘blahblahblah deplorable saying something or other, no doubt racist.’

"Loved those liberal tears"

Indeed, hehehe.

When I need a bit of humor I check out the Youtube videos of the MSM on election Night commiserating about the voter results coming in. Old MadCow Maddow and the other blind talking heads were spitting fire and predicting imminent doom for our country. They would prefer to see pain and misery in America rather than the economy and the populous succeed, all to justify their love for Killery and hatred of conservative ideas.

It's interesting that the article came out before the election. It makes you wonder if there was some CYA going on by someone who knew Hillary was going to lose. A preemptive excuse.

In their ranks are people who sincerely consider themselves not bigoted, who might be open to reconsidering ways they have done things for years, but who are likely to be put off if they feel smeared before that conversation even takes place.

How about they aren't bloody bigots?!?

Dude, take it from a former five alarm, flaming lib: You're just as clueless as the rest of them.

Racist is pretty much the most damning label that can be slapped on anyone in America today…

Yet some people have cavalierly leveled the charge against huge numbers of Americans

It’s cyclical. Conservatives ate some humble pie in 2012.

Ridiculous, it was moderate and timid Republicans who blew it in 2012. If you don't understand that dynamic then you don't understand Trump, because the same moderate Republicans would have repeated it in 2016 and we'd be sitting here lamenting another fake demise of conservatism.

It takes a candidate who knows how to fight back and act on conservative principles in order for conservativism to succeed.

First of all we must quit calling them Liberals. What they are is Progressives and proud of it.

Now to define Progressives, they are openly working to progress the country to full on Communism.

We should call them Marxists and Communists, even socialist is too soft of a term.

Democrats openly advocate for policies that will result in the total destruction of our system.

They don’t care if only 1 person is on their side.

Give them a dictator with their “noble” ideals and they are quite happy, screw elections and opinions.

They are not to be debated with or compromised, they must be defeated then destroyed.

After the coming open hostilities are over, those who fought on their side must not be allowed the right to vote or bear children within the borders of this country ever again. If we want to ever live within a Constitutional form of government with guaranteed Rights, they must be eliminated.

Life in prison, deportation or ?some other solution?

THAT IS ALL.

To defeat our enemy, we must become like the very worst of the dictators, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin or Hitler.

I don’t advocate for it, but that is the only choices available. These people can never be compromised, or negotiated with.

I predict we will choose the slow boiling pot and extinction as a country myself, but I am given over to black moods.
