the left has gone so overboard with social justice and virtue signalling. i'm not even like this hardcore conservative/Republican but i'm always forced to defend the right because of the left's foolishness. i honestly thought Trump winning would be a wake up call to Democrats but no, they're doubling down on the bull**** that lost them the election. Hillary still thinks she lost because of misogyny, the Russians, and whatever. no. she lost because she ran an anti-bullying campaign. sorry, working class people (most of which just happen to be white) don't have time to worry about the feels of people more privileged than them. it is not the government's place to preach morals. the people determine the morals of the government. all these people want is to put food on their family's table. Trump promised them that. Hillary (and most of the mainstream media) just called them racist and a non-factor. what did you expect? Hillary thought she could win while alienating these people. it's her own fault. and the people who blindly went along with her without questioning it didn't help either. while Trump was out rallying, Hillary was sitting on her ass daydreaming about all the "charity" donations she was gonna get after winning the election. in hindsight it's not surprising at all that she lost.
when you call a huge group of voters racist, misogynist, Islamaphobic, transphobic, homophobic Nazis when they clearly aren't, and they know they aren't, they're not going to vote for you. it's a clear sign that things will just get worse for them.
Yeah, I'm not gonna defend the republicans or conservatives over everything they say or everything they do (even if I am a biased comservative), but the behavior of the left wing is atrocious. I don't care if they support legalizing abortion for all reasons. I don't care if they want to enforce communism. I don't care if they believe in more taxes. What the Democratic party is doing wrong (which includes SJWS, safe space college students, and BLM) is that they're bullying people who disagree with them. They're also bullying people for what people in past generations did wrong. This is what costed them the election. And what did they do when they lost? Hillary conceded, but these whiny people born 1990 and later rioted and protested like barbarians, vandalizing property and assaulted people. They got to realize that their poor behavior before the election is why they lost, and their behavior in the post-election protests is going to get them in a lot more trouble, which includes less democratic victories.
In fact, I was late to tell this, but there's five things they were doing wrong in the protests.
1.
They are protesting an election. It doesn't matter if your candidate wins or if their candidate wins, you need to accept the results. By protesting the election, they are being immature, disrespectful, and going against the vein of democracy.
2.
They have no reason to protest in the election if they didn't even vote. If they did, I can see why it would upset them, but most of the protestors convicted didn't vote. I know the last election was bad because both candidates suck, but why would they protest if Trump specifically won and not Hillary?
3.
They were blocking major freeways and roads. It's okay to protest along a street, but to mass crowd a street everywhere is not okay. This can block emergency vehicles from getting somewhere.
4.
They were vandalizing property and assaulting people. Peaceful protests are fine, but riots are never acceptable.
5.
They were using profanity in picket signs and using offensive gestures. Remember the Civil Rights protests? Their picket signs were appropriate and reasonable. The Trump protests were just hate-filled.
And have they learned their lesson? No, but they are showing their true colors when they riot and protest. Plus, they're bullying conservatives.
