Once again Hillary supporters are showing their true colors of being violent and hateful towards anyone who has a different opinion than them.

At the University of Pittsburgh Hillary supporting students for the second time attacked peaceful Trump supporters. One student:

> [@](#):

> Lindsey Hern, a senior at Pitt who also supports Trump, said that students quickly surrounded the table and were attacking her for being a female Trump supporter. “It was as if, because I was a woman, I don’t have the choice to choose who I support for president and have to succumb to some mold.” Hern said, “I was horrified and scared for my safety because of my views.”

Wow, way to be misogynist assholes Hillary supporters.  
One Hillary supporter even said:

> [@](#):
>
> I don’t give a shit, can I shoot them first.

Although I think voting for Trump or Hillary is idiotic I’m kind of hoping Trump gets it just to blow these Safe Space SJWs minds and so I can watch the Youtube videos pop up of these people laying in the streets crying their faces off about how America isn’t a Safe Space anymore and how Trump is the love child of Hitler and Satan and wah wah wah. Fucking idiots.

Got anything from a more, shall we say…neutral…source? That page you linked to gave away their political slant in no uncertain terms.

The wording of this pitting makes you exactly like the people in that “article”

How about something like:

“I Pit violent and hateful Hillary supporters”

Then your not inadvertently overgeneralizing/implying that EVERY Hillary supporter is violent and hateful. While I’m sure there are some, I’m just as sure there are some that aren’t. Same with Trump supporters.

Or even better “I Pit violent and hateful people”

I would then agree with you. I’m against violent and hateful people regardless of any thing else.

Come on. Tearing down a banner and saying mean words is MUCH, MUCH worse that burning down a church. That is, if you’re a fucking Troll like our beloved **Drunky Smurf**

Keep on trying, Mr. Smurf.

I’ll go out on a limb and speculate that most or all of the Pit threads started by this OP have been ill-considered and have boomeranged on him.

Checking now…  
Huh, only one other example, but it looks like I was right. However, due to the small sample size and the fact that I participated in that thread to mock the OP, I cannot say with any statistical confidence that the OP is a dipshit.

But I strongly suspect it.

He reminds me of a kid in my Grade 3 class who used to pick his nose and eat it in front of everyone. He was desperate for attention - any kind, good or bad.

A Trump presidency is rather like succumbing to some mold. Fungal infections are no joke, friend.

Are we going to turn this into a pitting of recording media? CDS have more range, which is why they are Less warm…because you can actually hear the high end.

No, that was it. Just a fairly weak attempt to describe a “lesser” version of Vinyl Turnip, in the pretentious language of self-appointed audiophiles.

He’s beloved like **Clothachump** is beloved, which is much like that squinty-eyed street mongrel who sidles up to you and then bites you when you try to pet it.

I’m a Hillary supporter, and there’s nothing I like more than thumping the skulls of Trump supporters. Those guys are pussies. I kicked 4 of their asses yesterday just walking to and from my mailbox. My goal is to be interviewed by a newspaper so I can brag about it.
