Hey, Uber, I don’t have the time or inclination to respond in detail to your delusional rants or even read them in detail, but I just thought I’d chime in here to say that the few pontifications of yours that I’ve skimmed are hilarious. You’re not just delusional, I think “demented” may be more appropriate. Like this one: > [@UberArchetype](#): > > Your benevolent, egalitarian attitude reeks with dishonesty and frustration. The sooner you realize “everybody else” is never going to agree with you, the sooner you can move forward into adult life where mature, rational people focus more on things other than mockery and insults. You mean mature, rational adults [like your fucking hero](http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html?_r=0)? 😃 > [@UberArchetype](#): > > To insinuate a moron can be elected President of the U.S. seems to me, a reflection on the country, as a whole. And your point? One can argue what the hell it’s a reflection of, but there’s no argument that it’s sure as hell happened. It’s not just Democrats and most of the country that’s in shock, not to mention most of the world, it’s a wide swath of Republicans. But you can hardly blame “the country” except for its complacency, since barely more than half of eligible voters actually bothered to vote, and the majority of those voted for Clinton. Denying that a moron was actually elected president because you happen to be a right-wing nutjob and think he’s on your side is a pretty lamentable form of idiocy when you take a sober look at who the next president is actually going to be. Even more so when you ask the drooling knuckle-dragging troglodytes who voted for him to explain their reasons, and get to see their version of “facts” and reality. ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > Yup. Endless criticism and complaining, blaming everything bad on the president, attempting to delegitimize the president (which is actually based on fact in this case) works. Voters reward that behavior. > > The fact that republicans are getting upset means we are doing it right. Fine by me. I like how now the GOP is calling on Obama to end the ‘unfair efforts to de-legitimize’ Trump. The same party that sat back and did nothing while their base accused Obama of being a kenyan born Muslim. > > But again, not the same thing. The conspiracies against obama were all made up. The criticisms of Trump are valid and factual (ties to russia, manchurian candidate, dangerously unqualified, etc). We have a guy who has definite ties to a hostile foreign power - Putin of Russia. He is doing all he can to give Putin everything he wants - destabilize NATO, give Putin a huge oil and gas contract with which to fund his expansionism, back away from the Paris agreement, drop the sanctions, encourage a mass exit from the EU, etc. All in return for the Russian help in spreading False News (trademanrk trump), campaign finance chicanery, piss videos maybe, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc ad nausem. Congress the FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service, the Ethics Committee, whoever is supposed to do it, should be asking long and loud, WHO DOES THIS SHIT STAIN WORK FOR? ---

It’s called politics. If Trump can do as effective a job for the right as Obama has done for the left then I will be a happy man.

> [@octopus](#): > > The professional and perpetual outraged class :dubious: So far, AFAICT, the only reference you’ve made in this context to any actual persons allegedly belonging to any such “class” are student protestors at UC Davis. Who, let us recall, were protesting an invitation to speak on their campus issued to Milo Yiannopoulos, the notorious right-wing bigot-apologist troll who published racist slurs about black actor Leslie Jones and fake homophobic tweets that he pretended came from her account. He encouraged harassment and threats directed at female game developers, wrote admiringly of neo-Nazi antisemitic and white nationalist movements, and has made no secret of the fact that he’s willing to say and do any amount of offensive bullshit for the sake of attention. > [@octopus](#): > > They use that language whenever they think they can profit from it Students protesting a speaker invitation to Milo Yiannopoulos aren’t calling him a racist sexist amoral shit because “they think they can profit from it”. They’re calling him a racist sexist amoral shit because he **is** a racist sexist amoral shit. As I said, being a racist sexist amoral shit is Yiannopoulos’s schtick. He deliberately engages in provocatively offensive nastiness so that liberals will condemn him for it, so he can then bullshit gullible conservatives into believing that those dreadful PC liberals are infringing his free-speech rights. All that your evidence-free, nonspecific wafflewash about alleged left-wing “censoriousness” and “loaded language” and “political correctness” shows is that you have fallen for the “victimization” bullshit of Yiannopoulos and his bigot-apologist troll ilk.
