Hey asshole, maybe we’d shut up for 5 minutes if it weren’t for the frequency that Trump did or said something objectionable, immoral, false, or _dangerous_. Why are you even here? It seems to me the sole purpose is trolling, so I guess the question we should ask the mods is “why the fuck is he even still here”? Is there a seniority bonus or something? ---

Hmm… accidentally deleted some stuff. The Democrats in this thread like **Dale Sams** and **Budget Player Cadet** , and **Czarcasm** elsewhere, are demonstrating why it is they who are the threat to democracy, not the Republicans. Different people have different perspectives on different matters and come to different conclusions, and if you cannot respect that then you need to ask yourself if you truly believe in democracy or if you’re just a bigot. ---

Too bad you deleted the smart part of your message. Yes, we believe in Democracy. The Apportionment Act of 1911 put a cap on the number of representatives, thereby ensuring the Electoral college would only become more un-Democratic as the years passed. Millions more of us voted for Her. But we’re looking forward now–to Trump’s continuing embarrassment & the loathsome agenda his ascendancy has empowered in Congress. Many of us are not shutting up because we care about our country. And that “bigoted because you criticize bigotry” claim is an old one; even when new, it never worked. ---

We have to be gentle and careful with Trump supporters like **Clothahump**. They’re very delicate and sensitive about criticism of their chosen one. Even though they won the election, they are so fragile that the slightest whiff of negative sentiment can send them into shattering tantrums, which they often express by projecting their own feelings of inadequacy and confusion on the critics. It’s okay **Clothahump** , we love you and care for you. Don’t worry – criticism of Trump doesn’t mean that you’re a worthless person. It’s okay. ---

To watch the results of the election cycles of the USA from outside, the pretensions of the hard partisans of each side that some how their reactions are different from the other side is just completely amusing… it is either the sheer gross hypocrisy or maybe worse the complete self deception. but it is much more amusing to see the Yosemite Sam very clearly truly thinking of himself as the smart or even the adult when we have so many years of examples of his Yosemite Sam behavior and we know how stupid he is. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > Hmm… accidentally deleted some stuff. The Democrats in this thread like **Dale Sams** and **Budget Player Cadet** , and **Czarcasm** elsewhere, are demonstrating why it is they who are the threat to democracy, not the Republicans. Different people have different perspectives on different matters and come to different conclusions, and if you cannot respect that then you need to ask yourself if you truly believe in democracy or if you’re just a bigot. In Germany, we actually ban parties, entire political parties, from taking part in democracy. Our democracy is _stronger_, not weaker for it. Tolerance of intolerance leads to tolerance _going away_; there is no paradox in defending a tolerant society from the intolerant. Different people have different perspectives on different matters, and sometimes those perspectives are stupid, immoral, dangerous, harmful, or malicious. The perspective “I should vote for Donald Trump for president” belongs to at least two of those categories. Meanwhile, **Clothahump** is nothing more than a two-bit troll, and I still find it hard to believe that he hasn’t been banned when quite a few posters I quite liked, who very often made well-intentioned, intelligent posts (something this asshole has shown himself _completely_ incapable of), got hit with the banhammer.
