> [@purplehearingaid](#): > > I agree with you ! There is no way I can get over this fuckwit and his fuckwit wife living in the White House ! I bet our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves ! It’s like being told your test results came back positive and you have cancer. And then being told to stop whining and get over it. This isn’t about getting over the fact that Trump won the election. That’s over. What we’re experiencing now is the dread that he’s going to be President for the next four years. ---

> [@Go\_Arachnid\_Laser](#): > > Why? Trump kept complaining about Obama and asking for his birth certificate right until the end of Obama’s administration, and it proved to be a successful strategy. It stands to reason that Democrats should do the same. 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). ---

I know the feeling that you’re on a great comedy roll with the quips bursting out of you like baby xenomporphs, but making a Dr. Seuss reference isn’t really a point of pride unless you at least make the minimal effort to put it in rhyme. Or at least invoke an image like a devastated wasteland, marked by the stump of the last Trumpala tree with UNLESS carved into it. ---

More specifically, it should count more if I move _away_ from the cultural and economic centers of the country, and into Buttfuck, Wyoming. Which is even more stupid. > > This _really_ isn’t a hard concept to grasp. All you have to do is look to the groups germany _doesn’t_ tolerate to see why it’s so important that we don’t tolerate them: they’re groups like the NSDAP, groups which are fundamentally opposed to Germany as a tolerant state! Groups who, if they achieve their goal, will lead to there being no other tolerated viewpoints. Groups that are intolerant. As Karl Popper put it when he first formulated the concept: > > Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. > > Hence: why it is important not to tolerate the intolerant. > > Nonsense, exactly the opposite is most commonly true. > > “Dreckswichser” might come close. What matters is the tool of labeling things “intolerant” in order to suppress debate. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > What matters is the tool of labeling things “intolerant” in order to suppress debate. It’s not really much of an intellectual exercise to recognize and point out when someone is arguing in favour of ideas that would _actually_ suppress debate, i.e. can you spot the distinction between: 1. I oppose a particular person speaking at my university and I will protest it. 2. I think the United States is a Christian country and all other religions should be suppressed or banned. In both cases, the speaker is expressing a negative opinion about someone else, but it would take a conscious act of disingenuity to pretend they are equally “intolerant” and should be met with equal reactions. ---

Yeah they are different. And both are wrong. ---

Just because nobody jumped at your lame challenge doesn’t mean nobody knew what you were talking about. Some of us just didn’t give a flying shit. Also, I’m sure many are like me, barely offering your posts attention since November, when you, like surprisingly many Dopers I used to at least consider neutrally, transformed into a profoundly epic uber-asshole. ---

What good is a right if it can’t be exercised because of mobs? Bingo.

The fans love him for being unconventional. But then they expect the Democrats to adhere to those traditions - the peaceful transition of power, respecting the office of President - and then get all upset when we don’t. Fuck that. They don’t have a leg to stand on when they are the ones who threw the rule book out the window.
