Sure, as long as Trump addresses it any time any of his fans says or does anything awful. ---

Not very Presidential, and yet here we are. He won, but he had no right to win—he has no wisdom, no experience, no common sense even. Narcissism might masquerade as Charisma in the short term, but over the long haul, this guy is too reactionary to make rational decisions, and the people he chose as “advisors” are no better. If a criticism from a citizen can set him off, imagine what a criticism from a world power could do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---

As a matter of fact, [Obama did address it, yesterday.](http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/obama-to-trump-protesters-231558) "I’ve been the subject of protests during the course of my eight years,” Obama said at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday. “And I suspect that there’s not a president in our history that hasn’t been subject to these protests. So, I would not advise people who feel strongly or who are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the campaign, I wouldn’t advise them to be silent.” Sounds reasonable. ---

Are any of you righties listening to your own media, either on the radio or televised? There is no celebration going on, no discussion of what the new appointees will supposedly accomplish, and absolutely NO talk of getting along with those on the other side or compromising in any way. The only thing I hear is attack after attack after whining attack on opponents y’all have already defeated. I just listened to a two hour blistering “analysis” of Clinton’s recent after-loss speech, and it was taken apart piece-by-piece as if it were given the night before election and Trump’s campaign still depended on her being destroyed. Are you guys even capable of shutting down the war machine…or is this bluster to cover up the fact that you actually have nothing positive to give the public? ---

No, they are not. They were always united not over policy, but hatred. I’ve posted this before but deserves a repost, because Kreia was right, to be united in hatred is a fragile alliance at best: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/dzBgnzwBv7I/hqdefault.jpg "Knights of the Old Republic II: Fall of Kreia") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzBgnzwBv7I) ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > The really bad part(for others) about being united in hatred is that the hatred will die down…unless it is increased and/or expanded. You have proven yourself wholly incapable of introspection, time and time again, so this won’t do any good. But the truth is, you hate ordinary, conservative Christians in Middle America FAR more than they hate you. I’m not sure whether you’ll deny that or insist “Those bastards DESERVE to be hated.” But there’s absolutely no chance you’ll try to think outside your box. You just aren’t capable. One bright alt-right blogger suggested aptly that the Democrats consist of several fringe groups with little or nothing in common (yes, the GOP has the same problem). Up til now, hatred of white Christian Middle America has been (in his words) “the KKKrazy Glue” that holds together all these groups. ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > Sorry, are you asking why Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama aren’t asking people to forego their first amendment rights of free speech and free assembly? Of course. Trump has come out for “Law & Order.” _Laws_ are made, enforced & sometimes changed by _our_ government; the process is not always perfect, but they are _our_ laws. _Order_ is the need for us to behave in an orderly fashion & not annoy those in power. Or preparing to take power. Above & beyond The Law. ---
