> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > What’s great about people like you calling people like me those things is that since I have a lot of self-awareness I know they aren’t true. It doesn’t offend me because the only insult is to yourself. It reveals your lack of character and lack of awareness. It weakens the strength of everything that you ever might have to say. Not really, since everything else he’s had to say is of equal “strength”. ---

> [@Ogre](#): > > It’s ironic you say that, since this entire election was nothing more than you idiots attempting to take the entire country back to your fictional “safe space” of the 1950’s. You guys are the ones who are afraid of everything under the sun. Us liberals have been trying to pull your cowardly asses out from under your fear-choked rock for decades, but you’re just such unbelievable pussies. Indeed…A lot of Trump’s appeal is to fear. There is fear of Syrian refugees, there is fear of illegal immigrants (the Republican convention had at least part of one night catering to that fear). It’s kind of pathetic! ---

This [“Snowflake”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=816352) [Phenomenon](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=816833), to coin a phrase, reminds me of the days immediately following 9-11. No, I’m not comparing Trump’s inauguration to 9-11. Not really. But immediately afterward, every keyboard warrior with a Yahoo email signed up to yelp, “\*You libtards happy now? Screw all y’all ragheads! Yee-har!” \* After a while, once everyone realized what a shit show we were all in for, things died down. Just wait for the Trump shit-show to get into full swing. ---

I have no problem being a snowflake. We’re beautiful, we’re unique, and when we get together we can cause a lot of hell. Nothing wrong with any of that. ---

When threads like this come up, I often ask myself: suppose I’m Muslim. How will my life get better under Trump? Same for gay people, people who are covered under the ACA, many racial minorities, etc. etc. Why should any of those people cheer him on or be happy with his policies, beliefs, and political appointees? No supporter of Trump seems to address this, apart from “everyone will somehow get richer, and that’s all that matters.” It’s almost like… they don’t care about groups like those. But that’s impossible, right? ---

Same for gay people, people who are covered under the ACA, many racial minorities, etc. etc. They don’t count as people; only straight wing wing white Christian men count as people. In the ideal Trump/Republican world, anyone who isn’t a straight, right wing white Christian is dead if they are a male or unattractive female, and a slave if they are an attractive female. A sterilized female, if they aren’t white; no good Republican wants inferior races to be allowed to breed after all. The only important differences between the Nazis and the Republicans is that the Nazis had a much weaker military and lacked nuclear weapons. ---
