The 2016 Election Schadenfreude thread

This article is the most depressing analysis of the Democrats I’ve ever seen. And when I say depressing I mean, “Wildly entertaining”:

This was worthy of recording here for posterity. Fuck you, Bill Maher:

FWIW, I wasn’t a Patriots fan until it got all political.

Who would have thunk?

92% of left-wing activists live with their parents and one in three is unemployed, study of Berlin protesters finds

Actually, the genuine report noted only that 92% of those arrested for violence in demonstrations lived with their parents. In fact, all the statistics presented referred only to those arrested.
Now, if one wishes to conclude that young left-wing demonstrators tend to be violent and live with their parents, (in specific situations in Berlin), one is free to do so.
Presenting a misleading (and erroneous) headline as if it referred to all left-wing protestors as a “fact” is something I would expect from Spicer or Conway.

The Patriots are white supremacists??

No, that some (very dumb) people think they are.

ETA: “very dumb” was directed at the people raging on Twitter, not Spit

Yet all Trump supporters are routinely described as racists/homophobes/ignorant on this board but no one says a thing…
Odd, isn’t it?

Slee

Have they not seen the racial makeup of the team? My first thought would not be, “White Supremacist”.

Okay, be honest here. Who is going to the Sky Scream in a couple of weeks?

And this will be different from every other day since the election - how, exactly? :slight_smile:

Just what is it that you think you’ve won? How is the country and the world better off for it? Is it more than getting the libruls mad, or was that really the entire point, as the last couple of posts make it appear?

I hurt inside when I saw that.

Then I realized how hugely superior to white nationalist marches it would be and I remembered that at the lowest of our lows we are leagues above the highest of your highs.

And that’s schadenfreude.

Certainly more exciting and interesting. A “tacky torch” actually burns, sorta kinda. How does that compare with the flashlight on a smartphone, carried about on a selfie-stick?

The sale of tiki torches actually creates jobs at Pier One. The sanes already own their selfie sticks.

LOL! Yeah, your side has done a bang-up job embodying the “when they go low, we go high” ideal since the election. I’m sure Steve Scalise has no complaints about the lowest of your lows. </Sarcasm>

ETA: the kind of self-delusion needed to write something like “at the lowest of our lows we are leagues above the highest of your highs” is truly impressive.

You people elected Donald Trump. So maybe your low is pretty fucking low. Like, really really really really low.

Perhaps, but Exapno Mapcase wasn’t talking about our low. He was talking about our high.

Reading comprehension: it’s not for everyone, apparently.

It’s very odd.

Quite favourably. It’s hard to light a cross with a smartphone on a stick.
