I wonder what the conservative reaction would’ve been if liberals had been all “Obama won, get over it,” after the passage of the ACA, among other times? Not that hypocrisy really bothers a lot of them. ---

The one that says wanting Trump to fail is like wanting the pilot of you plane to fail? I bet you liked that. Most of my stupider friends liked it. Let me give you a similar but more accurate analogy. A group of passengers is waiting in the boarding area for the pilots to show up. Two pilots walk up at the same time. One is a female. She says "I’ve never been a pilot before, but I’ve worked in most areas of airline management and have spent a great deal of time in the cockpit. The other pilot is a male. He says "I’ve never been a pilot before either but I’ve got a lot of strong opinions about flying. And by the way, that women over there is a crook and I guarantee I’ll be the best pilot ever. Most of the passengers pick the woman, but a small group says we have been waiting longest and we pick the loud mouthed guy. So the male pilot wins. Now, if I was a passenger, I wouldn’t get on that plane. ---

Poor guy can’t deal with the fact that people’s judgment about Trump wasn’t permanently suspended on the night of November 8, and that people keep looking at what his guy’s actually **doing** in office. Yes, **Clothy** , you are a snowflake. Thanks for coming in here and helping to make my point. ---

When a scumbag like **Clothahump** says “Get over it, she lost”, it means “stop saying bad things about my new alpha male, you big poopy heads!” It’s similar to the way supporters of the torturer Bush reacted to criticism by arguing that such criticism in a time of war is seditious; they support him but they cannot defend him so they react by trying to silence the critics. ---

Do you only want people actually involved in the Republican political sphere? Because I’ve been deeply amused the last week or two by Alt-Right MAGA gamers going ape shit over losing their safe space going pew-pew at people. Notably, [Far Cry 5](https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/24/15685670/far-cry-5-setting-art-e3-2017-ubisoft) will be set in Montana and have you fighting against a cult-militia. Here’s a [sample of the response](https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitAmericansSay/comments/6dtokw/far_cry_5_complaints/). And the other day it was announced that Wolfenstein II, an alt-history shooter where Nazis took over the world, will be set in the United States and people are… [upset](http://www.avclub.com/article/internet-nazis-are-mad-about-virtual-nazi-killing-256689) that white supremacists are being depicted in a bad light? ---

Well, you see, liberals are the violent ones, what with all their marching and yelling at professors and all that. Conservatives are peaceful; they only SAY that whites are inferior or that people need to take up arms against the government. The ones who actually DO it are crazy and not representative of the rhetoric at all. Unlike the DC shooter, who is absolutely representative of his side. Which actually is actually consistent, considering how often the right dismisses the power of words in racial relations, for example. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Yeah, so? He only said “harbinger”. And, as I’ve pointed out, Trump’s morality is basically the opposite of what Christianity teaches (even if some Christians don’t realize that). So, in a way, he is anti-Christ. So Obama could be called a harbinger. Of Trump. (I mean, the concept of _the_ Antichrist is that many Christians even go along with him. Though I still say Trump is **an** anti-Christ. ) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-omnibus-republican-snowflake-thread/788786.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-omnibus-republican-snowflake-thread/788786.md?page=3)
