> [@bobot](#): > > No, no. This is what politicians do in order to make their politics work. Yes, yes. Comedians are not legally responsible for the jokes that they tell. It’s part of their shtick, their act. Telling jokes is what they do for a living. Not all of their jokes are funny, of course. Not all of their jokes even come close to the truth. Listening to a comedian for political information is just as stupid as seeking a comedian’s viewpoint for political information. Why bother? It’s just an act. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > This is not remotely true, outside the ridiculously exaggerated way people like you take it upon yourselves to define hate, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, et cetera. Some people like the ones you describe exist among Trump’s supporters to be sure, but in number they’re far from a significant number. However the fact is that being labeled a hater, a xenophobe, a misogynist, a homophobe, et cetera by people like you means nothing more than not being fully on board with the liberal position on these issues. Here, let me translate for you: > > doubt, skepticism, disapproval = hate > > support for legal immigration/opposition to immigration of groups containing terrorists = xenophobia > > anything a SJW thinks a woman somewhere might not like = misogyny > > anything a SJW thinks a black person somewhere might not like = racism > > Yada, yada, yada. In your attempts to bully people into accepting liberalism, you people have so ridiculously overused and wrongfully used these words that they’ve lost all meaning to anyone but yourselves and have served only to drive half the country into your enemy’s camp - including surprisingly large percentages of the very people you’re taking it upon yourselves to joust for. Good job. How do you even leave your house with all those people that you KNOW are just SO MEAN to you? ---

> [@Sigene](#): > > Again you are making the mistake of calling them bigots by default. Most are not. Lumping them in with true bigots doesn’t make them want to vote your way. No, I’m not. I specifically avoided getting involved in saying whether Trump supporters are bigots. I was responding to someone who tried to say we need to tolerate the intolerant. And I don’t think it’s that big a leap to say that the majority of the intolerant are indeed bigots. (Yes, if you want to get technical, he said people who we think are intolerant. But I think we do a pretty good job of picking them out. There is only a minority who we mislabel.) ---

And, again, Starving Artist. You voted for one of the most hateful men who ever ran for president. And you specifically cited his hatefulness as a reason you voted for him. You lose any ability to complain about people being hateful. What little respect I had for you died when you did that. You don’t even have the courage of your convictions that we all need to be polite like you claim we were in the 1950s. ---

I voted for Trump just because I knew it would upset **BigT**. We’re going to make America Great Again. America will be so Great that BigT will finally be able to eat regular cheese. ---

You don’t even have the courage of your convictions that we all need to be polite like you claim we were in the 1950s. 1. I didn’t vote for Trump. 2. If I had voted for him I’d most certainly not have cited hatefulness as the reason. 3. Your definition of hate, as with most liberals these days, surely bears only a passing resemblance to genuine hate. 4. My disdain for current society’s crude, vulgar and ill-mannered public behavior and my appreciation for a more civil time doesn’t equate to my never being able to say anything rude, crude or vulgar among adults in a private setting, nor does it make me responsible for the behavior of others, nor a hypocrite should I choose to support them because I feel they are the best choice overall. 5. Grow up. ---
