I'd quote or paste pictures from there, but I literally can't because nearly all of them would run afoul of the profanity filter and other forum rules.

You should see this though. Especially those who are celebrating Trump's victory, and who complain about "Political Correctness". This is what it means when people feel free to say anything... [sad]

Well, the army of idiots was victorious because army of fools didn't vote.

Congratulations, US of A, for becoming the Fourth Reich. [down]

Where is your outrage over the riots, violence, hate speech, death threats being perpetrated currently by people upset that Trump won? They are literally burning places to the ground, looting and vandalizing all over the place because their candidate lost.

Where is your outrage when they are chanting that Trump supporters should be killed, burning American Flags (on Veterans day for      sake), destroying property and generally acting like a bunch of whining children who literally cannot handle something not going their way. I mean, don't you remember the massive riots that happened in 2008 and 2012 when Obama won? Ohh, you don't remember them? That's because they didn't happen. Their candidate lost, they expressed their disappointment and then got up the next day, went to work and continued to function like normal adult humans instead of a group of over-entitled special snowflakes who got their favorite toy taken away.

What is posted/linked in the OP is without a doubt horrible and it's sad that there are people who think it's ok but there are just as bad people on the other side of the isle as well.

You might want to step outside your bubble Lobster. Turn off the Fox news and close Breitbart pages for a while.

So you deny that it's happening? Or is that it's ok when it's directed towards a certain group of people? As we all know it's ok to be racist, spew hate speech and commit violence as long as it's directed at the right people, right? After all, it's not racist if it's against white people, right? Isn't that how it works now?

Maybe you are the one who should step outside the bubble, your hypocrisy is showing.





For the record I don't even like Trump, I just can't stand the hypocrisy and double standards. The same people who prior to the election screamed the loudest that Trump must accept the election results and not challenge it if he lost now refuse to accept the results of the election. I've seen people who prior to the election about how much they hate racists and hate speech just to turn around after the election and call for people to be killed for voting a different way than they did. It's madness.

Maybe you should get out of the iglo buddy, however we all know how peaceful you guys are... right now there was a legal election, did we see riots in 2008 or in 2012?

No, because people respected the result, however all the progressive are so butthurt it's hilarious.

There's the 'anarchists' in the mix. Idiots.

Not that many anarchists on the right. But there is the Tea Party. And I remember some colourful (pun?) Signs which were quite disgusting.

99% of current protesters and tea party protesters and Trump supporters are decent people. Don't claim the moral highground based on 1%.

This also towards Adept. The examples you posted are disgusting, but not representative.

Watching from this side of the Atlantic (UK), my reaction is one of bewildered head shaking.

These sentiments have always been there but social pressure kept a lid on the worst of them.
Now the social pressure has changed, those sentiments have got oxygen.
It's going to be a rough 4 years in the US.

People turn to extreme solutions when they are desperate, it cannot be stopped by words only actions against corruption that will make the majority of peoples lives better(not just the top 10-20%). Capitalism itself and globalization(along with automation replacing jobs at too fast a rate) needs to change or the world will be covered for better or for worse by populists like Trump, to stem the tide we need something better http://www.slate.com/blogs/business_insider/2013/07/30/henry_ford_s_150th_birthday_his_fight_for_higher_wages.html . Simplistic name calling and sweeping generalizations will not fix this complex problem. Hillary Clinton is/was a terrible person and the people who backed her have no-one to blame but themselves for the next 4 years whatever it brings.

Is it possible this whole I.S. war is the fire behind racism both outside and inside The US at the moment, it would seem to legitimise that agenda?

Voting sucks. Wether it's for president sock puppet or delayed vs transfer people lose their g minds. All of a sudden people can be divided into 2 camps and people buy into this idea because thinking hurts brain.

It turns intelligent people into howler monkeys.

Let's see some proof about the "call for people to be killed". If we could tally up the bad behavior going on in the states right now, I sincerely doubt it would be the "liberals" who would come out looking worse. You realise your posts here are classic whataboutism, right? Instead of addressing the stuff in the link, you start going on about how it's the liberals who are behaving poorly really.

And lest we forget

You may also want to check Trumps twitter history about marching on Washington because he refused to accept that Obama won.
