And I got the feeling that, once the next "Change!"-politician comes, it'll happen yet again. It's sad, but I find it to be an inevitability.
Only thing that can help matters is knowing that these folks are only the most ardent followers of the party and, in turn, do not represent the majority that does not engage in said actions.
Not a big fan of reading posts, are we? Let me try to make it a bit clearer to you then.
As the American "left" is about a mile to my right, I don't have a horse in this race. However, when someone exposes their own hypocrisy in such a major way as the alt-right trump fans have done on this issue, it is funny. THAT is the joke, and it doesn't make any difference whether it is the "alt-right" or the "liberal left" doing so.
Was close to just not responding because I had nothing to add. Yes, totally agree with everything you said here.

What I'm getting at is that both sides have done an perfect role-swap on this. Both sides doing exactly what they condemned, both sides reeking of hypocrisy. Yet your focus is on the failings of one specific side in this. That seems a lot like bias to me.
Why the underline for the president of the US then? Is pussy an exception and it's the one thing that is beyond reproach about humanity? Besides, he said they let him do that. Consensual activity, the horror. The more questionable thing about that tape was him talking about how he doesn't wait and just kisses women, but everyone jumped on pussygrabbing bandwagon because it made for better clickbait.
Plausible or not, if your complaint is that the president of the US has been caught on tape saying things unbecoming of the position, at least complain about what was actually said. And damn, women (or humans in general) being sexually open towards rich, famous and powerful people? Never happened.
Maybe they're Apple hipsters? God, an alt-right hipster. I think I just redefined cancer.
A bit ironic that it's now the right that are going to forums crying about mean liberals. Wasn't it exactly this behavior that the conservatives called "SJW"? Grow up you PC cucks.
Barron Trump kind of reminds me of that creepy Damien kid from
the Movie : The OMEN

Which is what I pointed out, the complete role-reversal is hillarious.
Well GEE...could that be because this thread specifically (and perfectly) showcases the hypocrisy of one side? Why yes, THAT might be the reason! You'd perhaps like me to derail the topic by digging up examples of the hypocrisy of the American "liberal left"? No? Then I really don't know what the heck you're complaining about.
You are trying awfully hard to paint me as biased in this (which I'll gladly admit that I might have been if I were not entirely disgusted with both sides of the US political spectrum), I wonder if that could be a sign of your own bias?
Basically this thread has shown once again the vile from the political agenda from certain groups. It's okay to beat up disabled people because mad that Clinton lost. It's okay to mock and ridicule children because mad that Clinton lost. It's okay to destroy property because Clinton lost. All in the name of fabricated justice to protect something that hasn't been taken away, except your pride apparently. Prideful people never win. History proves this.
I like the ones of him looking bored, they're funny, and in good taste. This is pretty disgusting though.
Again, ironic. I'm simply doing the same thing as conservatives. And yes they do label everyone and everything. It's either SJW, cuck, beta-male or "libtard". The same thing liberals complain about then? The alt-right (conservatives) not showing respect to individuals? Look in the fucking mirror, jesus christ.
Since I'm not sure if you're using GOP in a broad sense or not here, I'll just mention for clarity's sake (even if it clarifies things for other users and not you in particular), the GOP Tennessee account from the OP is not an official GOP account. So this account getting triggered isn't GOP turning around (in context of GOP staffers from your previous sentence), it's just random republicans whose stance on attacks against Obama's children is unknown. Then again I didn't follow this story further than the OP and I wouldn't be particularly surprised if Trump already had 20 Twitter meltdowns about it, his GOP asslicking politicians following suit. And in terms of the overall message, I can't disagree.
Hmmm, nope. Not going to generalize every Democratic voter or 'liberal' from examples such as these. As little as I let shooters who happen to be registered Democrat, or have an arabic-sounding name, direct my anger following a mass shootings. At the same time, I don't let people such as that class-A idiot who was all smug about Obamacare being repealed, while on it himself, represent the GOP voters who "vote against their self-interest", or let people like Ann Coulter represent GOP-voting women.
You see, fighting against being generalized, by making sweeping generalizations out of a few rotten examples, usually doesn't help. But hey, I'm guilty of some levels of generalizations myself. For example I think it's extremely easy to spot vocal online Trump supporters looking for a few common traits in their rhetoric. You can pretty much tell just by a couple of sentences. Very common ways to argue, extreme hyperbole. Gleefulness. Adopts "their sides" common arguments and seem to think it makes themselves seem more informed. Trump calls CNN Fake News, thus I shall call "MSM" news Fake News. And of course, using rhetoric that makes them explode when it's directed back at them.
A good example. Hyperbole. Sweeping generalizations of non-Trump voters this election. Someone who probably likes to write out "Trump won, deal with it." and "Liberal tears."That's how the Liberals roll. "Do as I say- not as I do". They have never been about "equality" of any kind. They just like to stir up hate and discontent. This should not surprise ANYBODY at this point since it has become the norm over the last 8 years from them. They really are sick and demented individuals.
*checks Post history*
Andwhaddayakno?Woah!!! Hold on a sec!!!! FACTS?!?!?!?! Liberals (The OP) doesn't like facts.....they just like leftist propaganda and lies. Now Hillary and her stooges can play the "victim card" because blaming others for your own actions or inactions has become a staple of the left and its vote base.
I can't wait to see what bullshit they come up with in 2020. lol
[...]
That moron easily destroyed the Democrat party. Remember that.

CNN is fake news. I knew that before Trump said it. "Hands up don't shoot" was a lie yet still was reported as truth. That's fake news that took race relations back. The left media needs to own up to that disgusting behavior of race driven politics as well as the Democratic party as a whole.
This pesky thing called evolution gave humans a sometimes quite annoying trait, and that is to be very mindful of patterns and recurrences. So I do generalize Trump supporters to some extent. It's so goddamn easy to tell online who voted for Trump and who didn't. Generally hyperbolic, reminds me a lot of usual internet trolls, bending facts, cherrypicking. Whataboutism taken to cult-like levels. Deflection and cognitive dissonance to the extreme.
"Quote anything Trump said that was racist."
Quote: 'They're bringing drugs,' crime and are 'rapists'
LUL fake news from Clinton News Network
*video footage* / specify when and where he said it
WELL HE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT GENES WAS HE??? THATS ACTUAL RACISM! HE MEANT MEXICAN ILLEGALS SORRY NOT SORRY
It's like going to some shit related to Stormfront and hearing nazi-apologism. People see through you with ease. You don't need to explicitly say something for people to understand your true opinion. But Trump knows how to play the game. He is so vague his loyalists can interpret pretty much everything however they wish. Sure, he said that 'climate change is a chinese hoax', but clearly that doesn't mean he thinks it's not happening, but the Chinese are out-performing us due to shit like Paris deals!
Flip-flopping worse than Magikarps.

But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.
