The horror show that was the 2016 election will be examined and reexamined for years, and depending on how bad things get, quite likely decades to come. There were, of course, a lot of factors: Cultural change, economic change, racism, liberal complacency after Barack Obama, the FBI manipulating the election, the Russian government manipulating the election, hatred of feminism and so on.

But it’s also important to notice that Donald Trump’s election is the culmination of decades of right-wing media teaching its audience that liberals are subhuman scum, and that hating liberals — whatever their stereotype of a “liberal” looks like — is far more important that minor concerns like preventing war or economic destruction.

Friday morning, the phrase “preparing for Trump” started trending on Twitter. It appears to have started with liberals tweeting out an article by Peter Dreier laying out a 10-step process to resist Trump’s attempts to turn our government into a kleptocracy at best, and a fascist state at worst. But of course the meme was soon taken over by right-wingers eager to exclaim how excited they were about the Trump presidency.

But what’s fascinating is how few of them, had anything positive to say about Trump and his coming presidency, despite their apparent love of the Great Orange Grimace. On the contrary, the contributions of Trump supporters on the thread were almost exclusively negative: They are gleefully certain that he will rain destruction on the heads of the hated liberals.

Trump’s fans on Twitter don’t seem to think that he’ll improve the economy or foreign relations or anything at all, really. In fact, they seem wholly opposed to the concept of improvement. Their worship of the man lies with their belief that he’s an agent of destruction, who will hurt people they have been trained by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to believe are evil.

Ya know...It can't be bad.  Do I want conservatives liking me?

Trump supporters show conservatism has devolved into just hating liberals  2Q==

That would be an indication that something's wrong.  Fook 'em...they are all gonna die in 10-years anyway.  Then liberal will be normal, and we will look at Trump and the Trumpsters as a passing fad.

If you kiss  their ass, they won't think any more of you.  

We've just had this conversation up above, on your 'new forum' thread.  People who want to see compromise and cooperation across the isle ought to consider that when you do that, you legitimize the adversary's strategy and normalize their tactics.  Can you imagine how such appeasers would have done with Nazi Germany?  Do you want to normalize Trump's strategy?

Frankly, I'd rather see the nation divided up, and California go it's own way.  Chrissake, it's the 5th-largest economy in the world.  Why not?

G'Day

"IT will all come good in the long run..."

No single empire has lasted more than a few hundred years..
The USA is now past it's peak.

And it's all downhill from here..
The election of the Dumpster as POTUS only goes to prove that America truly does have some kind of a death wish as far as the future of its Federation goes...


China and India, even Brazil and Mexico, are in the ascendency;  while the old Euro-centric rabble are gradually self-imploding, ably led by the likes of the Greek, Spanish and Italian economies...

And then came "Brexit", to add fuel to that fire..


Quill is right on the money :

California and Texas can both afford to go it alone, (the Texas economy is comparable to those of Oz, Spain and S. Korea..);
Even New York could stand alone as a "city state", just on the strength of NYC's financial sector.

It is only a matter of when the US breaks up into 3 or 4, even 5, smaller 'sovereign states',  not 'if'.         Trump supporters show conservatism has devolved into just hating liberals  2088947957
