I just rolled my eyes. Another recent example is the cancellation of a speech at Berkeley by Richard Dawkins because he "said hurtful things about Muslims". As I said in a thread on the subject, that is the shite that gives rise to Donald Trump being president.

Yes, and while electing Trump may or may not have been a ridiculous thing to do, it's not really indicative of any problem or irrational mindset, IMO.

But, I can already anticipate some liberal saying "It's indicative of the disrespect our male society has for women and people of color!" which just shows how easy it is to predict the unhinged reactions of the left.

This is where we part ways. What I'm about to say is not an indictment on conservatives or Republicans, but on society as a whole.

The fact that out of 326 million people we elected a guy with the demeanor, temperament, and ego of Donald Trump is one of the most disgusting failures I've ever seen in our society. Further, that out of 326 million people we had a choice between fricking Donald Trump and HRC.....it makes me have really bad thoughts about the future of humanity.

Given this, the election of Donald Trump doesn't just show an irrational frame of mind, but a sickness in the soul of the country. All those great men and women that were passed up for two pieces of dogshit.

ETA: The only rational justification for the election of DJT is burning the system down scorched earth style. A sentiment I can appreciate.
