According to Facebook, just living my life, keeping my head down, and making sure I'm providing for me and mine is a sign of privilege.

The world has gone nuts, yall.

I don't care enough to get involved in any of this.

I'm definitely a privileged a-hole.

It's just virtue signaling by people who need external validation. Ignore it

I've been saying for a very long time

I didn't want to pick a side. I had a side picked for me.

You don't get much more integrated than the way i grew up and the circle i ran with

Oh I've heard.

I hate the "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality.

This is actually a lot harder than being a TPOS protester.


A lot of people of all colors are TRYING to do just this ... and simply be left alone.

Ironically virtue signaling is probably the ultimate sign of privilege, especially on social media. They should go to a food bank or a homeless shelter and do it. Then it becomes "helping others."

I don't give two shits at what's happened. Let the idiots kill each other. Most people there Saturday were up to no good.

Mortgages are probably another sign of privilege in these people's worlds.

People like you who are genuinely good people and who just quietly pay taxes, do the right thing, and happened to vote Trump in November without all the hoopla and #MAGA absolutely rankle the leftists more than anything else.

Some of the best FB melts I saw from black friends of friends and angry SJW's were directed at the "silent majority" - the type who wouldn't even use the phrase "silent majority" themselves because they're aware of the negative connotations.

Your silence is glorious and I love you for it, Patriot. It takes all types to successfully troll and antagonize the left.

Would I ever go to a rally in favor of a statue? No.
Would I ever go to a rally to counter protest? No.

People who do are looking for violence. The greatest definition of SJW.

While all of that was going on, I was enjoying a concert with my S/O. I couldn't have been more content.

Yep, and I believe that the 'Silent Majority' is going to become a lot larger as the Violence, hypocrisy and chaos continues.

It's so crazy that in all the reflecting and analyzing of "How She lost", I never once heard mention of last summer's left-driven race riots and BLM police shootings. Black people literally assassinated police in the head on multiple occasions and basically weren't called out for it by the MSM, the black President, or anybody in the Democratic party. Hillary literally had BLM mothers on stage with her at the DNC.

It completely elevated Trump in Missouri, Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

It's probably the #1 reason that he won and it's never mentioned, because the left just can't denigrate their true base.

Just ignore it. It's a shaming tactic used to recruit allies.

Even if they can't get you to march in the streets and post rants on social media, it's just as helpful to them if they make you too afraid to criticize them.
