My aunt and uncle are life long dems. Only replublican they ever voted for was Ronald Reagan. I will ask why next time we talk because that honestly makes no sense. Anyway, for them to say that these organized protesting marches etc have gone too far is amazing for my conservative side of the family.

So now they say it's "embarrassing" and they hope Trump overcomes this. These are two I lost my mind debating them for voting Hillary.

I wonder how much damage these ridiculous people out there are having on future swing voters. There is nobody out there more liberal than my aunt and uncle outside of the fact my aunt does not like the past border issues, yet she voted Hillary, amazing.

I honestly believe the best thing going is the media coverage of idiots rioting and acting like fools. If you look at the map on election night, I think it told a story people have had enough of the liberal bs. Yeah, they have NY and California, big deal. Those two states are big liberal states.

But they misread the rest of the nation. They thought everyone thinks like they do. I hope the marches continue, it's waking up even more people how dumb the left has become and their zero tolerance of a different opinion.

Notice how the left screams about tolerance, that is, unless you disagree. It's been impossible for any conservative to speak on a college campus without a pie in the face, destruction of their automobile or protests. But any liberal is accepted with open arms.

I thought the liberals embraced "tolerance?" Bunch of hypocrits. Keep those protests up , you gonna lose what you had.

They're like four year old children.

They employ the same "logic" as children in that they believe that if they make enough noise, people will give them what they want just to shut them up.

In the real world, it doesn't work like that.

This is really similar to this thread.

I will say the same thing i said in the other thread:

Protesting the president just because he got elected is cry baby bullshite.

Protesting the president for questionable EOs is quite american and should be done to let the pres know people are listening.

It's not too surprising if your relatives are rational people. Protesting based on you didn't get your way is asinine and un american. Protesting on the grounds something violates the constitution is what americans should do.

Eta: these protests aren't fair to indict all left leaning people as cry babies. Let's not pretend there wasn't a section of the right that protested Obama after he was elected. Additionally using rhetoric and hate speech to denounce him. I won't link all of it unless requested by someone who has memory loss.

They are forcing moderates to the right.

Look at the breakdown numbers for Trump's supporters by class and race. It's something no news cycle will touch but he had one of the best and most diverse voting bases in a long time.

Liberals love to argue from the point of moral high ground and claim that the war between the left and the right is a war of good vs. evil

We are getting more ammo daily to show them that the reverse is actually true and we need to start arguing from this stance. Stop playing nice with these assholes. The regressive left is dangerous, plain and simple.

Of course they misread the nation. They lost the whole damn rust belt which cost them the election, and instead of talking economic policy and jobs, they're doubling down on tranny rights and calling everyone racist.

This is directly related to states rights, which California and New York destroyed by consistently voting liberal Democrat.

Things that are political in nature, such as abortion, have been foisted upon us by Democrats through incorporation of the Bill of Rights and the bludgeon of the equal protection clause and Commerce Clause (I'm looking at you, William O. Douglas).

Abortion was legal in New York before it was legal around the country. New York state also spawned no-fault divorce.

My father is a down the ballot dem voter but all his rants are conservative. He just grew up thinking Dems support the working man and never shook it.
