re: Thoughts on this Facebook post I came across by a liberal friend?

I think he did. Would love to see a breakdown by education from high school, college, grad degrees.

The smart people may have forgotten that when you push a large group of people around, it may not matter if you are right. The human thing to do is to push back.

frick him. I'm likely smarter than he is, and I voted for Trump.

I deal with a lot of intellectual people, and they all point out the bigotry of the Trump voting base.

intellectual by who's opinion, people segregate themselves with like-minded people, just because you and your "intellectuals" believe in chemtrails does not make them to be real

Already, I think we are starting to see a name for this groundswell, some are calling it "whitelash".

Something tells me that he doesn't quite get it yet. If he did he wouldn't post the term "whitelash".

The problem with this theory that the quote is correct is that it is not. Trump voters are largely stupid and bigoted. So, they state facts.

The melt is strong....

Guess my ignorant arse with 2 degrees and a minor can't think for myself... nor can the Hundreds of college grads I know either....

That's what's wrong with your group. If people don't agree with your beliefs then we are stupid and bigoted. You won't listen to the other argument, but we have to choke down your insane rhetoric.

Funny thing is..... you're the one that ends up proving youre stupid and bigoted.

Ex: calling trump the "first perv president" when your queen was married to an adulterer who got his dicked sucked by an intern in the White House.... but I'm sure that was Monica's fault and not his.
Oh in case you forgot.... accused of raping women regularly in his younger years.

1. Part backlash.
2. Part Anti-Hillary.
3. Part Anti-Govt.
4. Part Pro-Trump.

But IMO the mixture of 1 and 4 is what really powered the train.

That's the problem right there. You stereotyped a whole group; I thought the tolerant liberals were against that. Just because the minorities, homosexuals, etc have faced this for many decades doesn't give them the right to do the same thing.

You still need to learn what bigot means.

a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions

That is what you are.

I support minority rights but just because someone doesn't agree with your viewpoint when they may provide facts doesn't grant you the right to label someone.

This is a big reason why the pollsters were wrong. People lied to them because they don't want to be branded as a Trump supporter.

The media blasts Trump about his rhetoric....but look at how they brand his supporters. Look at how Hillary brands his supporters. Xenophobic. Racist. Homophobic. Sexist. Deplorable.

It was Trump supporters who were subject to the hatred and social exclusion this election because the progressive left's tactics of intolerance. I'd also argue that this also helped draw support to Trump. People who've done nothing but happen to be born white or have a job in the coal industry saw how they are hated by the progressive left.

Wow, yoga girl.

I will freely admit that there are many people on this board that post things that make me cringe, and are spot on examples of the bigotry you want to find here. They are not the majority, or even a sizable minority.

I am thrillled with the result, even if I am not convinced Trump is the right answer to the problem. What I do know is that the naïveté and condescension you are posting is entirely indicative of the sludge this election was aimed at.

I have no idea of where you live, what you do, your education, or your life experiences. I would be willing to bet my next paycheck, though, that you're education is not better than mine, that you have never seen a fraction of the world or the country that I have, or that you actively try to understand people who have different outlooks. Before you let yourself be so dismissive of anyone who voted for a change, I suggest you make more effort to broaden your understanding and realize that life is a lot more complicated than the inbred intellectualism that was rejected last night.
