you tell me. according to police this may be "kids doing stupid things"

I think this is a great point to note. It's easy for people from either side of the political landscape to toss in accusations of fake news when it suits their own agenda. Neither side will accept that the incidents they see in the news are fake so it's pretty much a moot point.

I repeat what I wrote earlier: Why is it relevant? There are equivalent stories worming their way into the news /social media every day.

its already relevant if it was just to equalize. libtards are the ones fencing with "post election spike in hatecrime, thus trumpnaziland"

but is it really equivalent?

set fire to church and write trump on wall = totally a hatecrime. turns out fake.

livestreaming a torture = maybe hatecrimish

ive said this before numerous times: no footage and low cost (body/material) to victim = probably fake. that does not seem to apply to the torture case.

I expect some regions of the US may boom. At the moment, my forecasts are on Texas and the upper Midwest. I'm not as optimistic about California. This is where Clinton gained +4.2 million in popular votes. I don't think they get it, and their brains are still in La La Land.

It boils down to people seeing stuff in the way they want to, or whatever reaffirms their agenda.

That applies to those you rather eloquently describe as "libtards" as well as their more conservative opponents in equal measure.

I totally disagree with this. Libtards wrestle with imaginary issues and make shit up to be shrill about, and need to get other people to agree with them. Conservatives tend to be more rooted in objective reality.

Actually I would have been disappointed if you hadn't chimed in with something fatuous at this point.

This. For me the absolute pinnacle of Trump winning was watching these left leaning halfwits falling over themselves to find out just where they went so wrong. And it seems they reached a consensus that they lost mostly because they focused on labelling people and shutting down opinions instead of actually debating the point.
Thus after the fallout alot of these same people talked about stopping the labelling and actually engaging in debate - yet their problem is once they get rid of the name calling you start to realize that alot of their arguments have no logical basis and are not grounded in reality.
2016 was great but I think 2017 is going to be even better!

I have to point out the irony of you moralising about the "name calling" and "labelling". Have you checked back through this thread and the disdain held by the most vocal Trump supporters on here for anyone who dares to question his future leadership?

Or do you not see "libtards", "left-leaning half-wits", "snowflakes" as well as the other labels casually tossed into posters' comments as derogatory terms? Not to mention the lovely flicking of the middle finger emoji...

The most dogmatic on either side consistently fail to see the common characteristics they hold when talking up their own side. Bigly.

ftfy

What, like young-earth creationism, the evils of homosexuality and transgender bathrooms?

Although I do like the way they self-identify as Libtards now.

Indeed.

Tom

as opposed to young-earth creationism, the evils of homosexuality + judaism and genderneutral bathrooms?

Huh?

What you mean even people who normally lean to the right but can't reconcile their politics with Trump? That's quite a bold claim.

Let me know if you come to DC! The 4 of us (spouses included) could have a cooking and motorbiking session around the "swamp"

But a key difference is that when I label and name call I don't assume to have some sort of moral superiority like a lot of left leaning people do.
I do it simply because i'm a bit of a ****. Also I find it hilarious.

He doesn't say 'bigly', he says 'big league'.
Example: During the election Trump utterly destroyed the PC social justice warriors and he did it big league.

'Snowflake' seems to be the one that really gets their knickers in a knot

Hilarious is probably the right word but I guess my take on it isn't quite what you had in mind.

Still, it's all shits and giggles while we're all living the life of luxury and convenience in Switzerland.

Yes, but most people use it incorrectly then "hilariously" over-use it.

Phos is the epitome of a *Snowflake, actually. It's not difficult to get him to go off on one...



*An overly sensitive person, incapable of dealing with any opinions that differ from their own.
