Democracy = vote of the people. More people voted for Clinton than for Trump. Calling a Republic a Democracy is wrong. People who like Trump tend to be people who do not face adversity. Just because they do not understand that black people are unfairly targeted by the police, that women are held to unfair standards that men are not, and that gays are treated as deviant monsters, does not make their problems not real. Most people who like Trump tend to only be concerned with themselves, many not even that much.
While I do not think you are right, being right and being rude are not mutually exclusive. You can be right AND rude. You are not showing me ANY respect. I am more bothered that you -think- you are rather than you actually respecting me though.
Again, you are not making any attempt to understand or educate. Reaching across the isle would be tryng to understand my point of view and understanding why I think how I do. You are not doing that.
The viewpoint that everyone who disagrees with me must be a Nazi is not my viewpoint. It is a flagrant misrepresentation of me and my views meant to defame me. The only people who have that view so far have been people who well, extremely disagree with my political views. Plenty of people disagree with me who I do not think are a Nazi, and I do not think think I think they are a Nazi. In Trump terms, it is 'fake news'.
Trump was not democratically elected, Hillary got more votes.
I have many privilages. I do not let that blind me to the suffering of others. The problem is how many people have privilage and claim that if they have it so great, how can anyone else have it bad? I am privilaged for being an American and not in China or the Middle East. I am privilaged for living in New York. I have enough troubles being trans in New York, I could not imagine how horrible it must be for LGBT people in most red states.
The way the US election process works isn't based off the sheer number of votes, if that were they case, cities like LA and NYC (your roost, which doesn't surprise me) would determine every election. We have delegates, and an electoral college, and considering Trump won despite heavy influence by the left should tell you a lot. Yet you insist the career criminally Hilary Clinton is the rightful president. And I'm not being hyperbolic when I say criminal. I, for one, think the US has no place for political dynasties, and we've had enough Clinton for a fucking lifetime.

But yea, better her than Trump, who committed the unforgiveable sin of banging a porn star. That's pretty much all rich old men do, it'd take a fool to be shocked or offended by that.
You have no sense of awareness, I could just as easily say people on the left are ignorant millennials that think they can have everything provided for them if the suck Marx's dick.
I'm going to lay down some difficult truths for you. There is no such thing as white privilege, blacks are responsible for more black death than any other race, and men are held to standards that are just as unfair as women's standards. I can't say I'm surprised you have a persecution complex though.
I've shown you more respect than you show the people who try to have a conversation with you, who write paragraph upon paragraph that you meet with a few dismissive lines. I'm not being rude by disagreeing with you, I'm not being rude by poking holes in your paper-thin logic.
I understand your position perfectly, I've seen you push your flawed ideology for a long time. I've tried to educate by pointing out the flaws in your logic, but you'd rather play the wounded party or barely respond than learn.
You can say you don't treat the opposition like Nazis until you're blue in the face, but every time I've seen you argue someone from the right, you religiously fall back on the whole Nazi clich?. Anyone disagrees with you? They must be a Nazi, or a racist, or a bigot. Putting aside the million fucking reasons they might want Trump as president that don't include being a monster.
You know how many people of privilege I know who can't fathom people might not be as well off as them? Fucking zero. Isn't it crazy how people other than you can have self-awareness? I applaud you for realizing how privileged you are, but you even seem uniquely privileged compared to most escapists. There are people who have been here 10+ years (myself included) who haven't reached the level of prolific you have. Even if it's not a good prolific.
For someone who's always shitting on the so called "privileged" you seem to be in the top 1% as far as internet trollers.
Also no. You're lucky you weren't born in the middle east, where they throw they're LGBT folk off of rooves, on a good day. Red states aren't all that bad, speaking as one who grew up in Texas. Nice try though.
