Can the intolerant left come to grips with reality?

tol·er·ance:  the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with:

So we are just a few days removed from what was, by all accounts, the most emotional and divisive Presidential campaigns in our lifetime.  There were so many things at stake. The legacy of Barack Obama, the judicial leaning of our USSC,  whether we continued to move towards the progressive globalism that the left and the liberal establishment stood for, and ultimately who (and which lesser of two evils) would sit in the White House and represent our Country.

At the end of the day, the nation was divided by less than one half of one percent, and the Presidency was decided by razor thin margins in several states, most of which broke towards Donald Trump. Trump defied the challenges, the odds, and critics to become the 45th President of the United States.




Now we are challenged as a country to come together and show tolerance for opposing views and those who hold those opposing views. So far we are not doing so well. The intolerant left is living up to their name by holding riots, inciting more violence, attacking friends on social media, and basically viewing the results of this election and those who disagreed with them and voted differently with a open and substantial degree of contempt.

The truth here ladies and gentlemen is that you would have to be awfully tone deaf to not understand why other people with other views did not vote for your candidate (no matter which candidate you voted for). Both candidates were seriously flawed and neither (in my opinion) held the corner on qualifications.  Even if you don't understand how someone could vote for "the other candidate" we should all be able to understand the flaws of our own candidate.

The most difficult thing to do in these sorts of close elections is to accept defeat. Accept that your opinions, views, and principles did not rule the day. Accept that views you may disagree with strongly now have a vehicle to move forward from a view into a policy.

In 2016, there are a lot of tenuous policies held in place because of Presidential power. Those policies are likely dead. The legacy of Obamacare will either be repealed or die a slow painful death. Much of our open border and globalism will be reversed and replaced with tougher border security and tougher trade agreements. A path to citizenship for the twelve million illegals is likely dead for the foreseeable future. Most importantly we may see a shift in the USSC towards a more constitutional viewpoint, which will force many favored liberal social policies to win their way through legislation or referendum vs the courts.

This is a tough and bitter pill to swallow for many on the left, who saw the past eight years as not only as change, but as progress. But what these same people have to understand is that what they saw as progress, others saw as a desire of a noisy minority to fundamentally change (for the worse) the make up and values of America. They saw the past eight years as bringing us:

  • Black Lives Matters, Riots, Protests
  • Trigger warnings and accusations of subconscious racism
  • An entitlement generation (millennials) 
  • Political correctness gone amok
  • Attacks on our police forces and other traditional authority
  • Attacks on traditional Christian values 
  • Cronyism and corruption at the highest levels of government
  • An increasingly polarized country and more racial division
  • Favoritism for minorities, non-Christian religions, and even non-citizens 

And I am quite sure I am missing many others. For all practical purposes Donald Trump is seen by many many Americans as the candidate most likely to put an end to the nonsense. You may not agree that these things are nonsense or that Donald Trump can or will fix them. But you have to understand that sixty million Americans do.

Tolerance is how you treat those who have views that differ from yours and may have voted differently than you. If you truly believe you are a person of tolerance, then you have to stop the name calling, the hatred, and above all else, stop advocating or defending the violence. Otherwise, you have no business seeing yourself as tolerant.

the irony to me on this topic is that a liberal will lie to convince you that republicans hate blacks, hispanics, muslims, gays, women, etc., but the reality is that liberals hate EVERYONE who does not agree with them and toe the liberal line.

KD said...

RRB do you mean that Basket of Deplorables that just handed the Republicans the landslide Presidential Victory, The wins in the US SENATE AND HOUSE AND Added 3 More Governorships.


It was suppose to go the other way, ending the Republican Party for all time.

WE THE PEOPLE, voiced our opinion , not in a thuggy manner like the liberals, but at the voting booth.

THIS Republic does stand stronger together as we just showed.

It applies both ways, alky says so, as does the spamming pedophile, and hypocrites who show cognitive dissidence and intellectual dishonesty who have the nerve to disagree with the all knowing coldheartdtruth.

KD said...

HB have you packed up and are you going to give us an exit Date so we can look forward to you and your better half leaving the USA?
Maybe you can catch a ride out of town with all those liberals that said they were leaving.

ALSO, the Trump Tax cut will be a huge success, because the liberals will continue to pay today's current rate and the Conservatives/Republicans will pay the much lower rates.

It will mean I get to keep $3,000 more a year in my pocket.

I don't need a low life Alky attempting to do her best JANE the Preacher, put on your Baby Diaper Safety Pin and leave the USA HB, like you said you would.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

People on the right were preparing armed second amendment solutions if the election had gone the wrong way.

The demonstrations are for 95% of the time are legal expressions of the lost vote where the losing candidate won approximately 1,500,000 more votes. Enough people to populate two states like Montana and Wyoming.

We have a system designed for a 19th century country, that disproportionately counts the votes by the very people who are supposed to win if they get a majority. In the last 16 years this violation, in my mind, of a vote by the people. If the electoral college votes were distributed proportionately to the sates, Wyoming with 3 electoral collage votes, California would have 199.

So yes, there is a legitimate difference because the system elected a con artist, who according to 66% of the people who think he isn't qualified. Because the electoral collage that elects a candidate who got 1.5 million fewer votes. If he situation you would be outraged and demand the system be reformed with a Constitutional amendment.

But your cognitive disobedience dies not let you see the real world.

wphamilton said...

The Clinton campaign is blaming their loss on the FBI, and that's being seriously reported, so no. The intolerant segment of progressives - read as Clinton wing - has not yet come to terms with reality.

KD, Tax cuts put money in hands of Everyone said...

Two things Obama Promised, Lower income rates for all middle and lower income workers , he never dropped them a bit.

#2 he promised ObimboCare would save my family $2,500 a year in policy costs, that never came into being either.

He promised to Be the President of ALL Americans, he failed on that one in spades.

The list of promises broken is endless, so let me put it like this, his terror on the USA ends in a few days, he will do some more real damage before then, but, I think TWO TERMS ONE with Trump and the other with Pence will get this Nation STORNGER TOGETHER again.


Wait for those first checks that go into the hands of blacks, Hispanics, LTBGT and others and see if that is not something they really like do to TRUMP.

KD, US Constitution vs HB, HB losses everytime said...

But your cognitive disobedience dies not let you see the real world." HB

what "dies"


I love how HB has gone from batshit crazy before the election to a Diaper PIN Wearing nut.

I love it, it is pure humor at this point to read what HalfJane believe is deep well thought out posts.


KD, $162000, net of HB's life work said...

HB people like you , you know idiots are now calling on those that have the power to cast the electoral votes in those States Trump won to simply cast those electoral votes for Hillary Clinton, changing who won is just that easy.



Remember THE LEFT DEMANDED TRUMP EXCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION

KD, HB your flight out of the USA Is ready said...

With Every Thing the HalfJane posts, I fact check it, he again is dead wrong.

THE WINNER TRUMP TOTAL= 60,265,858
the loser vote total = 60,839,922

Not that it matters, because the History is what it is , she lost the Electorial Vote, THE WINNER HAS 306
the loser has only a sickly 228

KD said...

"If he situation you would be outraged " LOL @ HB, better get some smelling salts, he is near passing out, breathless.

C.H. Truth said...

Roger,

Which Candidate got 1.5 million vote less?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

My count was based on earlier returns.

She had 59,755,284 votes, according to CNN's tally, with 92% of the expected vote counted. Trump had 59,535,522. That difference of 219,762 is razor-thin considering the nearly 120 million votes counted so far. The totals will continue to change as absentee votes trickle in.

219,762 about 1/4 million. What's the fucking difference? Our electoral college has elected TWO Presidents on the last 16 years. The Republican candidate won both. If the situation was reversed, I'm convinced that we would be treated to 1,500 words explaining how unfair and out of date the system is.

And that my friend, is the ColdHeartedTruth, So help me God.

C.H. Truth said...

Roger

Nobody is really seeing the results of this election as anything other than Trump winning and Clinton losing. His advantage in the EC is much larger than her marginal popular vote margin, which was run up in California and New York. There isn't going to be a change in the Electoral College any time soon, nor should there be.

California and New York already believes the world revolves around them, and the rest of America is "flyover country". We don't need elections to reinforce this. The EC forces candidates to appeal to everyone across the Country, and it makes places like Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, and Michigan matter.

If the "rust" belt turns back into battleground states, then your side will be in trouble for the foreseeable future. The blue wall crumbled. Now Democrats will need to figure out how to appeal to people that don't live on the coast or in population centers.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Looking toward the future---

Even Trump’s Inner Circle Not Sure How He’ll Govern

Gabriel Sherman: “If you’re one of the millions of Americans wrestling with the question of how Donald Trump will govern as president, consider this: His inner circle doesn’t know either.”

“Since Tuesday’s stunning election result, I’ve spoken with Trump advisers and GOP officials in Washington about the state of Trump’s transition planning to get a sense of what kind of place the Trump White House will be. What they describe is a candidate who is still something of a mystery, even to them.“

Said one: “It is basically a blank slate that needs to be filled in.”

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

I know it won't change. But I am not backing off. I strongly believe that the majority should rule in the only nation wide vote in this country. Every other democracy, republics, even parliamentary governments have majority rule.

Yes, I know the intricacies in parliamentary systems, they have to arrange a majority of those who voted to choose the prime minister.

I grew up in a "fly over' state. Square mils drawn on a map, should not elect the President.

And yes, if it were reversed, we would be treated to 1,500 words to explain why the system is wrong.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

One more point my friend, the con man that you think is fit to be President, is going to bring in the establishment he derided, not prosecute Clinton, not overturn ObamaCare, or any of the other things.

What he will do, is get the legislative branch to pass tax cuts to the top 1%, further increasing the wealth differential, run up massive deficits just like Bush and bring on another Great Recession or worse.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

And you will blame he recession on he Democrats, even though they aren't in power.

Indy Voter said...

Of course, it is NOT reversed.

Myballs said...

Chicago cubs won four games thus won tge world series. But maybe Democrats would like to award the series to Cleveland because they scored more runs.

wphamilton said...

I'd be fine with eliminating the EC, as long as the States are apportioned votes reasonably as they are now. There is no reason to have people casting votes in a big meeting - just add them up, post them on a big board Hurray!

But you're not going to change it without a constitutional amendment, and the States you're planning to screw over will never go for it.

Roger at least keep in mind the turnout would be up significantly everywhere if it was a popular vote election. Non swing state turnout was 10-18% lower than swing states. Hillary over performed the polls on non swing states that are deep blue, likely because Republicans didn't bother to vote.

C.H. Truth said...

Rush was right on this point.

The current Democrat campaign against the electoral college is an attempt to delegitimize Trump's election.

They know they have no chance to change the EC. It all about delegitimizing Trump.

That is a dangerous tactic for the Republic.

Hillary Calls For End To Electoral College"

Now why would the Hillerbeast call for the edge , oh yeah The Democrap party candidate lost.


She was in the US Senate for a time, why did she do nothing then to get the US Constitution Changed?


"We are a very different country than we were 200 years ago," Clinton said. "I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it's time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president."

The first lady also said that because of the closeness of this year's presidential election, "I hope no one is ever in doubt again about whether their vote counts." Madam BleachBitch

KD, President Trump said...

Loretta Russo said...

LOL, nice!

wphamilton said...

Keep in mind that nobody got a majority of the popular vote, which without the EC would have thrown this decision to the House. I'd have been happy about that in this particular case, but it certainly wouldn't have helped Clinton any. Is that really what the left wing wants, the Presidential elections decided by the House of Representatives?

Commonsense said...

Like the 'birther' tactics used to delegitimize Obama?

Exactly, this time however they will have the support of the MSM where the "birthers" did not.

Commonsense said...

I will add however, that the "birther" movement never questioned the legitimacy of the election process.

Eric Holder did.

KD said...

NO, they want those of Each State that are the Electoral College voters to switch their vote and the Election to Hillary.


In their minds (not in the US Constitution) that would be the thingy to do as it would then give Hillary the win.


Trump was the bold Historic Vote to cast, HE won over HER.

She spent a billion dollars, had the so called ground game, she had the lame stream media ,,,,, she had the BIG DOG, THE ONE, THE FIRST LADY, THE VP, THE FAKE INDIAN and more, and still lost.

I love making HB look as stupid here as he is in real life.



The question I would put to the Radical Democrat Party is this, we know that many on the left had their "Thumb on the Scale" for the Loser Hillary, the question is, who will be putting their "Thumb" on the scale in the next election for the Dems?

Commonsense said...

Back to the subject at hand. I find it supremely ironic that the violence the Democrats warned about if Trump loses the now being committed by Clinton voters themselves.

Talk about projection.

But then again, Democrats have a history of temper tantrums when they lose, See 1980, 1984, 1988,2000, 2004, 2016.

wphamilton said...

Here is the reality that they're still not facing, and never will as long as the Clinton's are allowed influence. The CNN exit polls show clearly what the difference was, and it doesn't fit with the Clinton narrative of a right wing/FBI conspiracy.

Two results cut across all the nonsense: age demographics and education. People 45 or older supported Trump at 53%, while people younger than 45 went for Clinton, with the 18-29 crowd supporting her at 55%. I'm going to say, if you are old enough to have been self-aware through the Clinton administration, you were less likely to want a repeat.

About that ignorant uneducated White vote: college graduates were dead even with non-graduates at 52%. All races accounted for, all parts of the country, all political persuasions, 52% That's the reality folks. Not ignorance, not bigotry, but who the candidates were and first hand knowledge.

caliphate4vr said...

Roger you lost Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Shut up

wphamilton said...

About the dead even 52%, in case that seems confusing.

52% of of graduates voted for Clinton and 5% other. It's not "dead even" but it's not overwhelming.

so riddle me this, batman -

since at least bush v. gore the left has been whining about how certain voters have been disenfranchised. via mythical intimidation, voter ID laws, and the like. so now you are actually calling for the disenfranchisement of a very large swath of our electorate.

so voter disenfranchisement is bad, right up until you didn't get your way, and now it's good and is something we need to do.

square that circle for me please.

wphamilton said...

The DNC has made a huge mistake. I know that's obvious by now, but I just like repeating it once or twice, since no one really believed me. The collapse of Hillary was stunning in scope and speed, as I said it would be.

Their arrogant assumption of power failed, "gifting" us with President Trump. And now power structure of the party itself is collapsing under the weight of it's own failure and corruption. Warren and Sanders are taking up the reins within the party, promising a measure of cooperation but a strong opposition if Trump takes things too far. That is exactly the right tone, and a glaring contrast with the existential struggle we're seeing from the Clinton wing.

Meanwhile, the progressives want to initiate a wholesale purge of the "corporate dominated" aka Clinton wing. Reality has a way of imposing itself, whether or not defeated politicians can come to grips with it.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Clinton not only won the popular vote in Tuesday’s election. It is now clear that she won it by a margin larger than two candidates who went on to win the presidency.

David Leonhardt, a columnist for The New York Times, noted on Friday that with a 1.7-percentage-point popular vote lead over Donald Trump,Clinton will have a larger margin of victory than Richard Nixon had over Hubert Humphrey in 1968 or John F. Kennedy had over Nixon in 1960. (Her edge is also larger than Al Gore’s popular vote victory over George W. Bush in 2000, though he too was stymied by an electoral college loss.)

In raw numbers, that amounts to an edge of roughly 1.8 million votes as of Saturday.


I can see a movement to repeal the electoral college coming out of this.

1,800,000 Americans had no influence on the election.

That ain't right.

Well David Leonhardt should check his own paper to fact check his numbers:

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president

It shows the results as Hillary 47.8% (60.967 million) and Trump 47.3% (60.328 million)

fairly close to everywhere else.


You have some remedial math skills? Can you tell us how that adds up to 1.7% or 1.8 million voters?

wphamilton said...

CHT, I think Huffington Post or one of those "in the tank" types had earlier "estimated" Hillary's votes, messed up the math, and had to retract. That's probably where this is coming from.

Neither candidate getting 50% of the vote is more significant than how much less than a majority both of them had.

Indy Voter said...

WP, I think not knowing what Trump will do is what is causing those leaders distress. Trump may have backed away from pulling out of South Korea on Thursday, but he's still talking about abandoning NATO allies, especially those that were formerly under Soviet control. How will he address Chinese encroachment on U.S. allies? Will he try to terminate trade deals, and even start protectionist fights against trading partners?

KD said...

HB, your math as always is off. But say she gets the 2 million more votes, what does she win?

Indy Voter said...

To be fair to Democrats who want the Electoral College eliminated, every time the popular vote winner has failed to win the presidency, that person was a Democrat. Jackson and Cleveland came back four years later and won the presidency. Tilden and Gore never ran again, and I suspect the same will be true for Clinton.

Commonsense said...

Lincoln was a minority president. The Democrats won the election of 1860.

Trouble was, the Democrats couldn't decide which president they want; Stephen A. Douglas or John C. Calhoun.

Roger would have screamed that Lincoln was illegitimate because he didn't win the popular vote.

If it wasn't for the fact that ant-Trump "protesters" were breaking things and hurting people, I'd say keep screaming their fool heads off.

They are convincing those reluctant Trump voters they made the right decision and they are making some Clinton voters regret their vote.

It's obvious these fools are not fit to run the government and that eight years of them are enough.

Seriously, Trump's favored negotiating tactic is to start off with an unreasonable position. If these EU leaders aren't on the ball enough to figure that out, then they have reason to be worried because Trump will have them for lunch.

No, he's not going to abandon NATO allies nor start trade wars unless we're getting seriously skewered. Chinese encroachment - I guess you're talking about the South Sea - I don't know but I suspect he'll be looking for economic leverage.

COMEDY


Wanda Sykes Flips Off Crowd For Booing Her Anti-Trump Material

The performer was booed for calling the president-elect racist, sexist and homophobic.

Senior Editor, The Huffington Post







Stand-up comedian Wanda Sykes flipped off the audience at Boston’s TD Garden on Saturday night after the crowd booed her for railing against president-elect Donald Trump.

Sykes was one of the performers at the 22nd annual Comics Come Home fundraiser, on behalf of The Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care. During the act, she joked that Trump’s election was not the first time the U.S. had chosen a “racist, sexist homophobic president.”

“He’s just the first confirmed one, that’s it,” Sykes said.

Members of the audience started booing loudly, to which Sykes promptly replied, “Fuck you, motherfucker, fuck all of y’all.”

She then pointed to various areas of the crowd and said, “Fuck you, you, you"

yep the grip is loose at best on Reality.
