People here who are disgusted by Trump but are still in "let's all come together now" mode, seriously, get past that. It won't help.
The way you can change peoples minds is through creating a dialog. Letting them know their "enemy" is a real person. All violence and resistance does is prove them right. Not happy with the outcome? Get yourself involved in politics. Volunteer, start a petition, or even run for a local office. Make change through peace rather than force, with that of a sound mind rather than through panic. If you consider that bending over backwards then just imagine if Trump supporters were talking about resistance and revolution if Hilary had one.
I do not like the man, I think his campaign was a farce, and a great majority of his followers are what makes me afraid to go outside. But to give in to that is to let them win. Try to understand rather than blame. You don't have to kiss anyone's ass or even make nice. Just be civil. Prove them wrong. Make them ashamed of their actions rather than validate them.
And about people coming for you? A private citizen might be able to get away with doing something like that. Worry about lone wolves. But a president is way more restricted in the way he or she can act.

Lay low but start thinking about where you will stand and how you will respond when they come for you. Yes, it may not get that bad, but it's a real possibility now. I took the "it won't happen here" line throughout the election and I think I was wrong. Done now; going back to banging out as many faps as possible before the global economy tanks and/or Rudy Giuliani's NSA scoops up this thread and orders "Regis" doxxed and interned.
Yes, I guess there is no point in having a reasonable debate with you. You are just a sad, angry little man with hysterical, paranoid thoughts.
Last chance: Everyone please... stop trolling this thread.
Fortunately, I should get my internet back today, it's been a rough week without it, I can tell you that much. I promise you, if I had a better data plan I would have spent some time getting the news but as it stands watching youtube gunge and pie videos and visiting here pretty much puts me over my limit as it is. Who wants to pay $10 for a Gig? Not me, that's for sure.
So, once again, no more jokes and trolling about Trump. Seriously. Now that the election is done, I never want to think of him, I never want to look at him and I never want to hear any more of his racist rants ever again. He had his moment of fame, he was good for a laugh but the joke is over and it's time to... as Hillary says: Move Forward!
I gotta know though, has she announced any names for her cabinet? Please say she tapped Elizabeth Warren for Secretary of State... OMG, something just dawned on me.. what if Hillary has an all woman cabinet?! WOW! WOW! WOW! Elizabeth, Michelle, Debbie, the Big D Donna B, Nancy Pelosi maybe Gloria Alred to lead the DOJ! OMG OMG OMG OMG!! Haha I know I'm probably dreaming but WOW, that is like a dream come true! Well whatever Hillary does, we all know it will be one thing and that thing is this: Not racist, Not Bigoted, Not Misogynistic and NOT Donald Drumpf, haha! Oh God I just broke my own rule, I mentioned his stupid name. Well, never again.
The future is here, gentlemen and ladies... and that future is #Her
What a time to be alive! I can not wait for 3pm to roll around when my internet is back working! First thing I will do... probably watch some WAM porn, but the second thing, no doubt... I am going to search for Hillary's acceptance speech and just bask in the moment and the glory!
I am thrilled & happy that Hillary Clinton lost. I am enraged & sickened that Trump one. I am enraged & sickened that Dr Jill Stein did not win. I am enraged Zoltan Istvan did not win. I am enraged Clifton Roberts did not win. I am enraged John McAfee did not win.
So WHERE are all the screams & cries from conservatards that "THE POLLS ARE RIGGED! The polls are rigged."??!! When THEIR man/woman loses an election, the far righties scream that "the polls are rigged". But you NEVER hear them scream that when their man/woman wins.
The vast majority of Americans are unfortunately extremist rightards: they are not vegan, they are not antinatalist animal rights activists
FYI: there is no difference between a soldier versus a "terrorist". There is no difference between a cop versus a violent protestor. There is no difference between "a terrorist act" versus an act of war.
Except that soldiers & cops have the LUXURY to live off government welfare.
The only differences that matter is being on the right side of a conflict versus the wrong one.
I really want an all-out nuclear war now between the USA & anyone else with nukes. I really want them to extreminate anyone who threw away their votes on Republicans & Democrats.

does this mean you're packing your bags?
Nope. This law applies ONLY to females.
(JUUUST poking fun. NO I do NOT think Trump will really do that.)
Something I have wondered about: I know that Saturday Night Live (SNL) mocks endlessly both Democrats & Republicans. Or, as I recall one of the cast members in some tv interview long ago, we "have fun" with the characters, NOT "make fun" of the characters. Ok. I can accept that. I get that I cannot tell, nobody can tell, what the cast & writers' & crews' personal political feelings are or for whom they would vote.
But, if, in fact SNL writers & cast & crew ACTUALLY are saddened by Trump winning, then WHY THE FUCK DID THEY PARODY HIM SO MUCH? WHY DID THEY HAVE HIM HOST A SHOW LAST YEAR?
Again, I do not know SNL cast members' REAL political feelings, since their entire livelihood is entertainment, show business, make-believe, pretending.
But, absolutely certainly, the ONLY reason 99% of voters vote for any Demo or Pub is because .. they are ALREADY famous & given even MORE fame by shows like SNL.
So I have absolutely NO sympathy whatsoever for SNL cast members & writers not liking Trump winning. THEY were a major part of the problem.
I recall Ralph Nader being on SNL many times in the 1980s & 1990s. I think he even hosted once. I remember the last time he appeared was in 2000, pre-election. In 2008, when I got a chance to ask Ralph Nader in person - what happened to that episode in 2000, where they did a funny bit with you where you imagine as a voiceover of yourself "President Nader. That's got a nice ring to it." Something like that. It made me LOL.
If SNL had taken REAL risks in writing skits mocking & parodying Gary Johnson and Jill Stein and Zoltan Istvan and Clifton Roberts and all the 3rd party candidates, I would LOVE it. All publicity - at least in the format of a comedy show - is good publicity. And I guarantee these other parties would have received MANY more votes.
The way you can change peoples minds is through creating a dialog. Letting them know their "enemy" is a real person. All violence and resistance does is prove them right.
When you make a universal absolute like this, then you cannot demand that peace activists, peace-niks "support the troops", because soldiers kill people, and then insult them when they don't.
There is no difference between a soldier or police officer versus a "terrorist" or a violent protestor, except for the fact that soldiers & police officers have the comfort & luxury of getting paid to kill/harm/imprison the people they want to.
The argument to "honor the troops even if you disagree with the cause for which they are fighting because they suffer either death or capture" applies EXACTLY to terrorists & violent protestors. Just replace the word "troops" with "violent protestors"
Too bad if you don't like me saying this, Too bad if this is too politically incorrect for you.
I cannot stop but keep reminding myself of ALL the peacenik-shaming done by supporters of G W Bush & the Iraq War in 2003, or done by war-supporters in WW1 against anyone, on either side of the battle, who disagreed with the war existing at all & who disagreed with conscription - i.e. slavery.
And let's see you keep an open dialogue with animal rights activists & antinatalists & atheists & communists & socialists, WITHOUT insulting them, such as by "equating" them, which is an arrogant way of claiming to know what their opinion is on any other subject based upon what their known positions are (i.e. animal rights activist is for animal rights, antinatalist is for laws to reduce population, atheists believe there are no gods - and so on)
I am so enraged at anti-SJWs TELLING me, DICTATING to me, my own thoughts: telling me that I must support extreme race-based sex-based identity political correctness in universities & colleges & censorship of ideas just because I am sympathetic to economic Marxism. Or even merely just because I do not vehemently hate Karl Marx. FYI: I got through the first 50 pages of "Das Capital". I hardly know anything about the guy. Great work, so incredibly dense with historical facts.)
seriously though, his opener to the show. i teared up. that man spoke with more candor and class than i have seen from either candidate and then spoke openly to the winner...and man, dave chappelle. i swear to God, ill roll in food 20 hours a day for a fucking year if I can get his campaign up and running! CHAPPELLE FOR PREZ 2020!!!
