So, wait, you're terrified of these children? I'm assuming you're referring to young adults?

It's an attitude like that as to why many of them act like they do, which is also what I talked about in my first post. The fact that older generation, ie narcissistic Baby Boomers, simply try to discredit Millennials because of their age. Then many of them take to protesting as a means to complain, as they feel powerless to stop the Boomers from causing even more damage due to being vastly outnumbered by them.

Then you state that if anyone identifies themself as a liberal they are a problem? The end of the post lost me, and I can't tell if it's sarcasm or just stupidity that if someone doesn't agree with your mindset then they are a problem.

freedom is the most liberal idea on earth..these people do not believe in freedom..that is what is meant by my ending to the post..freedom is the ultimate liberal idea...

just do this..ask any "liberal" you meet what they think of the founding fathers...the founding fathers ideas were liberal...slightly left of center..so if these so called liberals think they are far right, then that means they are far left..aka communist..I am a liberal..they are not

No one overreacts like the U.S. You see it in the stock market every day, and you're seeing it with this election.

I've seen a few columnists write pieces that essentially say girls can be anything they want to be when they grow up, except president. Let's see . . . female presidential candidates are 0-for-1. Could we try to have SOME common sense instead of running to the edge of the cliff? I guess this is the new norm — throw a temper tantrum when you don't get what you want.

[daneblazer]

I don't really like the guy, but Michael Moore has been spot on this election, he's come out this week trying to make sense for the Dems and listed things they should do. For the most part, he's right again

Cracked had a good article too
http://www.cracked.com/blog/dont-panic/


i find it interesting that this is the first time in the social media era that the Dems have lost a presidential election. If you ever go to a forum of a big school after a loss it's Full. Fukkkin. Meltdown.

Youre seeing the reaction of kids who have never tasted defeat until now

[MinnesotaFats]

These are no different than the austerity protests in Europe. Government programs initially designed to aid citizens in need become implied entitlement. The next generation forgets the original intent of said program, thinks they have a birth right to it, and will not accept any legal outcome of election that could undo what they falsely assume is theirs. Protesters using the mob rule mentality, proves the point that no good deed goes unpunished. Vandalized storefronts, name call, derogatory graffitti- all aimed at the very businesses and people who pay for the programs they feel they are entitled to benefit from. More proof that if you are a direct recipient of a government subsidy you should not have a vote. Cannot allow people to vote themselves benefit from the public treasury- country will crumble from within.

[grease lightnin]

Stealthy, great post. You are my enemy, but you are a formidable one, with a sharp brain.

You are correct about why Trump won the election. He had a more populist message. If he doesn't make good on his jobs promise, then dems will be right back in there.

But I heard they quelled the protests and all is well.

If Bernie had run against Trump, I truly believe that Sanders would have won. Sanders had the same "movement" enthusiasm behind him that Trump did. The difference between the two is that the Democratic establishment was able to defuse Bernie through "super delegates" while the inept Republican establishment did not have a clue as to how to derail Trump. Obama had given a blueprint of how to win elections in the 21st century by enthusing the minorities and the youth vote. Sanders firmly had the majority of the millennials in his camp, and they would have been energized to vote in the general election. I would not be surprised if most of these "protesters" had not even voted in November with Hillary on the ticket.

Trump has an enormous job in front of him. He has to prove to these young kids that want socialism, that the "old school" way of capitalism is truly the way to go. Could that happen? Possibly. He'll need 8 years to do it. The only way Trump gets 2 terms is if he can deliver jobs to those voters in the Midwest that jumped from their traditional Democratic voting. If the bleeding can stop for those traditional factory workers in Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, Trump will own their votes again in 2020. This will give him enough time to show millennials that there is truly an alternative to financial equality in this country other than redistribution of wealth.

For you younger guys, I'll just tell you that this is so much like 1980 all over again that it is mind boggling. Trump and Reagan were both outsiders. Reagan was the out of control cowboy that would push the button on the Soviet Union, while Trump is just labelled as out of control. Reagan had to deal with both liberals and establishment Republicans to get his things done like Trump has to. The first 2 years are going to probably be rough with all of the changes, but if things follow the blueprint of the 80's, there will be a ton of optimism everywhere by 2019.

This is the Republicans last stand. If they drop the ball here, and don't convince minorities and millennials that conservatives have the better ideas, the future demographics show with an increasing minority, and "traditional" voters getting older, that there will just not be the votes for them to get back into the White House. It's going to be fun watching how all of this plays out.

[thetrinity]

this is the "educated" vote hillary won

look at the vote based on household income, trump won the wealthier demographics

she won these 22 year olds living in the parents basement (bernie voters, she told you that herself, yet they still voted for her lol) and affirmative action college students

lets be honest a college degree doesnt mean what it used to

she also won the highly educated liberal professors who live in la la land and outside of reality

[Ra77er]

It is because you have forgotten us. You have forgotten the men and women whom you sent to war for a decade. It is for forgetting everyday 20 of us commit suicide. It is for forgetting what sacrifices have been made for this land. It is for forgetting the beauty of this wonderful country. You ignore our flag being burned and rationalize it instead of denouncing it.

You pass judgement on me when you see me homeless in downtown Denver, you make audible disgust sounds when you see me vote wearing a Trump shirt, you are so busy judging your own character in comparison to Donald Trump and everyone else in this world to feel superior that you miss the wisdom right in front of your nose. If you truly care about this country and want to be a leader, you better put a flag on your porch so when I walk by hungry and cold, I know you haven't forgotten.

I don't care what Obama has done, he gets a rating of 0% for allowing that to occur (flag burning). He is allowing his supporters to spit in the face of my brothers and sisters who laid down their lives for him to hold that office.

The best part is some of those protesters are the same ones that would shame Colin Kaepernick for not standing for the flag. I don't know if its comical or sad that YOU white elites and supposed leaders in your communities do not see the bat signal for help. Corruption is running rampant and he is asking for help.

This country has been black and white for a long long time now and you aren't going to run good ole boy police corruption or train young men and women to discriminate without true patriots not hearing that call. It should be investigated to the fullest and accountability/justice should be served. I would tell him to find a true patriot in the future so as not to disrespect the flag but as is clearly obvious now, there aren't many out there in leadership positions today so what the fuk is he supposed to do?

All of these policies such as ACA and immigration etc etc that all of you much smarter than I discuss are pointless until we decide to come to the table and stand United under 1 flag again.
Enough of the bullshit, if you don't like this land then get the fuk out and never return. Give that land to someone who will appreciate it and defend it.

You will never be a leader in this country when you forget where you came from.. or if you forget those who paid for it with their lives. You can slaughter the sheep, take them for your elaborate coats of money, eat them up in your schemes, build yourselves high on their backs, but know this the shepherd WILL return and requires an accounting for all that has been sacrificed.

RIP Alvarez + Rogers warriors whom saw battle and were left behind by America. Nothing but a news clipping now and judgements on their character. Here is their true judgements, best two american men you would ever want next to you in a foxhole. Their spirit will never die. They are etched in the stars forever and always a part of me.

[Dan Kelly]

Here's the question I keep coming back to about all of these protesters = Where the phukk were they when she stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders. They should be protesting that Hillary hasn't apologized yet, because if any other Dem runs they beat Trump - the only reason Trump won is because an incompetent, shitbag of nepotism ran against him, to satisfy her own ambition and ego without concern for what is best for America. She knew how much she was hated and that what happened could happen and that if any other Dem runs they win, but that didn't matter to her. She should have never been a U.S. Senator from N.Y., she should have never been Secretary of State, and she should have never been allowed to be the parties presidential nominee. If she was honorable (which we know there's no chance of) she'd commit hari-kari. She, single-handedly, gave the government to the Republicans, and they and Trump might do a great job, these protesters are naive.

Seen this , thought I'd post it , a whole lot of truth to it
A lot of "us" added up make a big difference


"Dear Democrats and Liberals.I'm noticing that a lot of you aren't graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost. In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those of us who voted for Trump.Some of you are apparently "triggered". Because you are posting how "sick" you feel about the results.How did this happen you ask?You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech.You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms.You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs.You created "us" when you constantly referred to us as racists.You created "us" when you constantly called us xenophobic.You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.You created "us" when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.You created "us" when you attacked our flag.You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism.You created "us" when you began to immasculate men.You created "us" when you decided to make our children soft.You created "us" when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.You created "us" when you attacked our way of life.You created "us" when you decided to let our government get out of control."You" created "us" the silent majority.And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.And we did it with ballots, not bullets

[Bluehorseshoe]

Look at the election in regards to Michigan. The voters who went with Obama the last time two times either jumped sides or didn't vote at all. Why? I'm sure a major part of their vote the last two times had to do with some being African American wanting to vote for an African American candidate. The other reasons......Look at what government has done for them the last ten years. Jobs are dwindling and you have Trump promising to put tariffs on cars to bring jobs back to Michigan. You have local government in Flynt that screwed up at an unprecedented level in regards to the water supply there. People don't know what is going to happen to their kids as a result. Nothing good is going on.

Are some of these people going to look at a career politician and say "No More"?........You bet.

[daneblazer]

Thats a loaded post post stealthy, one that would take me hours to respond to in full on my phone

But I think the most basic premise is that they feel they have no control so they act out. Protests are the new thing, and when used strategically, they can be powerful, but they lose their effectiveness when you start protesting everything. Look at how watered down these protests feel.

Grinding out change is hard and most don't have the slightest clue where to begin or the avenues to navigate to create change from within. So they feel helpless, and end up throwing bricks theogh windows because ya, fukk the man, and it feels good to fukk shit up when you're angry and don't have an outlet.

My solution is better education and informing people how to get involved and making it easier to be politically active. Its not a sexy answer but coming from someone that has fought political battles, been active for the better part of nearly two decades and stood before the Oklahoma state supreme court multiple times, thats my answer.

Been saying that about protesting for a while now. People bitch about little things so much nobody pays attention to protests that should really matter. To most people, it's just more bitching

[Notorious_Donk]

What up burrito. I'm also a millennial and wondering what the fuk has happened to society.

Some professors literally cancelled classes and tests the day after the election because we should be "mourning what happened in that election". GTFO. This is not kindergarten anymore. If you are in college, you are on the brink of the real world and should be treated like it. Did I call my boss Monday morning after the Packers lost to the Colts and tell him I couldn't come in because I was mourning? Fuk no I would have been fired.

Just last night one of my friends told me a female professor made a student take off his Trump hat during class while multiple other students were wearing hats. Our society has turned into a bunch of entitled pussies who will never experience any struggle or resistance until its too late. Am I glad my parents raised me by punishment and a few boots to the azz...

Rant over. Have a good day burrito

[Sam Odom]

Truth is...

millennials , blacks and hispanics turned their backs on Hillary - just check the voter turnout #s

HRC was very disliked! M$M just would not admit it

[bigtymer56]

Help me understand other millennials. I apologize for the long post but I had to get this off my chest lest I succumb to a heart attack. I'd appreciate it stay in PT.

There is a called to protest, outright ban, the electoral college. There are demonstrations against the election of Trump as president of the USA. A call to have Jon Stewart run in 2020. A farewell and dream to Bernie losing the primary. They are so sure if Bernie went head to head with Trump he'd win easily.

They are wrong. Trump is our president. We have to accept like it or not. I do not like it, but he won, fair and square. He would've beat Bernie, The Dalhia Llama, Biden etc because the platform did not conform to the primary issue/grievance depressing a large voting bloc of the electorate. Trump would've destroyed them all because he was the only option to at least offer an alternative to calcified establishment that eroded the economic viability of a huge geographic area of the United States that dates back to the 90s. Yet all I see is millennials running to facebook calling racism, misogyny, homphiobia of this country because they don't see people struggling to survive.

I am very afraid of the youngest generation, my generation's, refusal to learn from its mistakes. Rather than autopsying this election to learn where things went wrong, they cry foul.

I am a liberal, I will learn from my party's mistakes. We will understand our fallacies and make ourselves better to the voting population that should've not, but did, go unnoticed,in the meantime, congratulation to Trump 2016

Gen X liberals went through this same stuff with Bush 16 years ago. Millennials aren't special. Just history repeating itself. The protesting will go on until at least the inauguration(that's going to be one hell of a spectacle.) Then after we've had 4 or 8 years of the Republicans (hopefully not making a complete mess of things again), we'll get the liberal replacements.

As for people crying about the racism, misogyny, homophobia of this country, you can thank Trump's hate filled campaign for that.

Very possible this one is gay also but if not he still loses man points for his actions on national television.

[goduke]

Because they're upset, they're angry and they don't know what else to do. They have no other outlets.

Steve Jobs once told the CEO of Pepsi to throw temper tantrums when she's passionate about something. He adviser her to pick up objects and throw them across the room to get peoples attention.

Two important things to note here 1.) Jobs knows what he's talking about and 2.) Thats basically what Trump did, or atleast a parrallel can be imagined.

To some extent, these millenials that are wasting their time protesting a legitimate election result are throwing the stapler across the room, they're throwing their temper tantrum. But unlike Trump, they have no end-game, they're just angry and acting out, and the stapler is a brick and the room is a car window

Stealthy, its time someone teaches these kids how to get the results they desire without having to always throw a stapler, a brick or a temper tantrum, and to save that stuff for when it really matters.

So protesting is not ok? Do you think police violence in LA in the 90s would of stopped and just fixed itself without protests? Is what they're doing a temper tantrum or an expression of their fear of what a known bully/racist/liar can do? Now before you call me "liberal" because that's the new defense to anyone that argues with someone or believes in common sense which is all I care about, the three things I said he was are proven facts not opinions.
And if people who disagree with his views don't stand up now before he is sworn in how will trump or anyone else know there's a strong opinion against some of the things he wants to do. Are they suppose to just sit back and say nothing, do nothing? By speaking out and protesting it shows that he can't just be president and steamroll his agenda, that he has to work together and incorporate everyone's views or there will be more issues. Too many people on here call people poor sports or crybabies for dissenting opinions but if people don't speak out then nothing changes. How does our society develop, get better, come together without speaking up?

HRC was very disliked! M$M just would not admit it

They were both disliked. And in my opinion both shitty candidates but the problem right now is the message that is being sent with trumps election based on how he ran his campaign. People now think it's okay to called middle school us/Mexican children "wetbacks" and tell them they can't wait to throw them over the wall, Muslim woman are afraid to wear what they want to wear because people now feel it's acceptable to do whatever they want to them because they think they don't have a right to be here, people spray painting racist words on a black persons car in a suburban neighborhood. The people that do this, think it's okay to do this or no better then hitler or the KKK and until trump stands up and can say that he's not about sone of the stuff he said or will work together many Americans are going to believe it's okay to do this

[Sam Odom]

Dislike Both Major Party Candidates:

But I think without knowing for sure and looking into numbers most announced republicans will stay within their parties lines even if they dislike the candidate while a democrat who might not like Clinton would be more apt to vote a independent party because I think and I'm openly admitting this part may be incorrect but most conservatives view independent parties as not in the same line as their views

Americans interviewed by Gallup associated Trump most with the words
"speech," "president," and "immigration."
Meanwhile, the most dominant word associated with Clinton was
"emails," "lie," and "scandal,"

Dems ran a deplorable candidate.
Both were flawed candidates but the backbone of America did what they
had to do.

[Wallco99]

We thought it was bad when Obama was President wait until you see what Trump does once he is sworn. When you got guys like Guiliani and Steve Bannon as his top advisor, sh1t is going to get ugly quick.

The end of times and revelation is near. The Anti-Christ will emerge sometime in the next decade I'm predicting. This civil unrest has been happening in Europe for awhile now, it has finally caught up to us. When a guy can say what he says and people still loves him for it, society is seriously f...k up.

You are a phucking lunatic and should be banned from all social media, or at least work at CNN.
