Can’t you always paint the minority party as butthurt obstructionists? You can’t honestly say that the Republicans were graceful losers during the Obama years, can you?
can you say they:
1) stopped people from talking in open forums
2) were willing to ruin lives to get their way
3) held daily scream at the sky parties
not really out to defend one side over the other, but the right didn't carry on nearly to what we're seeing done by the left today.
Different tactics same mission
The butt hurt on the left is 100 times worse than the right. From the day after the election, they rioted in several cities, the left went to recounts in three states, implied that there was voter fraud then they wanted the Electoral College to change their votes from Trump to Hillary and ignore the voters will, then they demanded that all the Electoral College meet and debate and try to change votes. Then came using the courts to get injunctions to try to stop Trump from being sworn in, then more riots and then to wanting to impeach Trump. The last month has been crazy, allegations with absolutely no proof, claiming Kavanagh would overturn Roe v. Wade, he is a rapist, a drunk again with nothing. Everyday the nuts get nuttier.
The Left represents change and minority/oppressed groups. People are typically more passionate and energized when fighting for change, especially when they are fighting for their rights
while i don't disagree, there's a manner in which they can express it that doesn't take away from the rights of others. i'm NOT going to excuse their actions as "simple growing pains" of intelligent people. we've been placating it which leads to crap like:
now directing traffic and getting violent to anyone who doesn't follow their self-imposed direction
and it's not just fighting for change, slade. it's pure hate.
When It Comes To Hate, The Left Beats The Right, Hands Down
Explaining the Narcissistic Rage of the Left
in the UK even:
Alt-hate: Who knew the left had so much venom? | The Spectator
a conservative site sure but the point is being echoed everywhere:
The Left-Wing Rage Machine
John Kass: The dehumanizing rage of the American left – Twin Cities
and in the end - their rage is creating their own "increased rage"
How the Left Created Trump
this is not just someone on a board exaggerating, slade. not at all. now yes i can go find commentary from the right also but i don't see the right out in the streets beating the shit out of people who don't follow their orders. i'm also leaving out TONS of anti-fa rallies where they flat out say they're "going for scalps" to stop conservatives from even being allowed to talk.
i don't give a rats ass that they THINK they're fighting for their rights. they're taking away EVERYONE ELSES in the process and that is simply unacceptable. the left and the "rage machine" have the same rights we all share. the ONLY reason we have those rights is because collectively we defend them to our own death if necessary.
for ALL of us.
if you can show me examples of above from the right, i'll be happy to split the blame. but i can't find 'em. to find the above i simply used startpage (not into google anymore) and searched for "examples of rage from the left" and found all that on P1. i took out left and put in right and i get a lot of dictionary definitions of rage.
to me you're simply excusing the very actions we need to condemn from EITHER side, but i just don't see a lot from the right in doing so. when i see them in here i'm happy to call them on it and get called names of my own for doing so but never threatened. so if you're going to say these are just passionate people fighting for rights they don't have today - then yes. i 200% disagree with you. if someone is very *different* then others are going to feel differently about that. that is their right as well.
you can't protect your rights by removing the rights of others despite how well the left has managed to demonize people like old white men and so forth. if you excuse and accept this behavior, they just get more bold and we continue to go downhill.
