Trump got a bunch of civilians killed and hosed some U.S. citizens with a travel ban which seems pretty extreme for a first month

It's ironically similar to Bulgogi's claim about Hillary's hawkishness, you see

oh no you're right i thought you were actually agreeing with him.

the problem with this narrative is that, during the election, there was an equally screechy conservative movement based around righteous indignation that was milked for clicks by opportunistic garbage media and youtubers devoid of intellectual honesty. so you had the rainbow haired shadow of the sjw on one side, and the smug animal avatars wearing pixel shades on the other, and they both just fukken fed off each other growing larger and schreechier in each iteration

on the other hand, outside of the shitshow that is the internet, political polarization is a big problem. republicans and demos want to gouge out each others eyes, and they both blame each other for this polarization, when, in reality, its mostly just Fox news' fault (uhoh, a definitive opinion that isn't "everyone's a little at fault")

its not even the name calling or the hostility its the unwillingness to see a different perspective and the handwaving away of the entirety of the midwest whose electorate lost them the election. most of the liberal leaning and moderate people i know voted for trump because like hell we were going to vote for a political establishment openly telling us we don't matter

also i have been blocked on twitter by an absurd amount of liberals because i presented level headed criticism of their arguments that show a clear fantasy view of how the rest of the country operates. conservatives usually just immediately betray whatever bigotry they hold and/or call you an idiot. there is a very clear difference in behavior between how the two groups operate online even though both are screamy preachy morons

their perspective is bad i hate to break it to you and they voted for a guy that's going to make it a lot worse for them.

it was more the dems running a lovely candidate who didn't get people fired up (trump won due to depressed dem turnout, not switching voters).

I read an article that said university students, particularly 8 year ones versus 4 years have such insular ways of teaching in university and are only exposed to one type of political dichotomy most of them literally cannot and do not want to fathom life from another persons perspective. Since that person didn't have the same prestigious education the entire notion that there are other opinions is completely disregarded like what's perfectly displayed above. The problem with living in your own narrative is you still have to share the world with everyone else, the poor dumb people you look down your nose at thou aren't taking anti-depressants and Literally Shaking over everything the president does and their outrage was way more fabricated when Obama won - than what the left is drumming up for what was ultimately one of the worst campaigns ever run. She made Mitt Romney look like god drat Mister Rogers.

I mean, they can if it's a perceived sociopolitical underdog they can convince themselves they somehow identify with their struggles on some surface level, despite being straight, white, cis people just like the ones they're protesting against. But that's mainly to reinforce their victim mentality which justifies perceived victories and hand waves complete bungles - like the 2016 election :D

When Mitt Romeny said 47% of the country was water trash it was sign of his complete disconnect from the common man, when Hillary said "Half Of Population Of U.S. Are “Irrational” “Functional Illiterates”, Including Sanders Supporters" that was just Our Girl Telling It Like It IS :D

I don't understand the argument that colleges are "liberal brainwashing institutions". None of my classes really seemed to lean one way or another on the political scale and most if not all of the political preaching is coming from other students. And also the random crazy old people that show up and yell at students. But to be fair I'm a STEM major at the racist bakesale university so :shrug:. Is it not like this in other places?

PROFESSOR: So if you'll refer to pages 2 to 2,000,000,000 of your textbook you'll see the well-documented evidence of man-induced global climate change.

COLLEGE REPUBLICAN: Liberal lies!!!!!!! This college is a breeding ground for liberal propaganda! Also, I exist here on campus so that's weird!
