the establishment liberals are all about letting the rich do as they please, their disdain of the working man is one aspect to The Fall of Hillary Clinton and why sanders is so popular.

Liberalism was devised specifically to protect rich people's money. That's its first and only component. All other apparent ideas are either an extension of the core principle, or a concession to keep the plebs from sharpening their guillotines.

If you take away all the rich people's money then they can't decide to be magnanimous with 2% of it and give us parks and stuff. You idiot, you cur.

How will the poor bankers pay to heat their pools or fly to aspen for the ski season if they don't earn more in bonuses than the entire minimum wage class in total earnings? Think of how bereft of worth a life without d'agustation plates is!

It's really disgusting.

I'm seeing a lot of the population just get fed up with the excuses and the distractions these people throw out to protect their wealth and power.

Donald Trump is a dangerous rear end in a top hat who could cause a lot of irreversible damage to this country. But you know what? Sadly he's correct on the statement of the press being the enemy of the :911: people. (perhaps not in the manner he was thinking he was going to be) The media outlets he tossed out were responsible for our country going down this path, and they need to be held accountable

People get alarmed at him throwing out those poo poo outlets under the bus, but frankly I don't mind it. Those people have lost so much respect from the American people as a whole that they need to be separated from their corporate masters and the people involved in that industry really need to be purged.

I used to think that the likes of Fox News, Limbaugh, etc were the "enemy" of advancing the causes of the rich, etc. But now it's pretty obvious that the problem also lies with the fact that their "liberal" counterparts do not do their jobs to serve the american people, but rather serve the rich and powerful as well.

I apologize for sounding like I'm even remotely defending Trump here. But perhaps it's far better if we all realized that the NYT is owned by a multi-billioniare in Carlos Silm, CNN is a subsidiary of Time Warner, NBC is a subsidiary of Comcast/GE, etc, etc

e: Look at how these assholes carry the water for the Military Industrial Complex for christ's sake. Christ NYT ran poo poo on the front page to get our asses into Iraq based on lies.

The rich and elite in this country had better be careful in regards to ignoring the needs of the disenfranchised in this country.

Because eventually? It's not going to end well. It's already manifested itself in the election of Trump. I don't want to know what the next step is going to be, but dear god, I hope they get their heads out of their asses before we get to that point.

Much like when he shat on Bill for his own history of sexual assault, calling out the media is something that Trump is technically correct to do but it can't be forgotten that it's coming from an absolutely deplorable place: A likely rapist who just wants to deflect from his own bullshit/A fascist who literally believes he should never be covered negatively.

The problem with relying on the army to preserve your power is when you send them to put down the uprising and they realise 'hey that's my cousin in the crowd, why should I shoot him?' Propping up the military as the social welfare state is going to have some unforseen consequences should the poor rise up.

Much like George Takei she lost her mind after Nov 8th. I also don't think it helped keeping her ego in check when every lame internet person uses her novels to convoy thought/message. The whole "Dumbledore's Army" thing from grown adults was just embarrassing.

It's really bizarre that people are rallying behind these people as the "resistance".

I would also argue that prior to November 8th a lot of these people were on that road after Trump got chosen as the GOP nominee/was in the primaries. I often wonder if they'd be acting in a similar douchey fashion had HRC won (or Bernie too perhaps? To be fair).

it's a group of people who spent the entire leadup to election day being smug shitheads to trump supports going "now remember, don't riot just because you lost"

then they started acting exactly like they'd been telling trump supporters not to

i mean you have to understand it from their mindset: trump stole the election because all the news sources had said hillary was already guaranteed to win, so i mean, why even bother to vote/lol how about i vote for harambe as a joke, after all, it's guaranteed

then they lost

but to directly answer your question yes they would be acting just as douchey cause they were already acting super douchy except it would have been the kind of douchey of a smug shithead going "hmmmmmmm boy isn't it great to be on the right side hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" while smiling in an rear end in a top hat way

It's just comes across as a bit of a "fad" to me.

It feels at times like people are also ditching a lot of values they currently had or are teaming up with they would otherwise find repulsive to get rid of Trump.

I don't consider the likes of Bill Kristol, Paul Krugman, Evan McMullin, and Glenn Beck to be "allies". They're not. Nothing about them changed after election day. They're still HORRIBLE people that have done/.said horrible things. Yet I see a lot of democrats cheerleading them and the millitary industrial complex re: "saving us from TRUMP".

Please don't misunderstand me on this btw. I think opposing Trump on the immigration ban and other things are noble causes. These SHOULD be done. But for these people it often doesn't come across as being concerned, but rather just being angry "because Trump" is a thing.
