1. Just remember who they are.

Avoid them at all costs after the election.

[ileus]

2. We will crush them once we're firmly in power.

They will bend or we'll break them, one or the other.

[63splitwindow]

3. There really is no alternative. Let's get non-violent offenders out of prison so there will be...

room for those who pose are an actual threat of physical harm to peace loving citizens.

[guillaumeb]

5. How did that work after your civil war?

It seems like that particular war never really ended.

[63splitwindow]

6. There are those who have never accepted the fact that the Union won...

but that has been the case for 150 years. The question is how does society deal with people who threaten physical harm to others? If incarceration is not the answer, what is?



ps. What do you have against Neil deGrasse Tyson?

[guillaumeb]

7. My signature line is a reworking of a Tyson quote about God.

To your question: Yes, sometimes violent people have to be removed from circulation.

[63splitwindow]

9. Thanks. What's the quote?

[guillaumeb]

11. The quote:

"God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance".

[63splitwindow]

14. That appears to be out of context. here it is in its entirety (2 minute GOOGLE search)...

"Does it mean, if you don’t understand something, and the community of physicists don’t understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? Because if it is, here’s a list of things in the past that the physicists at the time didn’t understand [and now we do understand] [...]. If that’s how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that’s getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on - so just be ready for that to happen, if that’s how you want to come at the problem."

[guillaumeb]

15. But given that the signature line must fit a limited space,

I used what I gave you and reworked it.

[63splitwindow]

19. Thanks. It is clear what you did and why. Have a nice evening.

[pinboy3niner]

4. Crush your enemies! See them driven before you! Hear the lamentations of their women!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[rug]

8. !

[guillaumeb]

17. Did anyone ever tell the Creator that he looks a lot like Charleton Heston?

They could almost be brothers.

[EX500rider]

12. : )

[pinboy3niner]

13. They don't call him "The Barbarian" for nothing!

[Warren DeMontague]

10. I think ratcheting down the drama a notch or two might not be a terrible idea, here.

It's an election year and the GOP has nominated a staggeringly bad candidate, but that happens a lot.

The good news is, he'll probably lose.

[63splitwindow]

16. Do you visit any RW scumnut sites to see the kind of violence they are "afraid of" if

Don the Con loses? They have no hesitation to attempt to physically intimidate people to vote the way they want.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. They're gonna lose, and hopefully he'll cause enough damage downticket

to leave us in a much better space.

But I grew up in Chicago, man. Let's not pretend like simmering anger and intimations of political violence, even, are some sort of brand new development.



Trump is letting it all hang out, to be sure- but again the good news is that the majority of Americans are seeing it and rejecting it.

[pinboy3niner]

18. Dude, you're going parabolic when the theme is clearly hyperbolic

Get with the program!

[Warren DeMontague]

32. wheeee!

[TheMastersNemesis]

20. I Don't Feel I Am Being Hyperbolic Considering What Seems To Now OK.

Trump is about mainstreaming what his followers believe. What they represent and demand is out in the open. The Trump campaign more than anything else represents a Christian white supremacist movement that does not plan to take no for an answer.

[NuclearDem]

21. Can we maybe not do the dehumanization thing?

Disagree with them, fine, but this is just over the top.

[63splitwindow]

23. See post #15 above. Are you familiar with what the RW scumnuts have said/are saying?

[NuclearDem]

24. Frankly, I think the world's better off with my Trump-supporting father

who would never say he "couldn't live with or tolerate" Clinton supporters like me than with a bunch of "more-liberal-than-thou" edgelords who do say that about Trump supporters.

That kind of talk is usually what immediately precedes some lunatic going out and committing a mass shooting.

[63splitwindow]

25. You did not answer my question at all.

[NuclearDem]

27. I'm completely aware of what's been going at Trump rallies.

I'm also completely aware that shit like this:

Trumpers Are People That We Cannot Live With Or Tolerate. They Are The Worst Of Us. [View all]

I do not see how we can live with Trump lovers. They represent the worst side of humanity. It is like living with a rabid dog or lethal contagion.

is no better than that.

[63splitwindow]

29. My question was whether you visit any RW scumnut sites and read the not so thinly veiled

threats of violence they threaten will occur if Don the Con loses. Not all supporters of Don the Con fall into that category and, based upon what you have said, your Dad does not. It is the base that would continue to support him even if he did shoot someone dead on 5th Avenue in NY, NY that we are talking about. The "Trump lovers."

[BlueStater]

28. I wouldn't say we're "better off" with anyone who votes for Trump.

I define Trump supporters into two categories: INCREDIBLY ignorant people or people who know he's awful but are still supporting him anyway. The latter group is worse than the former. They're American traitors who have more loyalty to the Republican party than to their country. However, I can't excuse the former group, either. I could excuse their stupidity in voting for George W. Bush twice. I CAN'T excuse voting for a narcissistic, moronic, racist lunatic who has never held a day in public office and has the vocabulary of a fifth grader. That's a bridge too far for me. They'll forever be repulsive dumbasses to me whose ignorance is going to lead to the death of this country someday and it might happen sooner than you think.

[nolabear]

26. Nope. When they go low, we go high.

I cannot imagine being that kind of person.

[Kennah]

30. Conservatives are not our enemies, they are our neighbours

Those were the words of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau not only on election night but also throughout the campaign.

8:23 if you want to hear them, but I encourage you to watch the whole thing.

31. How about cutting a deal

when Drumpf loses the election. Instead of wreaking havoc, Drumpf supporters are given the option of jail or inhabiting Alaska. That remote state can be designated as Trumpland, leaving the continental United States free of the plague.

My apologies to any DU members from Alaska!

[63splitwindow]

33. I volunteered them going to Texas and Texas seceding a couple of weeks ago...

and caught grief from a Texas Dem. So an existing piece of US real estate won't work. How about we buy the beautiful Baja peninsula from Mexico and give it to them? We will even build a wall to secure their border with us.

[True Dough]

34. But I'm opposed

to giving them a warm climate, unless it's the sun! How about we ship them all to the sun?

[63splitwindow]

36. Surely Canada has some BEAUTIFUL land they could sell for the right price?

We would still save money in the long run by freeing ourselves from those aholes.


edit: OR, BETTER YET--- RUSSIA!!!

[True Dough]

38. You know I'm a Canadian?

So even the high Arctic is out, at least the Canuck territory. But, yeah, maybe his buddy Putin will grant Drumpf sanctuary.

[oberliner]

35. Yes, we can

That's the whole point of being a liberal and/or a progressive.

You are talking about literally millions of your fellow Americans.
