Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMy FB 45 fans are having some serious meltdowns. I even feel sorry for them. They are so hateful
they are giving themselves strokes. The venom they spewed about HRC was so intense it was hidden most of the time.
They are totally devastated and they deserve every bit of scorn I am about to unload on them.

(10,495 posts)They hate Hillary, Obama, Pelosi... because Fox and RE radio continuously spewed negative lies on everything that happened. They believe that every action by these Democrats had a negative connotation.
This is proof to them they are in a bubble, encourage them to come out and compare Fox to any other network and learn they have been manipulated.

(118 posts)Unpatriotic, etc. Well, at least when history has been recorded you were actually on the right side of it. I was announcing this russisa stuff to everyone LAST SUMMER. There was already little signs popping up. The dossier was swept under the rug. But emails omg! People laughed at me, said i was insane, said i sounded like id been up for a week. This was before the news was even talking about it. I was freaking a bit. Nobody was paying attention to it. I was questioning my own sanity because it was so clear to me...

(809 posts)should have sent out more warning signals. I watched a debate ( I believe it was that last one) where Clinton obviously won and the unscientific network polls had her in a big lead and suddenly the polls dramatically changed to Trumps favor. Someone put up a comment that showed most of the traffic was coming from St Petersburg Russia. Of course, Foxbots had been preprogrammed to think Putin was a great leader. Wingers at work were singing the praises of Putin long before the election because they heard it on Fox.

(3,788 posts)They dont know that Im a liberal. One of them even posted something about liberals hating on Eric Trumps newborn son FFS.
DownriverDem
(6,228 posts)It use to be that folks differed on the issues and would discuss them. Now after years of hate on the Dems & Liberals, repubs hate us. Yet when you bring up issues (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA), many righties agree with us, but still won't vote for the Dem because they are Liberals. In fact when some repubs are asked why they voted for trump & the repubs when they said they would hurt the issues they care about, they said they couldn't vote for the Dem. So how far do these folks have to fall before they wake up?

(6,070 posts)I had to face the painful truth that people I once liked were totally onboard with the idea of a racist, misogynist, Nazi-sympathizing dirtbag at the helm of our country. If they are in a state of anguish now because their guy is going down, well, payback is a bitch.
On edit: I'd add, if you start to feel any sympathy for them, then imagine what they'd be saying if Trump tweeted that Mueller is fired, the investigation ends now, and then Kelly sends Marines to board up his office.

(193 posts)if they watched Hannity last night.( I did so you don't have to) He was apoplectic. He used the word incontrovertible at least 5 times in 5 minutes to describe the evidence against HRC "selling out our Uranium to an enemy" He had an allstar panel of the Nazi Seb Gorka, the adulterer and disgraced Speaker Newt and the liar Jay Sekulow. The last two actually sounded "relatively" same when compared to cement head Hannity.

(22,651 posts)IN my opinion a "D" shouldn't be "heaping scorn on them" , pity them- they were scammed for a vote & tossed aside.

(2,921 posts)Remind them that Obamacare only needs to be fixed, and they should let their elected representatives know that. Encourage them to tell their elected representatives that the tax fraud scam Republicans are trying to enact will not help them at all. Don't gloat tell them to watch MSNBC starting with Ari Melber all the way through Brian Williams. It doesn't matter what they did in the past. They only need to make an effort and never let it happen again by never voting Republican again. Simple stuff, really. We all know that we must relentlessly rid this country of selfish, dishonest, lying, criminals that are in and associate with The White House. Ignoring their tantrums, and pouts and shrieks will be far more effective - including at getting off anyway. Subtlety can be brutal. Just don't let them vent in your presence. It's their toxic rage, not yours!
I take a different approach. I embarrass them. They deserve all of the scorn and ridicule. If they are truly that stupid to believe the lies they dont deserve pity and they shouldn't vote ever again. That is what I tell them. We lost by 70,000 votes in a stolen election in 3 rust belt states. FUK them. Get the millenials and independents and true blue collar voters to see the light and we never need the mouth breathers to come to our side.

Dear Bloated Orange Felon,
Hi, it's me again, Pickle. Everyone keeps saying you did bad things and tried to sell our democracy to Russia. I just stick my fingers in my ears when they say that. I know you are in a maximum security prison, but I am still your biggest fan. Please find the goodie basket I enclosed. There should be two scoops of ice cream and some beautiful cake.
Love,
Pickle (now age 40)
