[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51341423]I'm still in disbelief.
Fuck you, Trump supporters.[/QUOTE]
how tolerant! Aren't Hillary supporters the nicest?
[QUOTE=codemaster85;51341255]except she was considering she won the popular vote[/QUOTE]
That's nice that she barely managed to edge out Donald fucking Trump in regards to the popular vote (which is only a portion of the overall voting age population); Donald Trump whom alienated so many voting demographics, Donald Trump whom so many considered a massive joke, Donald Trump with what policies he has released generally being unfeasible. What a massive accomplishment.
Nevermind 21% of Hillary voters (per exit polls) were voting for "not Trump" rather than for her.
Nevermind 28% of Trump voters were voting for "not Hillary" rather than Trump.
Nevermind only 84% of self-described Democratic voters voted for Hillary.
Nevermind Hillary only managed to win the vote of 54% of women even with the "first women present" thing going for her.
Nevermind she lost to Trump in terms of both Republican and independent voters.
Nevermind 70% of voters said she was "not honest and trustworthy" (vs. 56% for Trump)

Truly the candidate the American people wanted, and not just a candidate a lot of logical people saw as the lesser of two evils, and more saw as the greater of two evils.
[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;51341412]Silly me, I guess I forgot Fox News was biased, and so insulting random people on the internet for no reason is a much smarter way to spend your time than working for the one of the most famous news networks in the world.[/QUOTE]
At least you aren't actively decreasing the quality and accuracy of political discourse on a national level?
I'd certainly argue that doing nothing is better than doing something harmful, y'know?

How is it that people who tolerate gay people, women, and minorities are hypocrites for not also tolerating the people who made a giant racist baby the most powerful person on Earth?
What the heck was that quote about thanking people for posting on "secret private facebook sites". Is that her way of thanking the reddit admins for doing their best spindoctor work? :what:

When did this become about morality? I think you need to back up a bit.
Hillary peacefully concedes while the internet explodes
The contrast is staggering :v:

Most Trump supporters are non-college educated, which leans heavily toward the idea that they have no idea how the Government functions.
Just like Trump doesn't.

You want to give a shit about tolerance considering the ramifications of the tanned Buffoon's statements.

We can only hope he has a meltdown when he's forced out of office. Either due to term limit or from him massively fucking everything up and getting impeached.
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51341949]trump supporters dont deserve respect.[/QUOTE]
This mindset alone probably cost enough votes for Trump to win.
When you show no respect, you will receive none in return, and whatever message you have, no matter how noble or true, will fall on deaf ears.

In my experience being respectful doesn't help either.
Hell Trump's victory is now the biggest indictment indictment against the golden rule in human history.

Trump is an indictment against people power. Join me and my support for anti-populist elite led governance.
Not convinced Trump will actually try to jail Clinton after that victory speech, despite how much I dislike and distrust him

Dont you think its possible this sort of rhetoric might hinder open communication between parties and prevent, say, trump supporters from ever changing their mind?
Insulting people doesnt make them go "oh yeah i agree with that person" it just makes them hate you...

You can explain how "He speaks his mind" isn't a good reason to vote for someone only so many times.

Versus the actual supporters it probably doesn't, just as someone who is respectively arguing in favor of Trump to a Hillary supporter probably isn't going to change their mind.
The point isn't to change their minds though; they've already made up their mind. The point is to change the mind of the undecided bystander (of whom there are many on the Internet), and to work towards a framework of mutual respect if disagreement over policy between those on both sides.
When someone doesn't give the person or position they are arguing against respect, they make themselves look worse, and make their position look worse by proxy.

"'He speaks his mind' isn't a good reason to vote for someone" is not a fact, it is an opinion. Putting forth an opinion as something factual (and the underlying mindset) is hindering the conversation before it even starts.
