[QUOTE=cyanidem;51368958]It looks like a plant tbh, surprised no one in the crowd called them out on it considering the people that these crowds are supposed to be made out of.[/QUOTE] Yeah the same people who are destroying property and lynching people for just voting different or having a different opinion would never do anything bad like hold up a offensive sign.
[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51369074]Yes because some people rioted all protests under that purpose are riots Also "just voting different or having a different opinion" it was bigger than that, it was electing a retard as the president but it seems more and more like Trump was only pretending to be retarded so idk[/QUOTE] "Voting for a retard" doesnt make it any better reason to be attacked. Also it isnt even bigger then that. They literally were attacked for different political ideas. Nothing more or less.
People see this one dude holding up his shit sign and say "oh look at [I]them[/I]. [I]they're[/I] so tolerant pfft!". Pretty sure this is an individual.
yeah, generalisation is always massively detrimental regardless of which side it comes from
It's sickening that some people find it funny to rile people up with talking about rape. "Oh it's just a joke!" A joke about trauma, about dehumanizing people into objects for your sexual gratification, a joke that enables people who [i]actually will[/i] sexually assault people because their buddies joke about it, so it's okay to do.

The light shines through the sign in this picture, and it doesn't look like it's double sided. The one holding it is facing the other way and blends into the crowd protesting towards the hotel, while the message is one that would be directed towards the public in the first place. I have a hunch that this was specifically made to make the protesters look bad[del], but in any case it's still really concerning that this person isn't getting massive amounts of shit from those standing around/directly behind them[/del]. [editline]edit[/editline] [URL="https://tweetsave.com/thereal_beck/status/797597403088125952"]In the other picture[/URL], I [I]think[/I] you can see that the one holding up the sign is being pulled on the arm by the one behind them. It's pretty clear the message isn't tolerated too much if I didn't mistake the image.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;51368971]what % of people who disagreed with trump said that his wife should be raped vs what % of trump said that he grabs women by the vagina[/QUOTE] Easy - no one in that crowd seemed to be bothered by that sign, considering he/she kept it up long enough for someone to snap a pic. Besides, if they had, we'd now be talking about some viral video about them beating up some dude/chick retarded enough to wave that sign in front of the Army of Moral Correctness. [editline]14th November 2016[/editline] Then again, it can all be a hoax just to get a rise out of people like us, so what do I know.
[QUOTE=_Axel;51368927]Is that supposed to make you want to vote for Cruz? :v:[/QUOTE] Sometimes people who make political ads aren't the brightest. I remember a couple years ago one of the right wing parties was running an attack ad on their opponent that was just a repeated voice sample of them saying "I support gay marriage" followed by a narrator going "Other candidate supports gay marriage, vote for our candidate". Not exactly that effective when the majority of Australians also support gay marriage.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;51368531]*Before the election* [i]"B-b-but he's a literal rapist!!"[/i] *After the election, he won* [i]"H-his wife is a whore and should be raped!"[/i][/QUOTE] remember kids, generalizing is bad and divisive. but only if you're generalizing trump supporters

[QUOTE]I'm right here, a liberal, condemning this. I know very few people who would find this acceptable - but I don't doubt that some would. There are bigots and sexists and racists and assholes of every political spectrum. [/QUOTE] I glad you see this. These people are the real issue. Abusive people come from all viewpoints. Here is my explanation of what is going on here: [QUOTE] This is a theory basic and structured on the psychological structure of authoritarian ideas. Both left and right. It states that ever since the dawn of humanity, all the idiots, crazy, deluded, dishonest people outnumbered decent, sane, smart people. The only people left to lead this crazies were predatory leaders. The predatory leaders realized the more insane and sick they made the idiots, the more money, power. and fame they get. So to increase these things, the predatory (exploiters) make people even more dumb, insane, deluded, nasty, dishonest and submissive/ Which in turn made the masses more likely to turn and eliminate smart, sane, decent people and work to eliminate all the ideas that were good for people and were valid. So the process has gone on to the point the only ideas that exist are the toxic ones. I call this the Hemlock process. I call the hemlock process in honor of Socrates who symbolizes this idea perfectly. Any one who disagrees with this idea is under the "false consciousness" of this process until they acknowledge the only valid idea is hemlock theory. [/QUOTE] What we are experiencing is the end result of an ideal designed to allow people to go off the deep end and give moral justification for it. It will not end well
[QUOTE=Guriosity;51379122]Any one who disagrees with this idea is under the "false consciousness" of this process until they acknowledge the only valid idea is hemlock theory.[/QUOTE] I suggest you ditch this idea, it's dogmatic and seals itself against any and all criticism. You've written confirmation bias into it.
[QUOTE=Vlevs;51379162]I suggest you ditch this idea, it's dogmatic and seals itself against any and all criticism. You've written confirmation bias into it.[/QUOTE] I stole the psychological structure from social justice and political correctness.
[QUOTE=Guriosity;51379183]I stole the psychological structure from social justice and political correctness.[/QUOTE] Are you running some kind of race to the bottom?

My first thought when I saw that gif was of the [url=http://wiki.ytmnd.com/Facial_Expressions]Facial Expressions[/url] fad
It's the hypocrisy from both sides that does it, Trump supporters saying this is bad when Trump is literally a sexual assaulter (or at least bragged about it) and that Clinton/Bernie supporters condemned trump for this. And the fact that trump supporters are saying how the grand wizard is just one man, but somehow think that this represents the entire thing, brings me back to the deplorable comments.

[QUOTE=AnnieOakley;51380426]So was the sign real or edited in?[/QUOTE] It can't be said 100% for certain. But it's VERY unlikely to be totally real. With all of the fake news around from both sides right now I'm just going to settle on "it's bullshit." Especially because it doesn't show up in any of the videos.
[QUOTE=Lolkork;51368581][B]That T-shirt was probably created by the fundamentalist right, not the left.[/B] Remember Cruz? [IMG]http://gq-images.condecdn.net/image/r5qaGmdKJPN/crop/810[/IMG][/QUOTE] I would think so too but that night on Nov 8th my liberal total blue democrat no matter what family screamed about Trump's wife being a pornstar. Since they're testosterone fueled rage machines I couldn't get 1 word in over their redfaced shouting when Hillary lost. Any sane person couldn't care less about what the POTUS wife does. Cartoonish hypocrites. It's so autistic to scream about politics to people you live with.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;51368531]The contradiction is palpable.
