Why are we supposed to play nice and act like nothing happened?

[Initech]

That seems to be the meme now. Dave Chappelle even addressed it in his monologue on Saturday Night Live. If you look anywhere - at any comments section or on Twitter or Facebook, the conservatives are being the bullies and assholes that they are. And we're supposed to bow down and play nice and act like nothing happened the last 18 months? Or that the right wing has spent 35 years destroying and discrediting Hillary Clinton and 8 years obstructing Obama, and the last year obstructing Obama's SCOTUS pick? Are we supposed to ignore Mitch McConnell's middle finger aimed at Obama for picking a SCOTUS justice, or the hundreds of thousands of insults Donald Trump hurled at Hillary Clinton? Or the amount of times Obama was questioned about his citizenship, or the countless investigations into Benghazi when time after time no wrong doing was found? Hell no. I'm not playing nice. I'm done with them. After the way they treated us like shit up to and after the election. I'm done. We're suddenly supposed to be holding hands and singing Kumbaya? Hell no! We need some Bluto in our party right now. We're suffering from defeatist mentality but we need to GOTV and make sure Donald Trump is a lame duck president in 2018.

1. It seems like that's the way it always goes. I was told immediately by Trump supporters

to just get over it and now we have to come together...and I counter with oh yeah the same way you guys did when Obama won?

All I can chalk it up to is that this just proves yet again that we are the better party. We don't come out of the gates with saying we're going to block everything that Trashpot does...no we pledge to work together on what we can find common ground on.

Regardless, we shall hold every Trump supporter and their leader accountable. It's going to be a busy 4 years.

2. Yeah I did the same on Youtube yesterday.

Some asshole Trump supporter was saying we should all move along and that there's nothing to see here. I countered with something similar and the reply I got was "Grow the fuck up". Oh so the deplorables go full Scott Tenorman on us, and we're supposed to "grow the fuck up"? Please!

19. Anybody else have post say there

was an error but after you post a new one...they show up?

[Demsrule86]

22. And shockingly by some on the left.

[Hugin]

3. Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!

Wooo! Forget this post-mortem crap! We CAN win! We DID win*! We WILL win!














* The popular vote! The BEST vote!

[treestar]

16. Yes based on that

There is no reason to cooperate with them. The people wanted Hillary. We should insiste the orange to sin should consult with the people for every decision

[get the red out]

4. This stuff bothers me too

They gave President Obama hell for 8 years, but we are supposed to play nice when they elect the most dangerous person to the presidency in my lifetime (yes, I was alive when Nixon was elected too!). It bothers the crap out of them to have to listen to the opposition. If they can't take it THEY are the ones that need to grow up.

5. I am finished with being nice

[Initech]

6. I feel like someone is going to declare war on us if Trump isn't careful.

His plan to deport 3 million "illegals" after his inauguration is bound to piss somebody off. Between this and the deplorables, we're going to need a lot more Jack Daniels to get us through the next 4 years.

13. Do not confuse playing nice and

complacency.

[herding cats]

7. Nope, I'm not making nice.

They elected the "P#$$% Grabber" they get my full disrespect for the entire time he's in office representing them.

I can, and I will, point out every promise he breaks to them, every stupid move he makes, every quasi-illegal/illegal act he attempts and I will call them out on their racist, bigoted, misogynistic and Nationalistic stupidity.

9. The elected dems we have need to take a page from their playbook and obstruct everything.

Obstruct his SCOTUS picks, obstruct his leglislation, obstruct everything.

He's already threatening on his plans to go full Nazi: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/immigration-hardliner-says-trump-team-preparing-plans-for-wall-mulling-muslim-registry/ar-AAklbJK?li=BBnb7Kz

[treestar]

15. Yes.

Filibuster every single thing as they did. Shut down the government.

[mcar]

8. I told my Trump voting neighbor (in a FB post)

that I would give him the same "chance" that Republicans gave President Obama. He didn't respond.

[flamingdem]

10. We do need Bluto

[Initech]

11. Trump fans are what you get when you watch Animal House and root for Dean Wormer.

[Paladin]

12. I must not have received that memo.

I'm in no mood to "play nice." To the contrary......

[treestar]

14. Word!

Give me a fucking break. Their bullying has been rewarded !

[Demsrule86]

17. Fuck Dave Chappelle...

No nice...they did nothing but obstruct President Obama. Call you congressperson...and tell them...no cooperation no surrender...no fiddling with social security to get crumbs...no privatized roads...no no no.

[Demsrule86]

18. We should not play nice.

They were horrible to Obama screw them. They want to voucherize medicare and end social security...they want to privatize roads...no working with them. If any Dem works with or any independent. Kick them out of the caucus.

[uponit7771]

20. Yeap, its mostly white people saying we should play nice now ... relatively few PoC are saying that

[Initech]

21. They're saying we should play nice, but they'll gladly trash everything the New York Times says.

God forbid anyone should have a non favorable opinion of Trumpenfuror.

23. Do you know who the school super is, do you know who the highway super is, do

you know who the liberian is, do you know who your state house member is, it is time to learn the process and take part in your district or run for office.

[hamsterjill]

24. We cannot play nice any more.

I'd like to be able to "go high" when they go low, but you cannot go high when they cheat.

Dems are going to have to get down in the gutter with the assholes to be able to counter the vile and hatred that Trump has normalized. It's absolutely a sad commentary on where we are, but it is going to be a necessity to regain any sense of fair play.

As to those Trump supporters who have told (and continue to tell) me to "get over it"? Fuck them all. I'll get over it when I am damn good and ready. I'm tired of the playing field not be fair and level.
