Boycotts and Riots

[Mooshi]

Anyone else finding this to be too ridiculous?

 

Angry Hillary supporters "peacefully"  prot-RIOTING and now some bitter Trump supporters threating to boycott all of Pepsico because "I didn't like what the CEO said!!!!" Then there was the incident with people burning New Balance shoes/ crazy racists implying they are "shoes for white people" 

 

tl;dr at least half of the US population eat paint chips. 

[Real_PhillBert]

Protesting is fine, boycotting is fine, but destruction of property and violence are not. This goes for both the political right and the political left.

Oh I'm sorry 300K extra votes isn't that much considering the population of Murica, people needs to stop complaining about the voting system in Murica as there's nothing wrong with it as proven with this election, population is something but this means states with smaller populations gets a chance to win. More states wanted trump thus he won. 

 

If the UK had a system like this, if the Scotland actually had their votes heard...68% to remain...sigh

If you're hung up about the popular vote thing, then you're missing not only the point, but the actual source of the anger.

Yes, Hillary getting the popular vote is a part of it, but the main reason for the protests/riots is because America just validated Sexism, Racism, and Anti-LGBTQ ideologies. Minorities have already died or have been seriously injured from folks who fly under that flag, the fucking KKK has done a parade in Trumps honor, and they (Minorities) don't want the US to revert to 50 years ago.

People are quite literally fearful for their lives, and what happens when you back a scared, angry animal into a cage? It attacks in a desperate act to save it's life. This is what is happening right now, I'm actually quite surprised that it hasn't been a full-out civil war yet.

You lost contact to Reality Buddy.

I saw this post about an ambulance nurse deeply upset after their ambulance getting stuck in the protests. The patient died and now a 4 year old girl doesn't have a daughter. Protesting and blocking the roads for AMBULANCES is not okay. Fuck that.

No one is fighting for their lives, period. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

It is kind of hilarious. The democrats were the ones going on about how they were worried Trump supporters weren't going to accept the election results. Even Hillary made comments this. She loses the election in a landslide and then a bunch of her supporters start protesting and rioting. Quite ironic.

Tell that to the lady in the article I posted, and to protesters being confronted by Trump supports (and even being shot).
Tell that to the woman who may soon lose her life because she won't be able to get the abortion that would stop both her and the baby from dieing.
Tell that to the gay or lesbian couple who won't be able to get jobs, or medical care because of their sexuality
Tell that to the Muslim who will be made to go back to a country being torn apart by war
Tell that to the mentally ill patient who will lose care because they aren't capable of affording it.

Need I go on? Like I said, literally fighting for their lives.

Look, violence and rioting is never the answer. But you're painting a broad generalization that all "Liberals" are rioting and attacking Trump supporters - which is quite simply not the case.

 

The people who vandalize and are violent are scum, and should be charged accordingly. Those who continue to protest peacefully should also continue to do so, as it's their constitutional right.

Generalizations do your argument no favors, especially when they only paint one side with a brush when both are equally guilty.

Also, they tried that already, guess how that turned out?

So far, the only ones in danger are those who are or COULD HAVE BEEN (we have no way o knowing if the old man from the first vid voted trump, he isn't wearing anything and there is nothing on his car that would suggest that) Trump supporters.

 

So @PocketNerd, all I have to offer to you is a heartfelt 'Fuck you'.

Apparently you missed the part where I said "both sides." You've also missed how I have never said "all" Trump supporters.
