Way to actually respond to anything I said. But good job just deciding that anybody that doesn't like Trump is just a dumbass protester. Sorry to invade your safe space and trigger you ;(
Ok. "Enlighten" me as to how you conclude that a VP's public stance on gays is going to lead to whatever the hell you think he can do. And here's the thing, you don't have to be angry (because I agree that gays should have the same rights as anyone else).
Go ahead, break down how a vp is going to force through whatever your irrational fear is. No way in hell it makes it through even a deplorable-controlled house.

Also, remember those pesky markets everyone was just so sure were going to burn so badly. Make sure and compare how those issues are slam-dunks.

Ok. I've already shown evidence that Trump conducted his VP search by selling them on being the most powerful VP in history, so VP beliefs matter. Next, all that it will take to begin forcing through that belief system is for the 2 crypt-keeper liberal supreme justices to die, at which point it only takes 1 case reaching the new SC for all of the current rights for gays to be rolled back. None of that is implausible at all, or even unlikely.

Heck, even without supreme court decisions, there's an interview coming out next week that was leaked where he will reveal that he intends to roll back protections for transgendered bathroom rights.

Oh, the horror. Let's concentrate on more imaginary things that won't happen.

Ok, sorry. You're right :(
Yes, I know. I am sure you know all about things that are going to happen "next week", and that those things will just be rubber stamped if so.
I also know that in no way is any of this based on irrational, emotionally charged reactions against the President-elect.

I already said you're right :( You convinced me with your well-thought out arguments and logic. Obviously I'm a dumb liberal who simply doesn't understand that direct quotes from the president-elect and his VP don't actually mean anything and I'm just an emotional cry-baby for believing so. In the future I will try to be better at interpreting their own words and will come to you to trump-splain them to me so that I may better understand their intentions.

I asked you to break down what is going to happen to lead to what you fear happening. You are still running on nothing more than emotions. Not a single shred of proof or explanation how they are going to take gay rights away.

Transgender have the right to use bathrooms.
If you mean they will put an end to this nonsense that biological men can use a women's restroom, than thank god, bring that on

I will be waiting patiently to read how you think the government works tomorrow morning. Supreme leader Pence is going to write laws unencumbered apparently. Oh snap, unencumbered is kind of a big word for us deplorable, uneducated racists.

No one ever called him Supreme Leader or said he can write laws all by himself. Nor did anyone call you uneducated or deplorable. Once again your just putting words in my mouth to make your argument better.

Then tell me what people should think when you come with nothing other than irrational fears based on emotion. Nothing you stated has any factual basis.

I am a Trump voter. Simply because I want chaos and for her to never be put anywhere near our military's info ever again.
So yes, because I am in rural America, I am uneducated. And I am deplorable because I chose the most likely candidate to keep her corrupt ass out of the White House.
 
The last couple of elections didn't cause a stock market crash with a candidate that has promised to remove the education department and EPA, as well as have a VP who believes in gay conversion therapy. No Democrat would give a shit if Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush was the President. Having a Christian Extremist as VP and someone who doesn't actually want to be President, but wants to give himself a bunch of tax cuts while letting said Christian Extremist lead the country is scary as hell.
Stock Market crash - zero interest rates
Abolish Department of Education - Prop up teacher unions in failing schools
Abolish EPA - EPA overreach
Wants to give himself tax cuts - wants foreign governments to buy influence
Gay conversion VP - radical "climate change" legislation VP
Christian extremist VP - Obamacare advocate VP

Everything you are passionate about on the left (no pun intended) could be offset by things conservatives are passionate about on the right had Clinton been elected. To suggest what you are passionate about makes rioting OK, but what people with differing opinions are passionate about is somehow not up to the urgency of your passions (which is why no conservatives rioted after 2008) is very narrow-minded and self-centered if you ask me. How about looking at the Occam's razor explanation that the Clinton people in the streets right now tend to be younger, less busy with life, and more likely to be stirred up by well-organized agitators (e.g. Soros) via social media?

CNN anchor Van Jones keeps telling me it's OK if protests happen because it would be happening if Hillary had won, but for the life of me I can't recall a conservative disruptive protest in recent memory. I remember lots of liberal urban bonfires, but no conservative disruptions, sans for the one's the DNC paid for and planted of course. "White-lash" would make a much more convincing argument if those same people he's painting as racists hadn't voted for and help elect Obama, twice. What a tool.

I'm watching more of the "other" news channel's now than I normally do, and they still don't get it. It's just going right over their heads. They thought they had so much sway and were so important, that they could literally conjure up a Presidential candidate out of the mirage that was HRC. For the last year plus they buried her crimes and misdeed's, ran Trump hit pieces daily, gave 10X as much unfavorable coverage to Trump than HRC, consulted with her team on what they could report and took editing suggestions from them, fed her questions in advance of their interviews and debates so she never had to answer a question she didn't know was coming, polled democrats at a higher number to get the poll results they wanted, wouldn't pan out with the camera at Trump rallies to show his support, didn't cover how poorly attended her rallies were, interviewed liberal after liberal leading up to the election about how horrible it would be if he won, Newsweek is recalling their issues that went out before the election was complete with HRC on the cover being introduced as the President, and on, and on, and on.

All that, and they haven't learned a damn thing. America gave all those guys, CNN, MSNBC, MSN, Huffington Post, Reuters, Salon, etc, etc, etc, the middle finger two nights ago. They literally told them "we're not buying what you're selling" and this morning their still using the exact same talking points that proved so ineffective leading up to the election. Must be really humbling when you realize you don't have a fraction of the influence you thought.

This is Hillary and the media's fault......They lied to the public and tied David Duke to Trump when Trump had nothing to do with him...and refused to talk about the things and awards Trump has received and done in dealing with minorities and it blew up in your face.

So cry all you want, just look in the mirror while you do it.
 
Good for them, let them protest over and over and keep showing that zero rights of people are going to be taken away. With social media it will all be recorded for them and they can look back on it in a year and realize "oh, wait, so none of the bad stuff that I thought was going to happen actually happened?"

Congrats!

What about that 3 hour dip in the stock market, that was pretty bad, right?

I guess I have to throw my hat into this ring. Have you ever met a transgendered person? Who cares what bathroom they use. They just want to go pee and leave.

Now if you are worried about sexual predators dressing like women to molest children, I agree. I'm against sexual predators. But I didn't not want them in any bathroom. If you don't want them in the ladies room so they don't rape your daughter, why would you want them in the men's room so they can rape my son?

Do you know where they need a new law… Girls cutting in line to the guys bathroom down in Lincoln during husker games. Have you ever seen what happens at the bars over there! They just cut in front of everyone becuase the girls restroom is so packed!

New flash:real transgenders already were and no one knew. This opens doorways for predators to use them. Hell a week after target allowed it there was already a pervert filming women.
I'm sorry I care more about 99% of the population than 1. We don't need to be putting our women at risk. Your last part is cute but cmon you know it's different things.

Boo Hoo, my candidate lost. I'm going to stamp my feet, scream and hold my breath until my face turns blue (and loot some stores along the way).

I blame the young people for having this entitled attitude that if they can't have their way, they are going to raise hell. But I blame their helicopter, doting, enabling parents even more. They should have instructed their kids to grow a pair.

Lol. I saw more 40+ aged people throwing fits and rolling on the ground the last 8 years than I've ever seen in my life. I just hope the protests are peaceful. Goodness, people are so angry. Yesterday was a weird day.

You're right, transgendered people have been using the bathrooms for years (lots of times people knew - they sometimes do not 'pass' well). And now it is all of a sudden a big deal? It is just the new thing to talk about now that gay marriage is legal (gasp!). If sexual predators are the issue, then lets go after sexual predators. The whole 'who will protect the children?' thing is misguided. Focus on the people that the issue, not some person that is just wants to go to the bathroom.

As a note of importance, my wife is a mental health professional and one of her specialties for the last 7 years has been the transgendered population. So I have probably have a different stance than many people on here.
 
I think it's funny that people are protesting in states that voted overwhelmingly for Clinton.

What's next, a bunch of people picketing an NRA convention holding up signs that say "guns should be legal" ?

They aren't protesting Trump...they are protesting that they lost. Because they didn't think it could happen. I would not be shocked if some of the "protesters" either did't vote OR even did vote for Trump but just kept it a secret and now they are "protesting" because their friends are out their "protesting"
 
Now the biggest item going over all the media's head, conservative and liberal alike...is that a lot more black people voted for Trump than they think and are reporting. Same for Hispanics. They derive that data from exit polls, and do you really think those people leaving the polls are going to admit they voted for Trump? Amazing that nobody is getting this.

This is what happens when the "participation trophy" generation doesn't get what it wants. They never learned to lose

You didn't respond to anything I posted.
This opens doors for predators. PERIOD. Oh, so go after them after the fact? How about we have common sense and men use mens restrooms. My god 3rd world problems, right? I have no problem at all saying 'NO' to this.
The PC in this nation is just getting CRAZY, and is literally putting people at risk. Don't downplay that as misguided, it isn't. What about the rights of women who want to go to the bathroom with people who also don't have penises? Screw their feelings, right???
