Liberals are not the special snowflakes in this climate zone
I find it absolutely hilarious that so many Trump supporters go ahead and boycott companies when they hear the CEO of that company is liberal and does not support Trump. I really want to know what they think their "boycott" will do in the end.Starbucks promises to hire refugees that make it into the country and need work - a perfectly nice thing to do and not harming anyone - and trump supporters loose their fucking minds, screaming about how they'll never buy coffee there again... Take that Starbucks! You just lost my patronage of $4.25 once a week or so. Burn!
Sophie Turner from GOT makes a twitter reply and a post showing her contempt for our new "so called" president, and the comment section of a news article on it is amazing. All these people saying they don't watch GOT, don't know who she is, and don't care since she's obviously a stupid robot bitch. Firstly, why the hell did they follow the clickbait if they don't know who she is and don't care? Second, does having a different opinion - i.e. disliking Trump - now automatically mean that you become a stupid robot bitch? Where is the logic in that? They're the ones (conservatives) who whine constantly about how people aren't respecting them for their vote in the election, how their "opinion" isn't being listened to, how their "freedom of speech" is under attack. And yet they say rude and degrading comments about an actress they apparently know nothing about, criticizing her "bleached blonde hair" (regardless of the fact that you can see it's natural) and her looks and acting ability (remember, they don't know who she is or never watch GOT), just to say that her particular opinion is wrong.
It's even more interesting when they say they used to watch GOT, but now - because a single actor on the show publicly disparaged their great ruler - they will no longer support HBO and refuse to watch the final season. Really? Your feelings are so fragile that you can't stand to watch an amazing actress for even a couple scenes, because she didn't agree with your fucked-up opinion about our new demagogue?
It's entertaining and disgusting when you realize these are the same people talking about how liberals feelings are getting hurt so easily and they're so pathetic because they're marching in the streets. Apparently, our freedom of speech right to protest shouldn't be allowed, but everyone should agree that Trump is amazing, or get out of the country. That's not how democracy works. True, it may not be a democracy much longer, but while we've still got it us liberals are not hanging around the comment sections of obscure news articles arguing about an actress's twitter feed... No, we're out there marching in the streets, not curling up on a couch and crying because people don't like the way we voted. We are engaging in politics, trying to keep our representatives honest, trying to ensure that we don't become an autocracy guided by a narcissistic lunatic. We are out there DOING things. Calling our state representatives, talking to people around us, trying to engage Trump supporters in conversation about how Trump won an insane election year. We liberals aren't the special snowflakes here... Trump supporters are.
Or, if we are the special snowflakes they like to claim, watch out... With climate change and the snow being dumped on the U.S. right now we'll totally be your snowflakes. So many of them we'll cause your house's roof to collapse under the sheer weight of our numbers...
