As I've previously stated, I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump. I do support many of the things he said he would do for America if elected, and now he has been. I understand around half of the voters in the country did not support him, and that's okay. It's been the case with most presidential elections to be within a few percent, or closer. However, in my 66 years on this Earth, I've never seen the degree of resentment that has and is being expressed toward Mr. Trump in any other election, including that of the first black president, which one my expect to be highly controversial given the racial tensions present in our country.
The left has taken it to a whole new level. Yes, they have the right to demonstrate and speak their minds. That's not what concerns me. What does concern me is the violence associated with some of their demonstrations, their insistance that Trump is not their president, and their support by the mainsteam media in these efforts.
Violence is never justified as a means of protest, unless you mean to take it all the way, meaning a revolution. I'm fairly sure the left does not have the balls or the power to go that route. For one thing, the left is generally the anti-gun crowd, while the right is pro-gun. Who's going to win that war?
Defying the president, and the government in general is nothing short of treason. Anyone who refuses to obey the law because they don't like the person or persons in power who have been legally elected should be jailed as traitors.
The media is understandably pissed off because Trump has branded them as biased, liars. But, they brought it upon themselves by unashamedly and obviously ridiculing and picking on Trump in a way they have never done with any other candidate, and this began long before the election. I can't count the number of mainstream "newscasters" who openly laughed and made fun of the whole idea that Trump could even win the nomination, let alone the election. Now, with the egg still all over their faces, they refuse to admit they were wrong, and instead, have decided to aid the onslaught of the whining losers by making Trump their nightly headline and trying to shame him into changing his ways.
They are helped in their endeavor by the left's other major media support, Hollywood. It's long been known that the majority of movie, music, and TV celebrities are liberally oriented, and they've never been averse to using their celebrity status to promote their views, which amounts to free publicity for all things liberal. The degree to which this has escalated in unprecedented.
I'm going to laugh my ass off when some of these smug sons of bitches piss off the wrong people and lose parts and contracts and sponsorships as quickly as Democrats lost votes with Hillary as their candidate. I'm going to applaud like I never have when the minority celebs who lean to the right finally get the nerve (hopefully bolstered by Trump's win) to speak out and give the right some of that free air time to the shock and dismay of their pansy-assed peers.
