This guy is spot on.

I like the part where he points out that most people for Trump kept their mouth shut for fear of reprisal. 

It happened on this forum.

Reprisal?

It's not as if vigilantes were roaming the streets prior to election. But many keep indeed their mouths shut. Maybe because they can't get shot of a last shred of human decency. Maybe because of being ashamed rooting for someone who had run his whole campaign on resentments.

And here? What could possibly happen to them here - other than being called out?

Thanks for making my point.

Video didn't go far enough.

Basic "Politics 101" shit Hillary has been deliberately clueless and disingenuous about for fucking decades.  

Hillary:  Your high negative polling is one of those things they call "clues".

^^^
that's a clue too, anyone think she'd pick up on it even now ?

Amongst her country club friends? I don't think so.

And even people saying they would 'hold their nose and vote for Hillary' weren't quite where I was.

Recall, I was wondering just how fucking high a threshold of disgust I was going to need to get through the election and support Hillary, and I'm the guy that kisses men on their buttholes.

Many others are so fed up with the left, and have sat quietly rolling our eyes at all the weird behavior that people call liberal these days that it all boiled over. It became a joke, and the left couldn't understand why everyone laughs at them because they are in their own little echo chamber bouncing bad ideology off one another like ping pong balls. The safe spaces and stifling free speech, over using the word racist to the point that it lost it's effectiveness etc. The fact the left didn't see this coming shows how really disconnected they are and living in their own fantasy world. Plus everyone was so intent on getting a women in the white house they ignored all her flaws and corruption and accused anyone who questioned her motives as sexist they failed to understand it was the same thing that the majority of people were fed up with Obama through no fault of his own but that any disagreement with his policy was blamed on latent racism. We are done letting the extreme left get emboldened with their authoritarian contrarian views, and going to humble them swiftly.

Oh, -that's- why you voted for a person who promised to do bigoted, racist things?  To humble "the left". Glad you cleared that up.  Guess you're just totally relieved that he's backtracked on every single one of his bigoted, racist promises in the short time since he became president elect.  Must feel like you really dodged a bullet, on that one.
