We would love nothing more than to not have to deal with Trump, but again, his 5 year campaign of demagoguery is not something you simply let go. There is a huge difference between protecting offensive speech, and political demagoguery. His toxic to the future, and if you care about the rights of minorities such as blacks and LGBT and even atheists, it is a bad idea to sell the idea that his tactic is valid. To ignore that is to tell other politicians using his tactic is ok. It is not ok. Political demagoguery gave us Jim Crow, McCarthyism and WW2 Germany. I am not crying wolf here. I am not simply bitter. I am warning everyone reading this, it is rewarding a very dangerous political tactic and will get worse if it is not stood up to.

If someone thinks 100 people throwing things is an outrage, they are ignoring the conditions that lead to it. Huge difference between an excuse, and an explanation. It is as simple as if you kick someone in the nuts long enough, they react. To reward Trump's behavior is to set a very dangerous tone that can and lead to very bad things.

I didn't say that we shouldn't "deal" with Trump. Nobody needs to explain to me how horrible he is, because I already know. I've been dreading this for a long time now. Being little dickweeds about it is not the right way to go about it though.

I bet if you asked WW2 Jew when Hitler was a no name just starting to make noise, when people first started listening to him, before he became a dictator, I bet those Jews wish more people had been a "dickweed" to Hitler. 

Yes, I am going to be a dick to a dick, because only putting a mirror up to a bully's face is the way to get them to back off. There is a time to be polite, and a time to condemn in strong words. Now is not the time to be polite. Nobody put a gun to his head and forced him to say all the vile things he has over the past 5 years. Do not expect me to play nice with my words with him. 

Yes he is horrible, and like horrible weeds, they grow unless you keep them in check.

I'm suppose we'll soon see but I'm guessing that Trump is more bluster than anything else. We all know that he'll never be able to achieve have the shit he talks about doing. Politicians never do. I'm also guessing that his 'unpredictability' shtick is a deliberate ruse.

If nothing else, I think things are going to get very interesting with this administration...

Sounds like "Why you getting upity Susan B"

"Why you getting upity negro"

"Why you getting uppity fagot"

"Why you getting upity atheist"

A warning, not a tantrum. A tantrum is what Trump has been throwing when called out on his bullshit and has been throwing tantrums even after his win. Don't rightfully use the word "horrible" to rightfully describe him then get angry at me for my rightful reaction to him. The only correct response to a dangerous political demagogue is the strongest condemnation. No not meet him with that, is to set the stage to repeat the horrors of the past.
