Were social justice warriors responsible for the election outcome?

Y'know, the most frustrating thing about the SJW's or the regressive left or whatever you want to call those complete assholes.... I agree with so many of their causes. But, at the same time, I can completely understand why people loath them.

For example, I support gender equality and I think there are some serious issues with a huge gender imbalance in positions of political or financial power. But when I hear feminists taking pride in being a misandrist or bragging about causing male tears, even I want to tell them to shut up, get in the kitchen and make me a goddamn sandwich. I support black people and I think there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with so many of them being killed, needlessly, by police. But when I hear that my opinions don't matter because I'm white, I want to go put a confederate flag on the back of a pick up truck. Nobody is going to consider transgender issues as personal an issue as me, but when some 15 year old bitches me out because he made up a new gender identity last week and everybody doesn't automatically pick it up, well, then even I want to call them a degenerate faggot. They generally have good issues, but they're such jerks when they talk about them. That's what's killing them.

And I can't help but wonder, how many people were sitting on the fence about those issues and the assholes pushed them solidly into Trump territory? I mean, you can't shame people into agreeing with you. Seriously, has anyone here decided to stop being an atheist because the world told us not to? And how well does it work out when someone decides not to be gay because it's shameful? Trying to shame them will just turn them against you.

But being able to have conversations is the important thing and a lot of lefties don't seem to be able to do it. I mean, the right are jerks about their conversations, but at least they're willing to talk. The left just gives condescending lectures.
