Were social justice warriors responsible for the election outcome?

So you mean regressive leftists because  that's what they literally are.

Yeah, there needs to be a better word for the leftists who, despite obstensively supporting left-wing causes, have rhetoric and style that seems to come straight out of the far-right's handbook, particularly when they end up using that same logic to reach conclusions identical to the far-right, like this little incident, or Azaelia Banks supporting Trump specifically because he's "evil" (her words, not mine, surprisingly enough) and Hilary Clinton talks down too much to minorities.

It's like some people are too concerned about wolves in sheep's clothing that they have decided they have no choice but to accept the wolf for what it is. Fortunately, they have less power than their alt-right counterpoints, but are probably far more annoying, especially to the more sane leftists.

The term "SJW" (and to a lesser extent, regressive left) has been poisoned far beyond the point of salvagability. There needs to be a term for those sort of Jackasses that, hopefully, the right-wingers won't poison. Sadly, the best thing I can think of is "Reactionary Left," because that actually fits their tone (and to a lesser extent, their content) better.

The note at the end of that HP article tho:

[i]Note to our readers: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S. [/i]
