To all the bleeding heart liberal divisive intolerant leftists:

The bigger point I was poorly expressing is that youth have a tendency to be progressive too. So being a data nit-picker and saying something showing how much more than normal the support for Democrats is would be much more revealing.

There was a bit of commentary over here suggesting that most recent college graduates (particularly white college graduates) have always voted Republican - but this was reversed in this election. Harbinger?

Can't make up my mind if your 80 or 8. Your commentary is often down to schoolyard jibes, and your analysis is woefully one dimensional. Or are you really 8 and don't remember the conservative sturm and drang post Obama's election? Go back and read some of the threads on A2K around that time.

Better a civil protest than a call to arms to assassinate a president.

Stop being a whiny little asshole. I'll allow you a protest when Trump's 'policy' means you're paying tolls on every new bridge and road, and your seniors home can't get any cheap labour to wipe the spittle from your chin.

Happy motoring.

Not sure, these graphs do great to show what white college graduates (but not new grads) shifted towards in recent years.

People's partisan self-identification apparently tends to solidify fairly early in life, at least in the US, according to this famous data visualization:

How Birth Year Influences Political Views

The era people grew up in did a lot to determine their partisan outlook in the rest of their life; and after age 30 (and definitely 40), it generally changed only incrementally.

More deplorable action

"Can't wait until your 'marriage' is overturned by a real president. Gay families = burn in hell. Trump 2016"

Love that graph. Makes sense that partisan identity happens early, yet it seems to weaken over time either way according to my cursory perusal of it.

The "god bless" is a nice touch.

Also: hashtags on pieces of paper? That's a thing now?

Leave it to the intolerant bleeding heart liberal divisive leftist to immediately start the name calling when they don't agree with somebody. You've accused me of being at the school yard level however I never called you any names I never called you a whiny ass hole. I refered to the protesters as such. It's typical of you people on the left being the pot and calling the kettle black.

And you're going to give me permission to protest... now that's rich.

Oh and in case this was lost on you let me make it clear... You lost ...we won. Have a nice day.

Would you argue with a 3 year old? If that is what you think then why waste your time on flinging insults?

Are you trying to be ironic here? Your adjective salad is name calling immediately prior to calling out... name calling.

There's a higher level of discourse that we should aspire to.

I am a left-leaning person. I am very tolerant of other people's views and beliefs. You're entitled to think and believe whatever you want and apply your thoughts and beliefs to your own life. However, I don't tolerate "intolerance".

You just can't control yourself. Do the personal attacks make you feel as though your point is that much more relevant? And you're not American but you seem to be so consumed by our politics? I guess that's what threw me. Apparently what you haven't "twigged" to is that I'm not concerned with Donald Trump. My concern was not electing somebody who would throw my country into a constitutional crisis because she's nothing but a common Criminal who in collusion with and has the backing of the media whose agenda is to be not unbiased reporters of fact but King makers who would do so by manipulation of the low-information voter.

Lastly I find your belief, that mankind can do anything to affect the inevitable climate change (short of all-out nuclear war and even then the Earth would eventually rebound) that has been going on since before man existed, to be incredibly naive.

These are more labels than name-calling... labels I might add that most on the left aspire to. What they are not are personal attacks.

I'll keep that in mind thank you

Don't fool yourself, you are using derogatory labels to be argumentative and acting surprised when your interlocutors do the same.

And so it begins

Trump’s Call to Ban Muslims From U.S. Quietly Scrubbed From Campaign Website After Election

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/11/09/trump_s_call_to_ban_muslims_from_u_s_quietly_scrubbed_from_campaign_website.html

How long before the wall gets scrubbed?

Your ignorance about the US's impact on the world is astounding - but then I guess you think the US is the world. Or that the world doesn't matter because you're not in it.

Do you honestly believe that Hillary Clinton will face a court in the next four years? There's much more chance Trump will (unless he uses the levers of power now at his disposal to squash them - Berlusconi-like).

I never formed an opinion about Trump from any source other than his mouth. Robert's right, there is no point even talking to you - on other threads you've advocated extra-judicial killing - I didn't use the 'sociopath' label as an insult - it's a description based on evidence. So I'll just continue point out your bs till that bulging vein in your forehead pos.

And your last line on climate change. Bejeebus.

You have indeed been manipulated my little low-information voter.

Never mind, Adam Hills summed it up best last night when he said Trump's victory meant we can all go back to feeling superior to Americans. Your prime minister was criticised in the American press for eating a raw onion on the campaign trail. He could eat cold roadkill in a bus shelter and still look more statesmanlike than Trump.
