    Sometimes its hard to resist low hanging fruit like this

    There still is a difference though. Republicans are not flipping out the way the left did. don't pretend its the same...i agree, republicans did some jerky gloating, I did a little myself, but we are not giving as much low hanging fruit to work with

    If they stopped insulting, smearing, calling people racists, white supremacists, misogynists ... they'd really have nothing. They'd have to campaign on Green new scam, cancel culture, ban on fracking, gun confiscation etc.... nah... why would they doom themselves to disastrous defeats with this nonsense when they can continue insulting.

    If you think that someone saying a meanie-head thing to you is "fascism," then no, you don't remotely understand what the word means.

    You're right. They are flipping out way, way worse and the flipping out goes all of the way up to the White House.

    Yes, we got rid of Trump sorta kinda….but he keeps whining about how he hates voting because it forced him out of office...

    ...........can't he just be done with it and concede like an adult?


    """Why are Democrats/liberals being so insulting?"""

    Why did Trump spend 4 years insulting everyone and anyone who dared to disagree with him?

    Did you hold your ears when he spoke ???

    Right, but the Left did that prior to Trump spreading rumors of widespread voter fraud so your claim that the Left is acting like Trump makes no sense. Chronologically speaking.
    You really should talk to liberals about this lack of using turning signals.

    Looks like you are confusing Trump supporters with Trump himself. How many news reports of mad Trumpers helping themselves to free electronics? How many buildings did they set on fire? how many people did they beat up in the street for wearing a biden-harris hat?
    Enlighten me

    maybe it's the righties being insulting and the left is just responding - republicans can always dish it out, but they can't take it

    If you think death threats, etc. are better, feel free to believe so. Meanwhile, we've seen tons of Trump supporters acting just as badly as Trump. Bannon was talking about putting heads on spikes, we've had Trump supporters talk about putting bullets in the heads of Biden voters, etc. Hell, we've literally had people on this forum call for martial law and saying Trump should break any law he needs to to stay in power.

    You can't excuse current dickheadedness by referencing past dickheadedness. Otherwise we might as well say minorities are justified in burning cities down because they've been mistreated.

    You really want to go that route?

    Common they got Joe Biden how happy do you expect them to be. At best you'll have a student loan forgiveness program which they'll overpay a third party contractor to manage. Maybe some kind of green energy bill which will consist of writing checks maybe health insurance subsidies to insurance companies. No progress just good old democratic party corporate handouts disguised as social programs. Whoopie. The game is the only thing America has to look forward to when it comes to government. Victory gloating is the only reward for either side

    Trump is an accurate reflection of the average American in both parties. I wish that wasn't the case. Americans lack the willingness to have respectful discussions with those with opposing beliefs. For the most part, both want the same things.

    Funny you still support him...

    Couldn’t agree more that Americans have lost the ability to have respectful discussions with those with opposing views. I have no problem with someone who has an opposing view on an issue. What I do take exception with is when they try to force their view onto everyone else. Or make claims that aren’t substantiated with actual proof. I actually prefer a world where not everyone thinks the same exact way. How boring life would be.

    due to the policies he advanced, not due to his personality and personal traits.

    And I've never excused Trumps dreadful character and personality.

    Well said with the exception of loss of ability. Everyone has the ability to show respect, most are not willing. I have 5 kids that span the entire political spectrum. Agreeing should never be a condition of love and respect.

    You mean when a major corporation does this?:

    Or this:
    upload_2020-11-12_14-54-56.png

    There are innumerable examples of leftist authoritarians force feeding America their propaganda. It is everywhere. We are marinating in their madness. It is completely inescapable.

    I am looking forward to you taking exception to it.

    You sound like an angry child on the playground. America isn't remotely destroyed. The pendulum swings back and forth as far as political power goes. In 4 or 8 years it will probably go to a conservative again. Whatever happens, America is not destroyed, and hopefully won't be in our lifetimes. Your hyperbolic child like ranting doesn't help fix anything.

    I would say that the liberals on PoFo actually have been pretty well behaved since the election. There was very little gloating, just relief that Trump is gone.

    That doesn't prevent one, however, from highlighting the tantrum that Trump is throwing in the WH since losing the election.

    BTW: There are Trump fans on here who suggest that Trump should declare martial law to stay in office for another year, or that the election should be redone. How respectful should one be to posters like that?

    Really?
    I haven’t heard of people who wear Biden’s merchandise being assaulted in broad daylight.

    Wrong word choice on my part as I agree we ALL have the ability to show respect.

    I should have been more clear. By “forcing their views onto everyone else” I was thinking in regards to doing it through enforcing it through laws/overturning existing laws. For example, I don’t want anti-gun people trying to ban guns or certain guns. Just as I don’t want anti-choice people trying to take away a woman’s right to choose.
    I couldn’t give two craps if someone who is a man thinks he’s a woman. I couldn’t give two craps if some overpaid athlete wants to kneel. As long as it’s not being legislated then go nuts. But as soon as someone wants to take something away from us, then I have a problem.

    I didn’t know people actually wore Biden merchandise. I live in one of the bluest states and have yet to see anyone wearing such crap.
