I don't recall that at all.

Misogyny, abuse, vilification from ALL of the left?

You're making it up I think.
Perhaps you could call up some of your posts at the time Chief? As I recall it was only me and KissStephanie who were supporting Hillary and the same vilification and abuse being directed at her was also directed at us. For months. Everybody else had prostrated themselves before the great O.
Well now we have the result.

Abbott, Abetz are making Trumpian calls for political elites to listen to people.
Abbott & Abetz hahahahahaha.
Thats a friday funny if Ive ever heard one.:)
But neither understand that part of the appeal isn't just abandoning political correctness, but also abandoning the political establishment, something both are very much part of.

Is there a single thread on these boards where you don't swing in, hurl abuse, and then play the victim?

This is looking more and more like a 3rd Bush Presidency.

Trump will have to mount the platform to abuse blacks, women, gays and political correctness to keep his base happy, while Wall st and the defense industry looks after policy.
I find it ironic how you are against misogyny yet you have a profile picture of a serial woman basher...

Make the FLOTUS Beautiful Again!

First immigrant FLOTUS since 1825, diversity will be our strength.
Why is she photographed in front of an old USA flag?

Whilst I can only see part of the flag the configuration of the stars suggests that the flag was from the period between when Arizona was made a state and Hawaii. Is Trump wanting to go back to 1958 policies?

Totally disagree. To abandon political correctness is to abandon pandering to whinging of groups.
The "whinging of groups" happens when we're stuck somewhere between being politically correct and being violently opposed to it. Embrace it completely and everyone benefits.

I do love how people confuse political correctness with basic decency

What they're really going for is their right to be immoral assholes, and that's exactly the government US will get
Good post

I remember once there was a bf thread that started as a rally against pc, but it was hijacked by a couple of posters who wanted to fight for their right to use the n word (they thought it was unfair rappers could use it and they couldnt)

As the cliche goes, we should try to treat others the way we would hope they treat us - no more no less

John Howard is comfortable and relaxed about this post

Well it's 60 year old adolescents, which is why Trump is their perfect candidate
Ive made a commitment to my non gender defined co-religionist life partner.

If I turn 60 and am as hateful and scared shitless of everything like these Trump mutants are, she/he can put a bullet in my head.

that is a fair description of Singapore.

Have you been there? I mean the streets are clean and the trains run on time but its certainly not my idea of a desirable State.

Political discourse is frowned upon, speech is policed, and it is extremely stratified whereby most of the middle class have a live-in Philipino housekeeper and all the blue collar jobs are performed by temporary 3rd world immigrants. Car Registration cost circa $100k.
Have been there a few times, but never lived there, nor have friends who live there, so I couldn't provide much of an informed opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, but I always considered Singapore a watered down democracy of sorts, having some electorate accountability, despite being a one-party system. From the outside, most Singaporeans seem pretty happy from what I've garnered and it's a safe and prosperous enough country. Certainly not the worst place to be from my experience. One thing that deviates from my post however, is in regards to minimal government intervention in daily life.

I don't see the car rego cost as relevant though. Surely this is more about the size of the place and population than it is the political system? Shanghai has a similar situation for example, where buying the plates can cost more than the car.

Groups of people who have traditionally copped it, women, gays, and people of colour. If you want to return to the white bread, bland world of the 1970s then fine, let's abandon political correctness.

Embracing it completely means that some minority groups then have to stop playing the victim and start working towards a solution, along with accept the truth, not picking and choosing statistics that suit their argument.
