Anybody else getting snotty good-behavior demands from Trump people, on Facebook?

I have several, as of today, most of them demanding that we all put on happy faces because we live in such a great country, yadda, yadda, yadda.

My "favorite" is one demanding respectful behavior, with this grammatically-tortured comment:

"Be careful, you are acting in the very hate in which you claim to stand against."

Uhhh, yeah. I intend to be just as nice as conservatives were to Obama during his 8 years. Deal with that, Trumpistas.

His comment about the marchers not voting....well I think the people who didn't vote or many that did not care or didn't think he'd win...they care now.

Something about Barron-- mostly I'm not friends with too many people who would vote for that asshole Trump--a few--, but this guy is a RN I know, a great nurse, but not too smart in many other areas.

I told her that agreeing to disagree is for things like "I don't like coffee" not "I don't like black people" (someone posted that on twitter and I thought it was great so I borrowed it and use it frequently.

She replied we all have to respect each other's opinion, to which someone else jumped in and said "not when those opinions will cause my children harm, we don't".

But yes--you almost never hear anyone but trumpies saying "get over it, move forward".

We are the ones supporting progressive causes that actuallly work to improve people's lives, so really, just what is your problem with our First amendment right to peacefully assemble?

You Are Not Equal. I’m Sorry.
A post is making rounds on social media, in response to the Women’s March on Saturday, January 21, 2017. It starts with “I am not a “disgrace to women” because I don’t support the women’s march. I do not feel I am a “second class citizen” because I am a woman….”
This is my response to that post.
Say Thank You
Say thank you. Say thank you to the women who gave you a voice. Say thank you to the women who were arrested and imprisoned and beaten and gassed for you to have a voice. Say thank you to the women who refused to back down, to the women who fought tirelessly to give you a voice. Say thank you to the women who put their lives on hold, who –lucky for you — did not have “better things to do” than to march and protest and rally for your voice. So you don’t feel like a “second class citizen.” So you get to feel “equal.”
Thank Susan B. Anthony and Alice Paul for your right to vote.
Thank Elizabeth Stanton for your right to work.

thin-skinned, oversensitive snowflakes. Ask them if they need to go back to their safe space. They invented the use of the word as slander, and it happens to fit them well.

The other day I popped back onto the facebook page of a relative I'd put on ignore before the election. She had a bunch of reposted RW stuff still, and one of them was about how "those snowflakes" need to toughen up and live in the real world, like abusing people to make them strong is a favor to them. I wrote a reply, something like "When I was in school I came to understand that bullies are basically much more thin-skinned, insecure and needy than their victims. After that it was fairly easy to use a little psychology on them, and I never had further problems, never had to 'toughen up'. But you can never respect or trust someone like that; all of my friends have always been snowflakes."...then I didn't post it, probably not much point.

And that's something I really doubt will happen.
