The left needs to get it through their skulls that the worst thing we can do is treat the pro-Trump side with respect- to listen to their complaints and positions as if they were just another valid viewpoint...

They DON'T HAVE a viewpoint, much less a valid one. Doing anything that gives their nihilistic 'philosophy' an illusion of respectability is suicidal.

They cannot be reasoned with... If we argue that their social policies are draconian and regressive and present data to back that up, they respond with "Your guy has engaged in a lifelong plot to cover up the fact that he was secretly born in Kenya and sympathizes with terrorists"

If we point out that being the host of a reality TV show really isnt preparation for being President, they respond with "Well Hillary is running a pedophile sex ring out of a pizza parlor!"
In the face of this, what is 'fair'? What is 'over the top'? Fuck 'manners'!
These people cannot be reasoned with, the people that pick the same side as these monsters cannot be reasoned with- whatever positions the left adopts, these cretins will violently oppose it.
Rob and TB aligned themselves with this insanity, this madness- they defend it... so they own it- they may share that guilt with millions of others, but it does not mitigate their guilt... They chose to be the enemies of decency, of democracy, of reason... and humanity- they should be treated as such.

You can have honest debate with people that have different values than yourself, but not with people that have no values at all.

And this debate isn't just about economic policy, or what constitutes fair trade, or is abortion something that should be legal... this is about the future of human civilization... it is about how we navigate the incredible hardships that are coming in a way that minimizes the damage... The trials that we face in the coming years can only be understood with facts and science, can only be mitigated with science ... and this willfully moronic minority elected a president that declares war on science and reason. They close their eyes and cover their ears and assert loudly there is no problem to begin with.

I am 45- so probably in my lifetime I will live to witness the start of global catastrophe as growing areas of the planet become uninhabitable:

The refugee crisis we see now? It is a drop in the ocean of what is to come... thanks to the criminal behavior of those that people like Rob and TB work so hard to enable and defend.

So no, I will not be polite to those that giggle while slitting the throats of billions, I won't be respectful to those that are determined to drive us all off a cliff, I won't pretend they have a valid viewpoint while they act to destroy their future and mine. I will treat them as the insane psychopathic imbeciles they are... I hope they burn in the hell that they are so intent on creating for others.
