These are "adults" supposedly. I would have been told to "rub some dirt on it" and work toward changing it if you don't like it. Did anyone ask for these special things when Obama won in 2008? There were plenty of people unhappy with that election but "they were racist" according to the left.
Snowflakes and these are our future. SMH

Sh*t. I hope no one is planning to be warm in hell because, as this is the SECOND time I am in agreement with redwood66 on something political, hell has surely reached Absolute Zero (-273°C).
Well, I agree with part of it anyway. OK, break out the play-doh and kleenex, for now. But then it's time for self-reflection: how the hell did we get here? It wasn't enough to just not vote for someone who fanned those ugly flames. And THEN, the realization that we need to aggressively move to effect change should be kicking us in the butt.
Red, it's a false equivalency to state that these special things weren't asked for when Obama won in 2008. If Cruz, Rubio, Ryan, etc., had won, we "losers" would not be in the state we are now. It wasn't like this when Bush won, or when LePage won (twice) in my own home state. (Trump makes LePage look like a statesman!) If you truly can't see the difference between Obama and Trump beyond their political leanings you are either willfully not paying attention or don't think integrity matters.
I actually voted for Cruz and he won my state in the primary because we could not see Trump as President. In the general election I and my husband voted for Evan McMullin because we still could not vote for Trump. However, I was not comparing the men but the reaction and now subsequent protests and riots. Yes riots destroying property, businesses, and causing physical harm to people.
