I wasn't referring to that post.
I think if someone is going to be calling people a tard (even if it's an acronym) one should probably have flawless posts, least they be called a tard themself.
I wonder if there are truly any flawless posts of any length because of spell check and fat fingers. I really don't care if the post is full of mistakes, as long as I can read it and understand it its all good. I see no use in picking and poking at someone because they made errors in grammar. It serves no purpose IMO, well other than it making one person feel smarter about themselves.
Now you get it, Gunnar.
People haven't been calling other people racists for not liking/supporting Hillary Clinton all during this election cycle, as you originally claimed.
Instead, as I originally responded, some people have been calling other people racists for liking/supporting Donald Trump (regardless as to whether the presumed racists like Hillary Clinton or not). That's because some people believe Trump is a racist, and thus his supporters are too.
You're right. It's really not difficult to grasp the difference and it's encouraging to see you've now succeeded in doing so. Gold star.

I'm kidding, of course. Other people's grammar and spelling mistakes don't bother me either, so long as the meaning is decipherable. If it's not decipherable, I'll just ask for clarification if I'm interested.

As you can tell, English was a very difficult subject for me when I was in school [and even to this day]. As I type things out I am constantly asking my Ol how to spell this or that. As she does this for me I am constantly reminded just how fucked up our language is. I mean, come on, how many ways of spelling certain words do we need? How many times does our language break its own rules?
You can always tell when she is busy and cant help me because my post looks like a 3
rd grader had written it.
I guess at least I don't type like these kids text these days. What U doin? K. I aked him... Shit like that.
I think being a grammar nazi and commenting on errors is lame but when I saw TARD I was moved to do so.
Just saw this on line this morning.
All is not lost for Hillary lovers.
On December 19th, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots.
If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald wins.
However, they can vote for Hillary if they choose, even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted.
So again, it Ain't over till it's over, or until the fat lady sings, which occurs first!
I read that the electoral college has never voted against the grain. So if they do go HRC instead of Trump it will be a first. You can bet if that happens all hell will break loose and the Rigged acusations will start flying again.

Actually, if that were to happen, then the riots would be all over the sates with Trump supporter's.
They have already told us what they will do if Trump were to lose. Believe them.

If it hadn't ben for this shit show that the HRC supporters have ben putting on , I would disagree with you. However after a week of protesting/riots I now believe that if the Electoral college goes the other way the Trump army will lock and load. After all what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
It's not going to happen. Trump's victory is legitimate and secured under our current Constitutional voting system.
However, it's false that all of the protesters are Hillary supporters. There are a lot of people who are protesting specifically against proposals made by Trump during the campaign cycle; they're not all motivated by the same issues.
Many are Independents who did not support Hillary Clinton and some are liberals protesting against what they see as the Democratic Party's gross negligence in losing to a candidate like Trump.
There are also Anarchists among the protesters, along with pro-Trump counter-protesters.
I've been reading and listening to interviews and spontaneous statements by protesters across the country. It's a really mixed bag.

I think that some people don't have a full understanding of just how frightened a large part of our society is.
I'm not scared but I am very concerned about some things. I don't trust Trump with our economy, he's a shit businessman, I don't like all this pro-life bullshit either in regards to justices. Don't start fuckin' with people's rights just because you don't agree with how they choose to live their life.
If you think Trump supporters wouldn't have taken to the streets if Hillary had won, you are dead wrong.
I have ben trying to ignore it, HotD. It was interesting at first but got old real quick. About the only thing I have seen the last 2 days is what pops up on my FB feed. Pics of rows of busses in Chicago that are reported to be full of paid protestors. I am trying to ignore it as best as I can.

Your crystal ball must be clearer than mine, Duch. I just don't see it.

I understand. I want to hear what people across the country are thinking and feeling, but that's an individual choice.

Some hard-core Trump supporters (individual and sovereign citizen groups) declared that they would take to the streets in armed protest if Trump lost. Because, they said, a Trump loss would mean a rigged system, just as Donald Trump insisted all during the campaign cycle.
The 3 Percenters were among those preparing to protest. Sheriff Joe called for Trump supporters in Arizona to bust out the pitchfork and torches and got loud cheers. Individual Trump supporters interviewed by mainstream media and posting on social media declared their intentions to protest if Trump lost. It's illogical, in my opinion, to believe that all those Trump supporters are liars.
This was not an election between two candidates from different parties who pivoted towards the center as election day neared, as is usually the case. And, it was a historically negative and inflammatory campaign cycle.
Given those facts and circumstances, it doesn't take a crystal ball for me to feel confident in agreeing that there would have been protests in the streets no matter which party/candidate won.
^ Correction: It was prominent Trump surrogate Sheriff David Clarke from Wisconsin who used the pitchfork and torches line to encourage Trump supporters to protest the rigged system.
I just really love the irony of protesting/rioting in all the Blue cities around the country.
Hey Dipshits, your fellow white people in places like California, Oregon, Chicago, etc, all voted against Trump!
Go make a statemnt and start walking through rural America with your grievances.
It'll get real interesting then.

Protestors don't want to walk for 3-5 miles before they get to the next farmstead, MS. Plus the country is a scary place filled with wild creatures and farmers with guns that wont be intimidated. Protestors just want to puff their chest and say look at me, I am mad, I don't like it.
That makes no sense, MS.
Why would people travel away from home to protest national issues or a national politician when freedom of assembly/speech is equally guaranteed everywhere in the country?
If I didn't know you better, it would sure read like you're fantasizing about urban vs. rural physical confrontations instead of protests. But, I do know you better, I think.
