SJW Tweet Goes Viral

[Ben]

I think because it encompasses most everything about the "coastal elite" when what is behind the "we care about stuff" mask is exposed. Another million or so votes for Trump in 2020 right here (with again, a good many of them out of spite):

I'd really like to find a place where  that's posted with comments, because I'm pretty sure her "meme" didn't go the way she intended. "The continent of Hawaii".

I'm glad she finally put things in perspective for us:

The new york times apparently trying to cover its ass this election. Because my tweet really matters. Unlike their global coverage.

In case you missed it, her tweet matters, but the world (NY Times global coverage) doesn't matter. Got it.

Annaliese Nielsen? Sure sounds like an ethnic Hawaiian name to me. And she had the nerve to call him rude and an idiot? WOW!

And it appears that she succeeded in getting the driver terminated. Let's hope the grassroots effort to get him re-hired succeeds.

Article indicates he was re-hired, which was a smart move on Lyft's part (to make up for the incredibly dumb move of firing him). There is no way that video shows him doing anything wrong, another (female) passenger backed him up, and apparently, from the article, all Lyft had to do is five minutes of googling to verify this broad is a nutjob.

Edit: Oops, sorry, I misread the headline. He's still fired. He should get a lawyer.

Edit again: It appears he was in fact rehired after the nutjob sent the video to Lyft. They fired him before she sent them her "evidence".

And it appears that she attended college in Hawaii, majoring in women's studies with a specialization in how patriarchal men are the cause of everything bad in the world.

And she's the CEO of a porn studio. (Unless that's the imposter who took over her account when she abandoned it.)

Well, I'm sure the Commandants of the SJW party are well aware of why they lost the Electoral College.  I believe some of them tried to tone down their candidate's rhetoric even before the election.

So now they will do everything in their power to recapture the plains vote.

You may expect to find more politicians and SJWs shooting at gun ranges (twice, even, maybe) or wearing hunting vests and bearing shotguns in pheasant country.  Or spouting the platitude about "I'm a gun owner, but..."

Or maybe even aboard a horsie... mistakenly wearing their Birkenstocks instead of the normal shitkickers.

Why, we may even find the Governor's One-Shot Antelope Hunt reinstituted.*

Look for this kind of crap from the coasties in the next two years just so they can re-image themselves for the rednecks among us.

Why, now that I think about it, some of them may even downplay the fact that they have college degrees.

"Yes, I have a college degree, but..."

* It used to be a big deal that the Governors competed in this.  You don't hear much about that part of it any more.  You'd see news articles about how "Governor so-and-so used his .270 with a Redfield 4X scope on it..":

Everything I've seen shows them going in the opposite direction. If leadership wanted to project change, they wouldn't have put Pelosi back in.

Agreed.  If anything, the Democrats are going further left post-election.

[just Warren]

Let 'em. In fact, encourage it if you can.

When what your enemy is doing isn't working it would be stupid to do anything but encourage them to continue doing it harder and faster.

The amusing part is everything this woman says about small town America actually applies to the urban crap holes she seems to prefer.

They intend to go in both directions. As I understand it, they remain convinced that their position -- their image -- is the only correct vision and direction. At the same time, they now realize that they can't overlook the flyover states, so their focus will be on how to better sell their message (i.e. con) to the rubes, hicks, hillbillies and rednecks. In other words, they're going to double down on their [failed] policies and try to lie more convincingly.

I just hope Trump can get some positive things done.  Otherwise, Republicans will end up looking very bad in 4 years that people might consider voting for people like this again.

And one of the current front runners for DNC chairman is Keith Ellison from Minnesota.

Why was the first response a link to a video of something from last summer, with no relation to the OP?     Does he even internet?

That thing is so full of hubris; projection; derp - where would you even start on that mess? I guess the author thinks that fly-over country is just waiting around, helpless; unable to start businesses or get jobs, until high-minded progressive liberals condescend to leave their coastal Panems, and mingle with us unwashed rubes. Everything else seems to flow from that. Well, that, and her sanctimony.

[Scout26]

Oh, I hope that Liberals remain this condescending the next four years.  I also Hope that Trump is able to implement most of his agenda, and that the country turns around.   (There are already many positive signs.  Like Chrysler has announce that Fiat will be invest $1 billion in the US and add 2,000 jobs). 

Ohpleasepleasepleaseplease....

Well, Meryl Streep apparently decided to help out with our requests for "more please" last night. I've been listening to the snippets where she talks about the persecuted entertainers and MSM and that soon "we will only have football and mixed martial arts to watch". 

The poor, persecuted millionaires. Won't you please feel sorry for them?

I do wish Trump hadn't responded with the Twitter name calling. As President. he shouldn't stoop to her level. He should have handled Streep the same way Pence handled the "Hamilton" actors, which made them look like spoiled children he was patting on the head. Trump really needs two fulltime people to screen his Twitter responses.

[BobR]

That's not nearly enough, I was thinking more like 4 or 5. You need 3 to do the 8 hours shifts around the clock M-F and then the other two can pick up the slack on weekends and holidays or when one of the full-time twitter screeners needs time off.

The more he lashes out on twitter the more childish and idiotic he appears IMO.

I accept your revision. :)

I'm reading some excerpts from Streep's rant, and I keep hearing her Miranda Priestly voice. That new girl better bring her a latte, and fast.

[KD5NRH]

I'm just wondering about those middle-American s___holes of violence, racism and misogyny.  Statistically, they don't appear to be the places she seems to be implying, and the only one that fits the numbers that's close to the middle of the country is Chicago.  (Well, maybe KC KS, too.)
