I can’t do this any more

ree

I have a separate Twitter account just to watch lefties. I have this carefully curated follow list of the most egregious SJWs I could find. It’s always good for a laugh.

WAS always good for a laugh. This is The Week Twitter Stopped Being Funny. The amount of howling crazy out there is terrifying.

Clinically dangerous levels of crazy. I can’t take it. I’m shutting down social media for a while.

Not that this will entirely protect me. I’ve met a few deranged buggers in real life, too.

You?

So I’m guessing you’ve noted that the lefty Twitsters have now officially sanctioned political violence? They have the imprimatur of no less than The Nation and the NYT.

Not. Going. To. End. Well.

But then, progressives have never been very good at thinking things through. Lots and lots of good little Stalinists found themselves on the wrong end of a purge, or sent to the Gulag.

My elder sister and her husband. Never had a real job in their lives. Lifelong university: undergrad; grad; research assistant; assistant lecturer; tenure. Their elder son and wife. Working for the civil service in Canberra. Flamin’ libtards all, though I love them dearly.

We don’t discuss politics.

@Steve, you’re spot on…it will not end well in large part because the left has no end game. Now ex-President Faily McFailster, who lasted a whole ten days out of the limelight…is “enheartened by the engagement in the streets”.

Enheartened this.

Stoatie; I never joined FB, but enjoyed Twitter. I deactivated my account when the batshit crazy left arrived en mass. They truly are whipping themselves into mass hysteria/psychosis that will only end when people die, just as it did after Kent State.

They need to block these lefty mobs at airports. Too disrupting to travel and normal people just trying to walk without being assaulted.

If someone blocks me, my natural reaction is to lash out. There was a great video of anarchy thugs blocking people inauguration day. One of the thugs hit a guy who punched her in the face. Then all the thugs whined that he hit a woman and he punched her in the face again. One, she had a bandana on and you cdnt tell her sex. Both times he struck her, was in response to the lady thug striking him first.

I’m amazed at the DAILY protests-du-jour! Where did this crazy subset of society come from? Back in the glorious days of Chairman Obama, I certainly don’t remember a faction that was out there with traffic-blocking, brick-throwing protests at his every move. (Although some of us certainly felt like most of his moves were folly.)

It must be nice to have no visible means of support, and spend your days figuring out what to throw a tantrum over! (Actually it sounds horrible! Don’t sign me up!) Maybe they’ll kick-and-scream themselves weary – we’re only a week into at least 4 years of Trumpmania!

I deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts a while back…those companies sicken me.

The lefties are still in shock and denial as to how Trump got elected…their lack of awareness is baffling.

There needs to be a website with a simple link…something like http://howyougottrump.com that has a list of all the reasons Trump was elected :+) …send the lefties there and watch them cry.

Yeah, The TV news, Twatter, Faceborg…it’s like a shitstorm of crazy.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Douglas Adams’ books on tape in the car lately instead of talk radio. His universe makes more sense right now. Been years since I read the books, god I love the way that man could play with words.

I have a sister and brother-in-law like Timbo’s. They are retired English professors and incomprehensibly crude and vulgar. My sister probably wrote the copy for Ashley Judd’s recent diatribe. I never had a Facebook account because I knew refusing to “friend” my sister would burn down the town, but I couldn’t let her insult and abuse my real friends either.

It’s mob rule, they’ve all got on the train to Crazyville. None of them reading any sort of explanations, you can’t show them truth and have them accept it. And it’s friends, that’s the horrid bit, people I actually know and care about. I thought once the election was over we could just all gone on with our life. Being cussed out by a friend of over 50 years just blew me away and terrifies me. Where is this going to end? BTW, stocking up on ammo.

They passed sanity the week before the election when it looked as if Trump actually had a chance.
The left had the choice of accepting it or banging their sippy cups on their high chairs.
You’re right, they’re getting a lot more scary than funny.

I shut down a long time ago, not even sure what year it was. Aught six, I think it was. Turned everything off. Slowly got back on the ‘net until even carefully screened web pages shut me down again.

I can laugh about it now.

You, Ms Weasel, are a gift from God. Don’t let the buggers get you down.

There was an anti Trump demo in Brighton and someone tweeted that it looked like they might really be able to get rid of this guy [Trump]. They really think they have that power. LOL

Try living in a deep blue city in a deep blue state. The crazy permeates every thing here. I’m just back from a month of sitting on white sand beaches and drinking many adult beverages. Trump signs everywhere and casual conversations with strangers all resulted in the same “thank God he won” ending. My Facebook page has once again become serene as I took drastic action following the march of screaming harpies in DC a couple of weekends ago. That weekend, most of my liberal friends and co-workers posted pictures of themselves marching in their pink hats along with pictures of their genitalia…I kid you not. I lost it with that shit and blocked them all. I have 3.5 more years to spend in the northern climes with teh crazy and then I shall return home to the genteel manners of the south, where we no better than to post pictures of our crotches.

Did you see the photo of the TX judge in court, on the bench, with her pink pussy hat? Yikes! I’ve never heard of such a thing. I did have an LA judge go on and on election day in 2008 how it was time to make history. Made me ill…

All I know, is I’m loving it.
Like baiting feral hogs to a corn feeder so they can be the, uh, guest du jour at a buried porker roast.

And that judge – Travis County (Home of the People’s Republic of Austin).
She’s elected. No danger of her losing her job there.

Just let her try that crap in a red county.

Not deleting my FB and Twitter accounts, but cutting way back on time spent on them and only making non-political posts.

Had a couple who were friends of a daughter in college, and who got married after college, post recently on Facebook that all who voted for Trump need to be taken into a field and shot. Note that they have in the past been guests in my house. My response was to note that I do not forget those who threaten me, my family, or my friends. And that memory will govern my conduct in any further encounters with them.

A long time ago, I created a term [over at Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler], TWANLOC, that has turned up in some dictionaries. Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen. We have tried the peaceful way of resolving things, and it seems not to have succeeded.

One good thing about all the lefty hysteria, I’ve blocked a lot of people and pages full of idiocy. Too bad it all seems to multiply.

One of the charter members of my fiction writing critique group, once a reasonably sane-presenting woman (if a trifle sour in the humor department), went ballistic this past August or September and chose to take a sabbatical from the group. She knew, I think, that none of us were Cankles supporters. She once defended HC as “the most competent candidate,” to which I pointed out mildly that Hillary isn’t even a competent criminal: She keeps getting suspected! She’s dodged prosecution, yes, but the suspicion keeps coming back. Not a good trait for a crook.

Anyway, several other members agree this former member seems to have gone la-la on the topic of Trump. She elected not to return to the group after Nov. 8 — which probably is easier on all of us. (It’s a shame; she liked my writing and often had important useful insights.)

I’ve cut way, WAY back on Fakebook access; never was all that much for it to begin with, and anytime I go there tends to produce annoying amounts of spamming into my primary (longest-term) e-mail account. I’ve never been interested in doing Twit, or Tweedle, or whatever-it-is, so no problem there. I’m on GAB, but haven’t done much with it yet – it’s extremely easy on there to block off the offensive crap, though, so there’s that…

You really want to carefully limit what sort of personal info you’ve got on sites like that, in any event – there’s a lot of potential identity-thieves and other sorts of uglies hanging ’round…you don’t want to give them any way to get over on you.

Besides – there’s all sorts of aggravations in this life…why do anything that may add more?

Kinda sad, maybe – but true, nonetheless…
