    Not for nothing, but what exactly did Trump ever do to offend the gay population? I can kinda understand why Hispanics might think they were offended by him, although imho most of that was overblown due to Trump's clumsy language and professional victims looking for a reason to be upset. But I can't remember him mentioning LBGT stuff much at all, other than saying that Bruce Jenner could use any bathroom he wanted in Trump Tower. Truth be told, most of his supporters would have probably preferred him to take a stand against gay marriage but I don't think he ever did.

    Not that it matters, because the narrative has been set that Trump = Anti-Gay and no amount of facts or logic or reason will change that now.

    Yeah, Trump seemed to side more with the transqueerosexual crowd on the bathroom issue, although I doubt he plans to make any legislative push on the subject and has never mentioned any attempt.

    Daughter from the UK posted some liberal, anti-trump trash Wednesday morning on my timeline.
    Erased each, within within minutes, as they popped up ... the message:
    I gave you the courtesy of not remarking upon your country's politics, you damned well better give me the same courtesy.
    Heard nothing since, but what my grandson's are up to ...

    I avoid and ignore them both on social media and in person. I don't want to hear it. I have made it clear several times not to bring up politics to keep the peace at holidays. If it gets brought up I get up and go. I have lots of friends that are closer to me than most of my family.

    Have the same thing in my family. We just agree on the disagree. And I made it clear that we don't talk politic on family gathering.

    Whatever they post on their social media is non of my business as long as it is not involve me.

    How do I deal with them? I mostly ignore them. That's not as hard as it seems because I completely believe them to be brain damaged (no offense to anyone who has actually suffered an injury and has not become a socialist moron).

    Maybe ask them to explore why they're so afraid? Just keep asking hmmmmmm, tell me more about that...you might get some interesting answers why their so fearful, possibly even conflicting answers. That's the only way to argue with a liberal, let them argue with themselves and just sit back and enjoy the show. :-)

    Hell if you're lucky, they'll even thank you in the end lol

    I ignore them. Generally it is like trying to reason with a rock.

    They support Hitlery and hate Trump. Do they really understand the implications of the Muslim refugees and their lifestyles that Hitlery wants?

    Most of them are absolutely blinded by the MSM and the change that the Liberal mindset will bring. Not worth even trying to reason with.

    Two days ago I was told "it's not racism if a white person is the target". I'm a good talker but I have no response for that.

    I moved up to NE Ohio in 2000. I have a few cousins up that way that I hadn't seen since my grandparents were alive in the early 1970s. It seemed whenever we got together, they were happy to insult my beliefs and values. After one too many times of being told that GWB and the GOP were evil and that Bush was manipulating oil prices so his friends could get rich, I told them I didn't need their crap anymore and walked out of the dinner we were having. Thankfully, a year or two later, I was able to return home to Texas. I haven't spoken to them since and see no reason to do so.

    I think Bill Belichek (spelling) has the right idea. When they start talking liberal BS, just say Seattle every chance you get.

    When they ask why, tell them it is a safe place for liberals and they should move there before they get their feelings hurt.

    My two sisters and I haven't spoken in years and everyone else that may be classified as "Family" is dead. While that may seem awful to some, it does lift the burden of pleasing someone who may be a horrible Liberal from my shoulders!

    My theory is this:
    Human relationships are like the standard distribution bell curve which suggests that if people are randomly plotted on a graph, they will fall into three distinct categories:

    At one end of the curve, 12-15% of the people will love you no matter what you do.
    At the other end of the curve, 12-15% of the people will hate your guts no matter what you do.
    The vast number of subjects in the middle of the curve don't give a flip about you one way or another.

    When someone goes off on you, don't try to patch that rift! Statistically, that person falls into the group who will hate your ass regardless of what you do. F 'em! It's a waste of time to try to get them to like or to agree with you.

    That's how I regard and relate to Liberals. To Hell with them. There's nothing I can or will do to change their minds!

    The reasoning is payback. They feel white men are responsible for every negative since the dawn of time therefore they have the responsibility to insult you. Liberal arts classes indoctrinate them into believing they can outright destroy white men. If not physically at least socially and spiritually. They need to make us feel ashamed of being born straight white men.

    You just can't argue that type of insanity. You have to insulate yourself from it.

    Heard on FOX yesterday morning, some guy said, "we're raising a whole generation of emotional hemophiliacs." [Just thought that was an absolutely "classic" description of the Millennial problem...not ALL Millennials but a goodly percentage]

    This lie has been spreading among liberals since all the anti white sentiment was outed during Furgeson.

    They are basically redefining racism in order to ignore their own hate claiming that racism can't exist unless the group that is being called racist has the ability to effect societal or government change which negatively effects the "oppressed" race.

    Then they claim blacks have no ability to have such effect and therefore can't be racist, no matter how many whites are beaten based on skin color because the attackers are justified via their oppression.

    Just search YouTube and you will find plenty spouting the nonsense and lies.
