Lefitst bullies defeated
“Xenophobe!” “Sexist!” “Racist!” “Misogynist!” “Homophobe!” “Stupid!” “Uneducated!” “Deplorable!” Sounds like a duck. Looks like a duck. Acts like a duck. Yes, those are the words, the denigrating name calling, of a schoolyard bully. This is also the left’s argument of the past eight years; call anybody that disagrees with you names, intimidate and bully them into silence.
American voters, through a legitimate and fair election, rejected the bully. We said, “Enough. You’ve had your chance. You are in time-out.”
Maybe given enough time you will realize you are not the only person that matters, that you must respect the other half of the population who work hard for a living, pay taxes and just want to raise families free from a government-imposed view of progressives. It has been anything but progressive for most people I know.
When we hear that you are done throwing your tantrum, see you are playing nicely with other children and hear a tone of respect in your voice, maybe then you can come back and join the adults at the table.
Mr. President-elect, you’ve seen how we deal with a child that gets out of hand, so “mind your P’s and Q’s, young man.”
