Only because Trump's supporters were spread out in the right places. Hillary won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes so I would not brag about anything if I were you. That large opposition force that surpasses all Trump supporters will not go away. Comments like yours will only piss them off much more and if Trump fucks it up even people that voted for him will turn on him on a dime. This is not over my Trump supporter. If the Republicans overreach there will be a backlash.

>Hillary won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes And if the Presidential election was based on the popular vote, that would mean something. It doesn't work that way, and everyone knew beforehand it didn't work that way, and everyone involved, most definitely including the Clinton campaign, was happy to praise the Electoral College to the skies when they thought it would tilt the results in their favor. So, as the kids say, let it go. This line does not help you. >That large opposition force that surpasses all Trump supporters will not go away. That's nice, but as long as it's concentrated in a tiny strip along the coasts it will continue to be ineffective. I recommend that instead of attacking the other side you start working on converting them to your side. That's one of the reasons Trump won: he flipped a lot of counties that voted for Obama twice. You can do that right back to him, if you're willing to swallow your pride and talk to people instead of sneering at them. >This is not over my Trump supporter. I voted for Evan McMullin, dude. >If the Republicans overreach there will be a backlash. If only certain people had realized that Democratic overreach could cause backlashes, too, then your party might not be a smoking hole in the ground right now.

  >>So, as the kids say, let it go. This line does not help you. No! I'm the opposition now. My job is to punch Republicans in the mouth every day and then stump on their heads, figuratively speaking of course. >>I voted for Evan McMullin, dude. So you are turning a blind eye. Whatever. I'm an independent and I still voted for Clinton instead of the pussy grabber.

    If your job is to act as a mole for Trump's 2020 reelection campaign, then go ahead and keep doing what you are doing.

      I did not insult the guy so I disagree with you that I was being uncivil. The president elect did say that he likes to grab'em by the pussy [1]. It is the reality of things. Don't be upset about it with me. Go outside and enjoy the weather. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wM248Wo54U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wM248Wo54U
