In Trump Era, the Mean Streak of the Celebrity Liberal Is Out

They use lame insults and f-bombs to both amuse their fan base and to shut down any attempt at rational debate.

Some examples:

Actress Patti LuPone recently said on live TV on the Tony Awards red carpet that Trump shouldn’t see her show: “Well I hope he doesn’t, because I won’t perform if he does…Because I hate the motherf—er. How’s that?”
CBS talk show host Stephen Colbert: “The only thing [Trump’s] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c*ck holster.”
HBO’s Bill Maher speaking to Gabriel Sherman of New York magazine, used suggestive hand gestures to insinuate that Ivanka performs sex acts on her father.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper to Jeff Lord: “If [Trump] took a dump on your desk, you would defend him.”
Director Joss Whedon: “I want a rhino to f*ck [Paul] Ryan to death with its horn because it’s funny.”
When in 2008 Sandra Bernhard expressed hope that Sarah Palin was “gang raped in NYC by my black brothers.” The Washington Post called it—the left’s favorite word—“edgy”! Now such sentiments are increasing in number and frequency.

It’s not as if these celebrity interventions are effective. Doomed Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff enjoyed support from Samuel L. Jackson, Jane Fonda, George Takei and, of course, Handler. He still lost the Georgia House race. Ossoff even pathetically confessed to MSNBC’ s Nicole Wallace: “Celebrities across the country? That’s not what animates people in Georgia. ”

Furthermore, these guilt-ridden pop-cultural progressive influencers of Western culture obscure the fact that they are part of an obscenely wealthy elite by directing envy and class rage away from themselves and onto anyone seen as promoting conservative values or beliefs.

Those who are untouched by the average person’s reality preach to their audience that walls are wrong, before driving home to their gated communities or guarded mansions. Yet they believe that crass comments and personal insults make them “down with the people”.

Perhaps they’re hoping that if there is a real revolution, the starving masses will burn down their Beverly Hills and Hamptons homes last!

I keep hoping their followers will grow up and see the light; that Handler and Colbert and the others will check their own moral compass, mislaid by all that vile abuse, before prioritizing helping the poor, fighting injustice and making the world a better place.

But it seems that sneering cruel sarcastic variants of President Obama’s 2008 comment that midwest voters “cling to guns or religion” are now the default setting in the battle of ideas.

I’m not sure how we as a society deal with this kind of visceral hatred. But with every Handler rant and every Colbert crudity another brick drops from the wall that holds the center together. When that wall collapses no amount of sneering opinion pieces, foul-mouthed rants or abusive put-downs will be able to fix things.

The final irony is that the mega-rich wanna-be revolutionaries of the cultural-media class love to preach the virtues of positive discrimination but they might soon find out societal chaos is an equal opportunity destroyer of peoples lives.

>people are being mean, waah waah

She was really paraphrasing Mel Gibson's rant about a pick of neegers.

Death to the commies.

Never disturb your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Let the Commies continue to spew their hate and show the world who they are. It 's been working phenomenally so far. People are rating CNN lower than ISIS and they elected Trump.

I would love to see just one of these so-called conservatives actually engage a liberal in a one-on-one debate instead of writing another whiny blog post that they'll never read on some shitty right-wing propaganda website.

>>151127
>HBO’s Bill Maher
Bill Maher isn't even a liberal, this article is full of shit.

>>151499
Debating a liberal is akin to playing chess with a pigeon.
They knock all the pieces down, shit all over the place, and then strut around like they won.

well..

>>151529
Exactly like I was saying, libtard speaking tardish so trump supporters responded in kind.

Thanx for backing me up anon.
;^)

>>151523
>projecting this hard

Give it up.
The minority of voters that put Trump in power are idiots.

>>151539
What about all the socially inept idiots (read sjws)?
Your the one projecting, I'm stating reality.
It was my privilege to show you the light.

>>151540
God you're so fucking dense
I bet your mother wishes she had an abortion instead of you

>>151546
You are good at driving my point anon. I'm being civil and your resorting to insults and slander because your feelings got hurt from the truth, just like the majority of all liberals. Please see my reference here >>151499.

>>151550
>>151546
I meant >>151523 not 151499

>>151329
I agree to this. Let the liberals blow the fucking lines out. Let their audiences dwindle (which all evidence says they are) and let me whine and moan about trump like the diapered children they are. It'll go poorly for them I guarantee it.

>>151550
Your composure is typical of conservatives and his personal attacks are typical of liberals. Let them hang themselves.

When is the last time a communist faggot was beaten to death with his dildo? Maybe it's time.

The big ole meany weenies said some big bad words. Boo hoo.

>left
>liberal
>progressive
The burden of proof is on you when making these idiotic claims, in what way do they represent anything but themselves?
Cause they said so?
Nice divide and conquer attempt, as always

>>151750
Why are liberals so dramatic, noone gives a shit

>>151126
>conservatives suddenly upset that liberals are doing that thing the conservatives have been doing to others without remorse for 8 years straight
When did everybody suddenly develop the need to be butthurt 24/7

>Shills, Shills Everywhere

Its blatantly obvious to me and I don't even like the guy but I'm starting to hate liberals and you people are the reason why. I was looking forward to a serious discussion on this topic from either side but its more the same. You can all go to hell

>>151810
>noone gives a shit
than why this thread?

>>151814
Idk why respond to it

>>151126
buttblasted assclown detected.

>>151821
>buttblasted assclown
rude
Instead you should say rump hurting butty joker it is much more polite.

>>151341
Cuck

>>151126
yeh

>>151126
That this is an overtly biased editorial aside, the takeaway I got was that Trumpers are acting like whiny snowflakes due to their autistic inability to grasp humor.
