More people voted against Donald Trump than for him, but sure, this election represents a massive change in popular sentiment in favor of you all. Keep jumping for joy over the most unpopular new president ever representing a cultural watershed.

> According to a latest poll, a majority of Americans support Trump’s clumsy but legal Executive Order of extreme vetting

My understanding is that this largely depends on how you phrase the question AND the distribution of party alignment among the sample.

Consider also:

Why must the supposed "left" attack people for what they think and say ? And I put left between scare quotes because Trump is the one that was talking to union leaders, putting on rhetoric about jobs, prosperity and economic advancement while Hillary was proudly declaring she was getting paid 5 times my yearly wage for 3 hours of work (20 minutes speech, 160 minutes having lunch) by people who repossessed a number of houses by people I know. By the very institution the left professes to hate.

Why can't the left accept everyone ? Let them talk and engage with them ? It's literally their core value, according to the rhetoric. Yes they're wrong, I get that. That should mean we have nothing to fear.

Instead we see violence, and even your reply is nothing more than a threat. People like you are giving me serious pause about being a democrat. I mean, I forgot to vote. But still.

Righteous minority sounds like a good way to describe someone who "was permanently banned from Twitter in July 2016 for what the company cited as "inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others"" (quoting Wikipedia).

It's unclear where the agents provocateurs who threw fireworks in Berkeley came from. But nobody seems to recognize them and they've disappeared.
