46 thoughts on “Classes Being Canceled Because Trump Won”

  1. I saw “Trump elected: school closing.”

    You mean Trump University was still in business? (bah-doom boom!)

  2. If I can dream they’d revoke these snowflakes’ citizenship and deport them after the wall was built. I’d rather have the illegals.

    1. If I were young and in these classes, I’d be tempted to print up sheets saying “I, _________, renounce my citizenship in the United States of America. Date. Signature. Place for Notary” And then wander around the school getting signatures from students and teachers. “This will show them!”

      And, on the point of the illegals, this is my main sticking point: You have to ask “Do you intend to become a US Citizen? Do you swear allegiance to the US? Do you renounce your allegiance to your homeland?” That, and fingerprints, and half the insanity goes away because the answers to the key questions were obtained in advance.

  3. I sincerely hope that we don’t get into a World War situation. Having to rely on the Snowflake Generation to defend us is not a recipe for gaining the inevitable triumph, so help me God!

    1. C’mon people.

      On the campus of a major Midwestern public university, I see many men and women in uniform. They are earnest people who throw themselves into very rigorous courses and areas of study. They take the dangerous world that we live in very seriously.

      1. Those in the military make up a very tiny percentage of the Snowflake Generation. IMO, they’re the best of that generation.

      2. Can’t be too hard on these kids. They are a product of the education system. We should be upset with the people who run the education system.

        How do we reach these kids as they get older? How can they be deprogrammed?

        1. “How do we reach these kids as they get older? How can they be deprogrammed?”

          By making them face the hard facts of life and not having government step in and save them whenever the slightest inconvenience strikes.,

  4. It’s too early for these infants to start working on Trump’s reelection campaign.

    They really should take break.

  5. These safe spaces and emotional support services are supposed to be available to everyone but who thinks these colleges would have done this for Trump supporters had Hillary won?

    It would have been celebration and bullying.

    It really is one set of rules and privileges for Democrats and non-Democrats.

  6. I didn’t vote for the guy and I have every reason to believe he’ll suck at the job he just won. On the other hand, I’m also sure we will survive the Trump years as well as we’ve survived other assholes who stumbled into the job. The system is designed to mitigate the destructive power of even the most determined moron who thinks governing is done with just a phone and a pen. It’s time some folks just grew the fuck up.

    1. I voted for him, my wife voted for him, as well as just about everyone I know. By defeating the combined forces of Mordor he has proven himself to be far more intelligent than detractors like you give him credit.

      Rand accused me of being like Pauline Kael many months ago. He was too immersed in his NeverTrump world. You are is the same place. Maybe you ought to look in the mirror when telling some to grow up.

      1. Growing up means a lot of things, some of which have no end point. Taking responsibility and gaining wisdom for example.

        That mirror is one of the most important elements.

      2. I voted for him too, but I don’t think he won so much as Clinton lost. Anthony Wiener, Wikileaks, and Obamacare open enrollment had a lot to do with the last minute decline in her support. Fewer people voted in this election than any since 2000. Trump actually got fewer votes than Romney or McCain. Two profoundly unpopular candidates were nominated and somebody had to lose. If the Democrats had nominated a marginally acceptable candidate, or the Republicans a competent one, that person would have won in a landslide.

        1. Trump actually got fewer votes than Romney or McCain.

          As absentee ballot are counted and vote totals are updated, Mr. Trump’s popular vote (60,265,858 per the AP on Nov. 12), has passed that of Mr. McCain (59,948,323).

          Ms. Clinton’s (60,839,922) has closed in on Mr. Romney’s (60,933,504).

          1. Those numbers also show that more people turned out for Romney than McCain. People are still pushing the myth that people didn’t turn out for Romney.

            Trump, Romney, McCain, and Hillary all got less than Bush did in 2004 though. (62,040,610)

            None of them were able to motivate the mass of people who do not vote like Obama did. There are still about 45% of the eligible voters that can be convinced to engage in politics.

            Also of note, Hillary didn’t come anywhere near to Obama in fundraising. Maybe the Clinton Foundation was cannibalizing her political machine. This list looks about the same as it does every year, http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php#

      3. “He was too immersed in his NeverTrump world.”

        No, he was opposed to Trump becoming the Republican candidate on character grounds.

        And everything we know about Trump’s character comes either from his book or from the media. The same media that makes out every Republican candidate since World War 2 to be “literally Hitler”. The same media that voted well over 90% for Hillary, coordinated with her campaign, passed her debate questions, and even went so far as to renounce all objectivity (New York Times).

        And as it turns out, even with all the major networks, major big city newspapers, the polling firms, the freaking GOP establishment bigwigs, and almost all of Hollywood pulling for Hillary, they still lost.

        Fewer and fewer people care what the legacy media has to say, and it showed. NeverTrump was probably the last time they can do it, too, because nobody’s watching them anymore.

        1. Ed,
          What I was trying to say was that his NeverTrumpism blinded him to what was going on. I wasn’t pro-Trump but I was certainly anti-Clinton. That is what the people around me felt as well. I understand Rands reasons for being NeverTrump…no issues with that, but the froth got in his eyes so he couldn’t see how many others were leaning.
          Maybe I shouldn’t say NeverTrump since he did come around some, believing Trump could be impeached whereas Clinton probably could not. Again, I have no issues with how Rand feels about Trump just pointing out how we can be blinded by emotion. Chris L is on that same path…Trump is a lot of things but stupid isn’t one of them.

          1. Actually I’m not that emotional ab out the whole thing. Trump may surprise me and turn out to be not that bad. Even if he doesn’t though, things will still be ok. My point is that talking as if the election is the beginning of the zombie apocalypse is just plain infantile. Presidents come and go, life goes on, deal with it.

          2. I understand Rands reasons for being NeverTrump…no issues with that, but the froth got in his eyes so he couldn’t see how many others were leaning.

            I didn’t miss that at all.

            Maybe I shouldn’t say NeverTrump since he did come around some, believing Trump could be impeached whereas Clinton probably could not.

            I was one of the first, if not the first, to point that out, at National Review in the spring.

        2. Latest best seller:

          1001 recipes for crow.

          Most amusing is watching the media trying to explain things without replacing their bias and projection filters.

  7. This will really frighten the Snowflakes…send them scurrying back to the safe spaces to hug their stuffed animals:

    ” Trump to Support Nationwide Concealed Carry. “Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump — who said he has a concealed carry permit — called for the expansion of gun rights Friday, including making those permits applicable nationwide. In a position paper published on his website Friday afternoon, Trump called for the elimination of gun and magazine bans, labeling them a ‘total failure.’””

    Great if true.

  8. Speaking of things that caused Trump; Glenn has a post about worry over electronic surveillance. People are worried about Trump having that much power. Surveillance grew under Obama, and none of them cared. Some of us did care, and perhaps Trump being President might make others think about limiting government.

  9. I think from a conservative perspective, he will be a mixed bag. Some things he will do fine on and others not so much. I’m going into this with low expectations so will either be pleasantly surprised or getting what was expected.

    Hopefully, he will do some big things with lasting effects that will make up for whatever sucky things he does. SCOTUS is huge and rebuilding the military is also very important considering the world Obama created with his foreign policy blunders.

  10. I take heart in the 2016 election results: it will teach the liberals/Democrats/socialists just how MISERABLE over-centralized government can be…when it’s not YOUR government. They will have to live through two years of things not going their way, and the over-reaching for the past 10-15 years means that state and local governments will have their hands tied. (Or perhaps completely untied, if The Donald keeps his promise, for example, to deep-six Common Core.)

    California and the Northwest can read the handwriting on the wall…which is why they are talking about seceding from the United States. Notice this particular discussion started **after** things didn’t go “their way”. I expect Texas will stop talking about secession for a while, depending on what happens in Wash DC.

    1. California and the Northwest can read the handwriting on the wall…which is why they are talking about seceding from the United States.

      I have seen their maps and they forget that much of the physical territory is not populated by a majority of Democrats. At best they would get most of the coast. They wouldn’t get all of the cost because a significant effort would be made to ensure access to the Pacific Ocean for trade and the military.

      Because of that, it is unlikely that there would be a single contiguous progressive country but more likely two or three. That is if they were allowed to succeed. Then we could talk about access to water, electricity, gasoline, and food.

      A shooting war would turn out very poorly for them.

      1. The joke here near Seattle is that there’s the “Space Needle State” (Everything within viewing distance of the Space Needle), and then the rest of Washington. It is an exaggeration – but not all that much of one. If we said the “Mount Rainier State” and split it, all the areas out of range of viewing Mt. Rainier would be 55/45 R, and all the areas able to view Mt. Rainier would remain 65/35 Free Stuff Party.

        Grand Coulee Dam (and the other zillion Columbia River dams) are notably -not- inside the looney bin, and their electrical infrastructure (along with California’s) will collapse immediately.

        In any actual shooting war, the power lines would be completely indefensible.

        1. The South might have gotten away with it, at least until the fell apart economically, if the hot heads had resisted shooting at a Federal fort.

        2. But, this time, the American people want them to go. If California secedes, the Democrats are done.

          But you will need to build a wall to keep the zombies out after the economy collapses.

  11. “Hopefully, he will do some big things with lasting effects that will make up for whatever sucky things he does. SCOTUS is huge and rebuilding the military is also very important considering the world Obama created with his foreign policy blunders.”

    One of the top issues – and one he can attack immediately with great effect – is the fixing of the VA hospital problem.

    This should be a Day One task, morally and practically.

    That Obama and his administration’s decision to ignore this problem is a moral travesty. Makes him a hateful person. Period. End of story.

    Lots og goodwill and popular support will come Trump’s way if he attacks and solves this problem immediately. There can be short term solutions and long term solutions…it doesn’t have to be totally fixed in a week.

    But Obama had 8 years. He did nothing.

    1. Gregg, totally agreed regarding the VA.

      Obama, though, has a long record of ignoring travesties unless they suit his agenda. He’s always been quick to weigh in on “outrages” that do though, like saying the police acted stupidly regarding the Cambridge professor, jumping in to defend Travon Martin and others, etc. Yet, where was he when Charlotte was being wrecked by rioters (most of them from out of state)? Where is he now regarding the current riots?

      I fear his final days. We’re already seeing indicators he’ll try to ram through the TPP trade pact, and I suspect that’s not the only item on his list.

    2. Obama, the media, and the Democrats have two faces. They say one thing in public and act differently in private. Obama might have said the country should give Trump a chance but behind the scenes the DNC is organizing these riots and Obama approves of them.

      The media is the same way, they are cheerleading on these riots.

      This election cycle has been a great example of the hypernormalization tactics the Democrats use to brainwash their base. They say they are against bigotry, violence, and hatred and yet are the main purveyors of it.

  12. Coloring books. I just gotta’ say, providing freaking coloring books to college aged students just blows my mind. Stuffed animals was bad enough, but coloring books? “Snowflake” just does not begin to describe the fragility of these creatures.

    1. Bart, I agree… It’s absurd to provide coloring books and play dough to students of that sort. The age-range guidelines for play dough and crayons are for children of a mental age of three and up, so they are clearly putting those students at risk.

      Special snowflakes, after all, are so very very special, in the “special ed” and “riding the short bus” kind of way.

    2. I’d like to think the coloring books are an ironic touch by some university staffer who can effing believe she’s being paid to do this.

  13. I didn’t support Trump, but I am very much heartened. I hope that he plus a normal Republican Congress will be a good combination. He can do the part that he’s best at – firing people.

  14. Somebody needs to correct the false narrative. Trump also won the popular vote in final tally 62.9 m Trump / 62.2 m Clinton

    I hear the paid rioters claiming it wrong.

    1. I’ve been watching that closely, Ken. There were still a LOT more votes to tally, and such a tiny margin to overcome. At one point, CNN had a banner up projecting Trump as the winner of the popular vote based on the votes yet to be counted. They took it down, though, probably after complaints to which they were too willing to acquiesce.

      So, can you give me a link to the tally you are looking at? CNN is still showing HRC ahead.

      1. I mean, it’s a moot point. If there were no Electoral College, beaucoups of conservatives who just didn’t bother to vote in NY and CA would have changed the total substantially. And, the margin of fraud (felons, undocumented immigrants, etc…) is significantly larger than the number by which Clinton has been ahead anyway.

        But, it would still be nice to be able to stuff that back down the throats of the jackasses who maunder on about it.

    2. Yes Ken, where did you get your “final tally 62.9 m Trump / 62.2 m Clinton”?

      AP is reporting 60.350 million Trump / 60.981 million Clinton as of Sunday morning.

      1. From what I was able to find, which was hearsay; the notion is that if you considered the historical break that absentee ballots go for either Republican or Democrat, that they aren’t counted unless they make the difference in a state’s outcome, and the number of those absentee ballots; then they overcome the margin of victory in the popular total.

        So much easier to point out that Hillary won the popular vote in the 2008 Democratic Primary and drop the mic.

  15. Still wallowing in schadenfreude. When I watched Hillary’s concession speech, I imagined that her meds plus booze was causing her brain to react in uncontrollable ways, the result being an uncharacteristic candor and honesty; to wit:

    “Soros, you f*cking Jew bastard, you promised me a win!”

    “I’ll be back to lobotomize you, Randle McMurphy–I mean Donald Trump!”

    “Does Trump have a cat? Moose, Rocco–you know what to do! Give him the Kathleen Willey treatment!”
