#1 Don't worry. Americans hate you too.

#2 I still have not seen one shred of evidence that Trump is a 'racist'. And no, enforcing federal law by building a fence is not 'racist'. And keeping out follows of an religion who either kills innocent people for terrorism or does nothing about it out is not racist either. Religion is a choice - not a race.

#3 most of them are just evil — evil being defined not as anything so glamorous as beheading journalists or gunning down grade schoolers, but simply as not much caring about other people's suffering.

Virtue signalling. These people are unbelievably shallow.

#4 A few of us are talking, after a couple drinks, about buying guns; if it comes to a fascist state or civil war, we figure, we don't want the red states to be the only ones armed.

So clueless he doesn't even know he's clueless!

#6 A house divided against itself can not stand. All they want is power and anything that stands in the way must be thrown down. There can be only one.

#7 Defy, paralyze, and undermine it in any way I can
I never did that to the soon-to-be former President - I hoped for the best and feared for the worst. I let Obama earn his legacy. Why can't you losers just stand aside?

#8 Sarte: "Hell is other people"

Liberals: "People who aren't in lockstep with my views are icky, but I sooooo love 'the idea of America' (as defined by me) Because LGBT and stuff..."

#10 The reason is that a small government will not have the resources to use its power against its citizens

Badanov, another reason is that a small government removes motivation for rent seeking. Apply the Willie Sutton Rule logic and make lobbying the government a high cost low return activity.

#11 If Trump doesn't achieve anything else (and I believe he's will), he still was the right choice because he made the masks come off.

#12
"What's going to be more complicated is formulating some coherent attitude toward the 62 million of my fellow Americans who elected that administration. How to reconcile my convictions with the actual human beings — family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors — who voted for this man?"

The most productive thing you could do toward formulating a "coherent attitude" toward your fellow Americans would be to seriously consider the possibility that everything you think you know-- and I do mean EVERYTHING-- is pure, utter bullshit and that your "convictions" are nothing more than intellectual and moral sewage poured into your head by a Progressive media/education establishment determined to convert you into an unthinking jackass.

You are a moral cretin.

#14 "Stronger together" doesn't degrade gracefully. If the signal is corrupted the swarm dies. Once madness creeps into the talking points, "stronger together" becomes "crazy together."Richard Fernandez, Belmont Club.

On the contrary, he thinks those things are perfectly OK.

#18 A few of us are talking, after a couple drinks, about buying guns

Please do. And get your gun training from TV shows. You'll shoot yourselves, or each other, and save us the bullets - and the paperwork.
