    No, propaganda is propaganda.

    Teaching children to "submit" to authority, like the results of free elections, is called respecting the law. Christ.
    I think we have different interpretations of what it is saying. If this is just like the "not my president" bullshit that doesn't actually mean anything then I think it's dumb. I take this as meaning just because a candidate won does not mean you need to submit to his power and not fight in opposition to his policies if they are unconstitutional and injust.
    There's entirely too much feel-good, but useless, ineffective protesting going on right now, about every single fucking grievance under the sun. We've already raised one generation of snowflakes who preach diversity all day long, but wilt at the slightest hint of adversity. Many alive today lived through Nixon, Carter, Reagan, W, and Obama, plus wars, shitty economies, etc. Sucking it up and pressing forward into the future is strengthening. (Something every Husky fan should understand.) Bitching, whining, pissing, moaning and protesting for the sake of protesting and skipping school or work doesn't produce a goddamn thing.

    Beyond that, WTF did any of us know when we were little kids? Jack shit. By design. Would you give the car keys to an 8 year old? This stuff isn't about the kids. It's about shitty parents who fail to check their emotions in the household, which is why their kids were crying when Trump won. Fuck those people. You can't always get what you want, and most of the time, that makes a person stronger and more capable as they learn to adapt and conquer adversity. This chronic protesting does just the opposite.

    Thank God for competitive sports, or the schools would've turned both my kids into mush-brained hothouse flowers.
    You had me until that last sentence, AAU dad.

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    And it's very important to understand what Trump's election represented: He didn't overwhelmingly win a popularity contest. Many, many of his voters held their noses and gave him a pass on his bad behavior, because his candidacy represented a full and complete REBUKE of the progressive agenda throughout the nation, and for good reason. We talk entirely too much about bathrooms and body parts, instead of fixing infrastructure and creating middle class jobs. People generally like Obama, but they are sick and tired of his agenda, or lack of it, and wanted to return to more nuts and bolts forms of progress and less Caitlyn Jenner bullshit.

    there are progressives who actually care about those things you mentioned and reject the whole SJW bullshit
    Bernie Sanders got a lot of votes running on mainly that message.
    I was worried that this social justice warrior culture would end up damaging the left politically, and it did.
