To put it bluntly the constitution was carefully constructed to prevent mob rule which is naked democracy. They purposely put in place many paths to block the majorities whims. Hence "checks and balances".

hah hah Author Robert Heinlein often referred to these sort of mindless, unruly, poorly-educated, marginally useful people as "yammerheads". One of their most prominent qualities is that virtually nothing that they say or do makes much sense and another is that they are very angry and demonstrative of that anger.

There are two basic types of anger - normal and psychotic (schizoaffective).

Normal anger results from frustration born of failure, or willful injury done to one by another by overt intention or neglect.

Most likely these poor souls are angry because of normal frustration due to their own failures to have their material or emotional needs met in relation to the election. But they respond as if someone has by voting, done something deliberately or grossly neglectful to injure or harm them personally.

Since many of these same people demonstrated severe detachment from reality during the campaign (which led them to support Hill-O-Lies Clinton) it makes perfect sense that their detachment from reality would continue after the election and influence how they react to losing.

People of lower intellect often engage in assigning "guilt by proximity". In other words, they assume that whoever is involved with or in proximity to them when they feel great anger is RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PROBLEM.

Dullards often do not understand that anger sometimes arises simply from frustration at failure to get something that one desires or feels entitled to greatly, but that there is not always someone who is rightfully to blame for causing that anger. They feel angry and believe that whoever is standing in front of them or in the room with them is RESPONSIBLE for causing their anger.

So many of their behavior problems result from not understanding normal boundaries for responsibility. They believe that it is another's responsibility to make them happy or not feel frustrated anymore.

Some of them mutate into full-fledged psychotic rage - working themselves up into beliefs about some vague or distant powerful nefarious force or person which is deliberately, intentionally causing them harm (through willful injury or neglect).

An example of that is how the Nazis convinced themselves that all of Germany's problems were caused by the Jewish population of their nation and around the world. That psychotic delusion took hold and became realized in actions and an entire world war.

That is the dangerous aspect of psychotic anger - if enabled or exploited by unscrupulous agents, it can be expanded to become something horribly destructive - both to those who engage in it and especially to those who are attacked as a result.

The anger of losing an election is closer to the sort which arises when stubbing one's toe. It is normal to feel some anger when one stubs one's toe. What is not normal is to blame whoever is walking down the street with you for the fact that you stubbed your toe, nor for the fact that you are very angry about it.

In a follow-up tweet, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator lectured, “Letting Trump take office means burying democracy.

Somebody needs to explain to that dummy that America is NOT and never has been a democracy,and that the push by the Dims to register everything with a pulse and some rocks to vote is Un-Constitutional.

He probably thinks that way because Obama uses the term.  I don't know that I've ever heard him use the term republic, its always democracy.

A giant purge is coming....People I've known for years- apolitical, are now getting sick and tired of the whole thing  sjw, white guilt etc

@skeeter

Advocating political violence?

I don't think those that will do such a thing will be doing your bidding.  Most likely, you'll be... along with far too many others, buried in an unmarked mass grave, should your wish be granted.

Look to the French Revolution to see what happens to revenge driven mobs.

I've noticed the same thing, I think it's why Trump was elected. These people weren't in the 'polls" because they previously had no voting history, but like the saying goes: you may not care about politics, politics cares about you. And I think they're realizing that, and this racial crap has been all over in recent years.

Average Americans...hell most of America right now is caught between two revenge driven mobs.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

An example of this nutcase's mind:

In college, Whedon studied a theory called "womb envy",[234] a concept he says observes "a fundamental thing that women have something men don't, the obvious being an ability to bear children. Men not only don't get what's important about what women are capable of, but in fact they fear it, and envy it, and want to throw stones at it, because it's the thing they can't have".[265] In 2007, Whedon expressed his outrage over the murder of Du'a Khalil Aswad, and because the act was caught on video, was prompted to attack the underlying attitude he felt led to the murder, comparing the video to torture porn.[234][270]

Well, as far as Du'a, I agree with him.

And, I remember the theory about why women are treated so badly in so many cultures.  That was one attempt to explain it - some sort of "life giving ability envy".   Could actually be something to it in primitive societies, like islam.

Please stop making posts that advocate or appear to advocate violence. Several such posts have already been deleted.

If the Hollywood and NYC crowd are so afraid of TRUMP and PENCE, why are they going to extra lengths to make sure their names are REMEMBERED by Trump and Pence? If either one turned into a Caligula would you want them to REMEMBER your name?

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

I think he misspelled Ass Wad. In this case,a name and an adjective.

i do too as it was a terrible ritualistic murder.

What it exposes in Joss's mind though is some twisted explanation which makes little sense.  Men are envious of a woman's ability to have kids?  Feminism in its purest form it seems.

God made men and women different.  They are not the same and in all things they are not equal.  Feminism attempts to say women may even be superior to men.

Nope, not in God's scheme of things.

Well stated and abundantly supported by a lot of strong evidence.

This is also why denigration of Paganism is often misplaced. The symbol of the Druid deity was a person holding two staffs. This represented the male and female united as a single marriage, which to them was a symbol of divine power. It is also significant to note that this was not an ambisexual figure, but rather one of the uniting of two separate entities into a greater whole.

It was a similar concept to CG Jung's animus and anima or the Taoist symbol of the yin/yang.

Also strongly agree that there is a lot of envy caught up in the millennial muzz oppression/subjugation of females in their inferior culture.
