Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

Oh, so anti-Trump people are the only ones guilty of violence and property destruction?
Tech founders want California to secedeSome big names in Silicon Valley have a simple message after Donald Trump's victory: We want out.Shervin Pishevar, an early Uber investor and cofounder of Hyperloop, posted a series of tweets Tuesday night announcing his plans to fund "a legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation."And no, he's not joking."Yes it's serious," Pishevar told CNNMoney in an e-mail. "It's the most patriotic thing I can do. The country is [at] a serious crossroads."Within hours, several other tech founders offered their support for the plan.
There have been more than 200 proposals for the secession of California over the state's history. Secession would require the approval of 38 state legislatures and two-thirds majorities in both the US House of Representatives and Senate,[6] to pass a Constitutional amendment, as the Constition provides no mechanism for state secession.[9] Analysts consider such an outcome improbable.[6]

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Or are you saying that they are all lying?I am saying your lead example is wrong and proven wrong and there are others too. I think on the whole the anti-Trump ARE the issue. You cannot EVER find a state or moment in time where there are NEVER outliers. Never a time where there are no bigots or vandals or unstable people. So the "Ha, they are not the only ones" narrative is weak at best and disingenuous at the worse. The vast majority of the issue is the Anti-Trump rioters. The people like this Muslim girl fabricating stories is not especially helpful either. I was not wrong Odeon, you are.....again.
Even areas with a strong platform to secession, like Scotland and Quebec, don't manage to actually do it. California doesn't stand a chance.
ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM TRUMP ACCEPTANCE RESISTANCE DISORDER (TARD)Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is a pattern of pathologically dissociative and psychotic behavior, first observed in the late hours of November 8th 2016, and increasing in severity with passing time. Sufferers of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder often exhibit pronounced cognitive dissonance, sudden bouts of rage, uncontrollable crying, suicidal ideation, and extreme sadness.Signs And Symptoms:People with Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder are characterized by a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to Make America Great Again. Individual sufferers often display signs of paranoia and delusion; in acute cases psychotic episodes have been observed. Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is different from being upset about the results of the 2016 presidential election; People with TARD are unwilling or unable to accept reality, despite irrefutable evidence.According to the DSM-V, individuals with TARD exhibit most or all of the following symptoms:- Telling others they are moving to Canada- Fixated on fantasies about the Electoral College- Protesting an election no credible source contests the outcome of- Exclamations that “Someone” should do “Something”- Acute change in demeanor from pompous and arrogant to fearful and combative- Claim that anyone who disagrees with them is some combination of Racist, Sexist, Bigoted, Homophobic, and actually some sort of Hitler personaCauses And Mechanisms:Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder was directly caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. For many, both in America and worldwide, this was a shocking and unexpected outcome; their preferred news sources having failed to inform them that the alternative candidate was a criminal parasite in such ill health she got chucked into the back of a van like a kidnap victim.Research is ongoing, but TARD appears to correlate closely with the following environmental and behavioral factors:- Membership in the Democratic party- Identifying as a Feminist- Currently enrolled in college, and/or- Possession of a Liberal Arts college degree- Cuckoldry- Living in a densely populated metropolitan area- Massive student debt- Spotty or non-existent work history- HipsterismDiagnosis:Diagnosis of Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder is straightforward. Ask the patient if Donald Trump is going to be the Next President of the United States of America. Some patients will become agitated, and may attempt to deflect. It’s critical you press them on the issue, even if they start babbling about ‘muh triggers’. A sufferer of TARD will begin to ramble incoherently, often displaying three or more of the symptoms within a short period of time.Treatment:The only known effective treatment is exposure therapy. The patient must be repeatedly exposed to reality, and should wear a Make America Great Again hat as long as they are able to tolerate it. Each exposure should increase in length, after a week the patient should be encouraged to be seen in public wearing the MAGA hat. Coach the patient to refer to Donald Trump as President-Elect Trump.Patients with TARD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. Any possibility of treatment requires that they be separated from their hive-mind support apparatus; they cannot begin the process of accepting reality in the presence of encouragement towards delusion and irrationality. Separation may require the assistance of law enforcement.If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TARD, urge them to seek treatment. Together we can beat this scourge, and Make America Great Again!http://m.disclose.tv/news/are_you_suffering_from_trump_acceptance_resistance_disorder_tard/136500?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fb_organic
I hope this is a joke.
"OH CRAP! WHAT NOW? SURVIVAL GUIDE"(or formally known as: "The “Oh Shit! What Should I Do Before January?” Guide")Welcome to the OH CRAP WHAT NOW SURVIVAL GUIDE, a crowdsourced collection of health, legal, and safety plans and resources + social, digital and economic security related resources urgent now as an outcome of the recent US election.This is an attempt to start to bring together a lot of information regarding common concerns as we try to figure out wtf will actually happen and/or change in this new old world. What Trump has said he wants is not necessarily what he will do—or do right away—but we can make some guesses. It is to be expected that more information will follow and refine as we learn more.
"It's important to remember many people are happy to see him in office," Oliver said. "But for the rest of us, we are faced with the same questions as a guy that woke up the day after a Vegas bachelor party, deep in the desert, naked, tied to a cactus and a dead clown. Namely, how the [expletive] did we get here? And what the [expletive] do we do now?" Oliver spent the whole broadcast on wide-ranging Trump topics that included everything from the promises Trump made on the campaign trail, which Oliver said sounded like the "to-do list on Satan's refrigerator, which of course Satan no longer needs because Hell has frozen over," to Trump randomly changing his mind on issues."Trump is like a Magic 8-Ball, every time you shake him he gives you a different answer," Oliver said.The British comedian also took on the media's role in the election and the impact of fake news on social media."[Trump] came along and told millions of people every crazy email you've ever forwarded was true," Oliver said. "And that, at least in part, is why he will be our next president." Oliver finished the episode by telling his audience to not move to Canada but rather "stay here and fight" by donating to organizations like Planned Parenthood, news outlets and "actively standing up for one another.""It is going to be too easy for things to start feeling normal, especially if you are someone who is not directly impacted by his actions," Oliver added. "So keep reminding yourself. This is not normal."
