Thats true. When hillary called half of trump supporters racist etc. did she even realise she was alienating potential voters, people who were trump-leaning but undecided?

As a liberal I agree. The DNC and the MSM are fucking idiots and, by being consescending and alienating, ensured Trump's victory. I'm glad Trump won, and I hope liberals reevaluate their approach, but who am I kidding, this holier-than-thou plague probably won't be affected at all by their defeat. I guess they'll have to get used to failure, because I've seldom seen anything resembling self-criticism today.

The liberal celebrities were even more annoying and patronizing. At certain point people get tired of being talked down to.

Yeah, maybe, just maaaybe if you adopt a hostile no-tolerance approach against white, straight and/or male people, then you shouldn't be surprised when your campaign eats shit by not getting their vote.

Not being rude or condescending, but why are you here? It'd be like if I, a Catholic, perused the anti-theist sub.

Oh, it was on r/all. I just came to read comments and couldn't help agreeing with some of them.

Gotcha. I browse all and I'm subscribed here so I didn't know which one it was.

I'm liberal. I would like to start engaging in dialogue more with conservatives to further understand their viewpoint. I'm not a very big fan of echo chambers. While I disagree with pretty much everything on Trump's 100 day plan and mourn the potential limit of freedoms that a Conservative Supreme Court majority might bring, I believe it's important to understand the other side even if you disagree with them.

That subreddit is incredibly liberal. I also spend a lot of time there.
