I'm betting some of them are going to become unhinged and violent when their dream world doesnt come out.
A Snowflake Manifesto January 8, 2017 / John Pavlovitz Snowflakes are fragile, temporary, inconsequential little things. They are delicate and brittle and quite harmless—on their own. But when they begin to attach to other snowflakes, they become stronger, more powerful. They become dangerous. They become a force of freakin’ nature. Trump lovers like to call his detractors “snowflakes”, as if their feelings are a liability, their passions a reason for embarrassment, their grief a sign of weakness. (The attempted slur is especially ironic, given the absolute historic white fragility of the President-Elect, whose Twitter feed rings like the petulant cries of a perpetually offended middle schooler—but that is neither here nor there.) Snowflake? Is that all you got? I’ll take it. As a guy who grew-up in Central New York, I spent my entire childhood watching lake-effect snow systems roll in and in the blink of any eye, quickly blanket everything in shimmering, frozen white. I marveled at their ferocity. I’ve seen snow storms paralyze cities. them shut down entire parts of the country. I’ve seen them derail and disrupt everything. Snow storms alter the landscape. They stop traffic. They wreak havoc. No, one snowflake isn’t likely to make an impact—but I’m betting 65,788,853 can. I imagine that the shared strength of that many snowflakes is something to be reckoned with. In fact I’m certain that it is. I’ve already seen it happening in the weeks since November 8th; millions of good, compassionate, intelligent people connecting their individual, jagged, beauty into a glorious and forceful response to the hateful environment around them. Right now a massive, diverse collection of Americans of every faith perspective, every political persuasion, and every walk of life are assembling, and this is why hope isn’t hard to come by these days—because I can feel the weather changing by the minute. The current climate of bigotry will not stand, because we will alter it. We will change the weather: We will not allow people to be vilified for their religious traditions. We will not tolerate the civil rights of any group to be removed. We will not be divided along lines of color, gender, religion, orientation, or politics. We will not accept the physically and mentally ill to be left without healthcare. We will not allow people of color to be discarded by those sworn to protect them. We will not allow women to be devalued or overlooked with regard to pay, opportunity, or safety. We will not tolerate elected officials whose allegiances are not with all those they represent. This is simply the truth. This is the storm that’s gathering. This is the forecast for this nation. So yes, feel free to call us snowflakes simply because we care deeply, because we feel fully, because we lament the bitterness we’re witnessing. We will gladly wear that title. We’ll revel in it as we gather together. Because trust me, the coming days will be defined not by the hatred in this land, but by the fierce and loving avalanche that comes against it. Hang on tight and gird your loins, Donald—winter is coming |

No, most of us are busy working, not shut down I’ve seen them derail and disrupt everything. See above Snow storms alter the landscape. Temporarily - then we fix what you broke They stop traffic. This does sound like your tactic actually They wreak havoc. No, they are a temporary annoyance defeated by something as simple as sunshine or a shovel No, one snowflake isn’t likely to make an impact—but I’m betting 65,788,853 can. Actually it takes about a billion to make 1cuft of snow...better rethink your impact I imagine that the shared strength of that many snowflakes is something to be reckoned with.

Ahh, the feels... The current climate of bigotry will not stand, because we will alter it. We will change the weather: Please do tell me how We will not allow people to be vilified for their religious traditions. Unless they are Christians right? We will not tolerate the civil rights of any group to be removed. Unless they are straight, white or male right? We will not be divided along lines of color, gender, religion, orientation, or politics. Unless it suits your agenda to divide right? We will not accept the physically and mentally ill to be left without healthcare. Nor anyone who might vote your politics right? And of course you wont be paying for this right? We will not allow people of color to be discarded by those sworn to protect them. Unless that color is white right? We will not allow women to be devalued or overlooked with regard to pay, opportunity, or safety. Unless a Muslim want to do it, then it is OK right? We will not tolerate elected officials whose allegiances are not with all those they represent. Unless they have a (D) next to their name right? This is simply the truth. This is the storm that’s gathering. This is the forecast for this nation. Seems about a accurate as my local meteorologist So yes, feel free to call us snowflakes simply because we care deeply, because we feel fully, because we lament the bitterness we’re witnessing. We will gladly wear that title. We’ll revel in it as we gather together. Thanks for your permission, we didn't need it. Because trust me, the coming days will be defined not by the hatred in this land, but by the fierce and loving avalanche that comes against it. This is actually true, congratulations of accepting Christ and capitalism all at once! Hang on tight and gird your loins, Donald—winter is coming Feels more like spring to me snowflake View Quote |

We will not allow people to be vilified for their religious traditions.
Unless they are Christian? We will not tolerate the civil rights of any group to be removed. Except gun owners, who have 2A, Heller, and McDonald on their side? We will not be divided along lines of color, gender, religion, orientation, or politics. THAT IS ALL YOU FUCKING PEOPLE DO!!!!! We will not accept the physically and mentally ill to be left without healthcare. So to give them healthcare, you resort to thievery of my wealth via taxes, and coercion under color of law? We will not allow people of color to be discarded by those sworn to protect them. But you discard them when they do not help your political goals? We will not allow women to be devalued or overlooked with regard to pay, opportunity, or safety. But you will not tolerate any who do not vote for liberal/Democrat causes? We will not tolerate elected officials whose allegiances are not with all those they represent. Unless they are liberal/Democrat politicians whose allegiances align with yours? In the war of Snowflakes versus Deplorables, I'll put my money on the Deplorables. Blowtorch, bitches! |

So I'm curious, will this snowflake be compliant to the NYSAFE act that he helped vote into power or will be defy it by acquiring firearms or something of that nature.

"Right now a massive, diverse collection of Americans of every faith perspective, every political persuasion, and every walk of life are assembling, and this is why hope isn’t hard to come by these days—because I can feel the weather changing by the minute."
This sorry sack needs to step out side of his little circle of safety because he is right, things are changing just far from the way he imagines. |

The little snowflake first talks about weather patterns, and then conveys that merging his little snowflake persona with others will straighten the snowflake persona
WRONG! More winning |

View Quote IMHO most of them wouldn't recognize hypocrisy even if it took physical form, jumped in their face and shouted "YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE, BTICH!" and punched them in the taco. Those that recognize the hypocrisy, don't care as long as it works in their favor. |

View Quote There's a very dark agenda that is coming from the left. The last 8 years with Obama has been all about taking a mile when given an inch. Now, they want to hold onto all the liberal policies that have been put into place. When Justice Scalia died, I was thinking Obama was going to put in a gay, transsexual, multi-husband Muslim, tree-hugging vegan as the next justice. |

Checkmate you little bitch.
The Rifleman's Creed This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will... My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace! |

It's composed entirely of increasingly selfish, warring factions, and they melted rapidly when relentlessly exposed to the heat of Truth.

I do expect temper tantrums of epic proportions, possibly even the violence the left always accuses others of doing. |
