In more news to give you confidence in your confirmation bias, some peace activists were just attacked in New York by what they say were Donald Trump supporters with anti-anti-racist bracelets. This is the world in which you are living and there is no waking up.
According to the victims, they were leaving a party of some kind and chanting unspecified slogans. And then a bunch of random guys ran over to them, yelling Trump’s name, and punched them. Police showed up a few minutes later.
The victims were coming from a space called “Decolonize This Place,” and at least one was with something called Bash Back NYC. They say the the targets were queer, black, and non-cisgender. According to one witness:
I grappled with one of them after he had sucker punched one of the members of our group He ended up on top of me and landed several hits to my face. My face is extremely swollen and eye bruised. What’s important to remember is that these guys specifically targeted us as a mixed group of gay men and women of color. They yelled “faggot,” told others “go back” to where they’re from and specifically pointed to me and yelled: “He’s a fucking faggot.”
In response, another group is organizing a press conference and rally — they’re calling themselves NYC Shut It Down, and they’ll be meeting up at Decolonize this Space at 8pm tonight.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
So this is probably what we can look forward to for the next four years — waves of weird, irrational violence and so many groups and organizations that nobody can keep track of who’s fighting what.

Trash agitator on trash agitator crime? Possibly. Who knows anymore. Fuck trumptards. Fuck SJWs entrism destroying the Left.
deanosor
What is SJW entrism? How can they be entering and destroying the Left when i thought they were the Left? Which Left? These are real questions. I am not asking them for rhetorical purposes.
monroerob69
Why don’t you report on the anti Trump crime? Oh, too liberal for you.

@monroerob69: Oh please. If there are then post some links..

“Trump!” . . . PUNCH!
“Trump!” . . . BASH!
“Trump!” . . . KA-POW!
“Trump!” . . . SOCK!
“Trump!” . . . SLAM!
Yeah, THAT’S how fights work: Someone announcing the name of the person whose name they’re attacking in while doing the attacking.
Riiiiiiight.
These fabrications of oppression from the snowflakes are getting downright funny.
deanosor
@ Mo: Why do you believe these are fabrications? Why do you call people snowflakes when people are different?
IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou
@ChrisK: Well there is video of black and illegals attacking people going into Trump rallies before the election. Just search for Trump supporters attacked on youtube.
IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou
Something about this one seems off to me. I’m going to wait and see what turns up on it.
Crow
@monroerob69: Because who reports fake news? Seriously, who does that?
Crow
Yeah, and 65 million snowflakes together make a pretty fierce avalanche. Just one is all it takes to set it off.

@IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou: “Just search for Trump supporters attacked on youtube.”
Sorry the presence of something on the internet is no proof of authenticity. Search for stories on it in reliable media. You won’t find very much at all to corroborate the lies that come out of the alt-right.
Please learn how to actually parse information and you won’t seem quite so foolish and naive. Then maybe work on your grammar and spelling. You don’t have to agree with me, but you sure as hell have to communicate with intelligence to be taken seriously!
IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou
@dwes09: So you think videos including ones from local news stations are faked?
dwes09
I think you possibly don’t have the ability to discern the difference between a video circulating on Breitbart (such as the debunked video of the people supposedly being bused into a trump rally that turned out to be people totally unrelated to any political event) and a reliable exercise in journalism. Some local stations certainly pass on feed they get that is not properly vetted. There are many examples of local (and some of national) stations and print media picking up stories from The Daily Currant, and other spoof sites! There were stations that passed on the “planned parenthood video” as real long before it was shown to be edited and mixed with totally unrelated footage and information. Video footage is easily and inexpensively manipulated. And NOTHING on smaller websites is vetted or regulated on the internet. Breitbart, The Blaze, Stormfront and so on put anything the damn please on their sites if it supports their alt-right agenda, and don’t give a shit if it is lies or not.
The New York Times, The LA times, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, The Guardian, The BBC, are pretty much the only sources you should trust.
dwes09
@IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou: And in the case of incidents such as this: local and national law enforcement agencies as well as those who monitor hate crimes and civil rights offenses report an increase in violence of all kinds against precisely the people the alt-right, strong followers of trump, targets (gays, women, immigrants and people of color). That this is happening is undeniable.
Get used to it. It you are as you claim, a gay man, your chances of being the target of violence are higher than they have been in a long time, and all indications are it will get worse.

I agree this does look fake, and it was the day or night when Trump was confirmed President by the Electoral college, and those deflecting electoral voters-even democrats did not vote for Hillary.
Kangol
I love that Queerty deleted my comment. All I said was, if someone really did this, lock them up and throw away the key. Why is that controversial???
Transiteer
Trumps ‘brown shirts’ are out and prowling. Be on your Guard. I’ve never heard of Trump supporters being victimized by non-Trump supporters. I don’t believe there are any. But I’m convinced of Trumps ‘brown shirts’ running around beating people up because they are as low to the ground as you’d think.
scottjamesmiller
@monroerob69: What
anti-Trump crime” are you referring to”? Any specifics you care to add? I didn’t think so. You’re delusional.
scottjamesmiller
@IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou: You know they’re illegal because they’re wearing a button on their shirt? They were asked to prove their immigration status WHILE beating and attacking? Do you understand that you sound ridiculous? “Search on Youtube”? Youtube has videos of cats playing pianos. That doesn’t mean that a cat can play the piano. You’re grasping at straws.
MediaGuy
Everybody is pretty much sick and tired of the election deniers saying Trump didn’t really win. Like it or not all the data, including the recent endorsement of the electoral college all prove he did win. So ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to deal with it. This guy won. I mean it’s gotten so stupid that anti-trump artists want their art work taken off Ivanka’s apartment walls. Every petty little maneuver that can be pulled out of the sack is being put on the table.This makes dems look not just like sore losers, but petty,infantile pant’s pissing, kicking and screaming spoiled-rotten kids. Let it go.
Gary_Gans
@MediaGuy: “Everybody?” Wow. 325 million Americans, whose Treasonous Commander in Tweet requested Russia’s assistance, is “Everybody”?
I hate to shatter these delusion (actually I don’t), but an overwhelming majority of the World outside of the Breitbart Bubble are playing fools only from a more than the Democratic Party contingent, and are watching the same hypocrisy coming from people that don’t know what is really going on now, and it’s long overdue to cut this BS right now. This nom de guerre of “Alt-Right” doesn’t change who they really are, and so those that chant “Jew-S-A” and “Lügenpresse” while pointing at the Media of the World have not witnessed this before? It’s not “Alt-Right”, MediaGuy. It’s “Alt-Wrong”, and many fell for a man that regurgitates lies like a bulimic after the Christmas meal.
Which has me wondering. Are you straight? If people want to believe in Aliens become a Scientologist. If people want to blow their horns about Muslims they should read the news, about a White Supremacist that was recently convicted of building a dirty bomb. His intent was to use it, and plant evidence in order to make erroneous claims that it was made by Muslims in order to create further lies about Muslims (Reichstag Feuer, oder?), Jews (which many Trump Supporters have called “Zionists”), Blacks, Latinos, Atheists, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, the LGBTQI Community, and especially the Intellectuals, because intelligence and education are the enemy. Specifically for their knowledge in History.
So, like the Sociopathic Lying President Elect, there are people that shampoo, lather, rinse, and repeat lies as a form of making those that do not realise that their desperate need to point the fingers at those unlike them are under assault and disillusioned. What a convenient use of prejudice! But Trump has suddenly changed his tune as of late. For a man that talked about the hatred of Goldman Sachs and Billionaires that are shipping decent paying jobs to places not in the United States of America, his Cabinet is filled with the very people that are outsourcing decent jobs out of the United States.
Do you believe that Trump doesn’t owe Putin for asking him to help uncover issues about Secretary Clinton, which resulted in the hacking of every office in the United States that holds secrets that threaten America’s safety, and then hacked the vote? At first people conveniently did not believe it because it was the CIA, and then when the very man that announced further investigations ten days before the National Elections, on a late Friday afternoon in an email, only to announce two days before the Elections that there was no smoking gun.
And Giuliani, whose buddies are less than clean, told the World that something they had up their sleeve was going to happen two days before this. That’s deception. Answer me these questions: why is his nominee for the Department of State the current CEO of Exxon-Mobil and recipient of the “Friend of the Russian Federation” Medal, given to him by Putin himself? There are many examples of what Putin orders if you do not pay him back for his ‘help’. Usually death.
I’m openly and proudly gay. I support equality for all. Thankfully I’m not American, because I would not want to be there when this sad chapter in American History ends. Just one ugly chapter that will see the real Americans that know that America is already Great, but they will kneel to no one, because America is a Nation of inclusion, and has fought to assure that everyone is equal, from the president to a poor young child. They are rising up to form an Opposition and Resistance against Tyranny that you just promoted.
These are many people, from many backgrounds, many of whom have been in the Military to protect the Constitution, the Bill Of Rights, and the Protections that has made America Great, in its “Melting Pot” that protects culture, race, gender, gender identity, sexuality, creed, and place of birth. Their dissent is protected by the Constitution. No supremacy nor theocracy, but the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness that no longer wants to be second to anyone. They believe in the Constitution as the Blueprint for a Great Nation, a living document that has expanded the Rights and corrected the unintentional and intentional inequalities of the past, and have fought bigger fish than the Alt-Wrong.
They will continue to call out the Lies and will take America to a far Greater Future. Many of them have been discriminated against, and many are not happy about the corruption from Corporations that keep them in wages low and have a road, that feels like it is getting longer, until they can sense a full recovery of the American Dream. They are standing up and against this Fraud for not only themselves, but for many people that expands far beyond NYC, including you. They know that there is a long road to reverse this trickle-down economic policies. Many of them have been struggling with keeping a roof over their heads, just like some in the Alt-Wrong, but they are not looking to point fingers to scapegoat the pressing facts that people like your future President will only worsen with their hardships. Some might think that NYC is just one huge city of wealthy, privileged Americans. They do not know NYC. Have you lived in NYC?
I lived in NYC, MediaGuy. I watched the first plane hit the North Tower from the Plaza, not on TV. I saw it all, and then after both Towers fell I ran to help others. I’m a member of the WTC Health Registry. Have you ever held a piece of a person that is covered in WTC dust, unable to tell whether it is male, female, white, black, latino, LGBTQI, or was just in the Trade Center for a meeting? How about passing a bucket of these parts, being carried out like a chain-gang? I know how hard it is for a majority of New Yorkers to get by, place food on the table, and still pay the bills. Many of these people you criticise have struggled far harder than you appreciate. And from meeting that idiot on many occasions I know him, and I don’t trust him. What worries me most is that by the time you wake up it will be too late.
The statistics are there in plain view, and the Hate Crimes are happening in NYC, a city that I love, and where I have many friends that know that this was a hacked Election. So stop the generalisations about them, and start to understand that every American, and those that come to America with dreams that your ancestors shared, are being systematically eradicated by opportunists like you, and you are woefully unaware of the threats to your future that you promote.
These are my friends, MediaGuy. These are my Family. I am responding to YOU, MediaGuy, and those in the Alt-Wrong that are attempting to eradicate the Protections in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Balance of Power, and the Right to Stand Up to ALL Threats, Foreign and Domestic.

@Gary_Gans:
More and more each day for the past eight years there has been a ton of ‘nothing more than bullshit propaganda’ spouting out of unreliable sources that propagate misinformation at every turn.
We The People know it when we see it. We know who and what you are.
“And we ain’t gonna take it anymore.”
There is an army of malcontents malcontenting all over the place disturbing the peace with all manner of objectionable behavior by word and deed in order to disrupt the tranquility of life of We The People who voted not for Trump, but against ‘crooked hillary’.
Denying other people’s rights only brings denial of your rights.
The pendulum swings back and fro and the only way to stop it, is to turn it off.
MediaGuy
@Gary_Gans: For real brother you’re going to have to write shorter responses if you want anyone to get your point. There is fake news by the tons coming from the left because their narcissism has been bruised by the election results. This “news” is generated by millennials (who have no idea who Mrs. Clinton really is) and whose entitled little worlds collapsed around them and they peed their pants at the Javitz center and practically had to be carried home. So, they’re upset and this is part of their retaliation. That’s all I was saying.
