Un-fucking real.
They can walk around and be in your face about their politics. Supporting Hillary, badgering trump supporters, and it is like a badge of honor for them. "I don't give a shit what you think!" and "I will not be silenced and will speak my mind" are mantras that they live by. But to support Trump or to celebrate his victory is some sort of horrible, racist aggression?
This is just getting into twilight zone territory. Half the population can do and say whatever they want: "I can't wait for hetero men to become extinct!" with ZERO repercussions. No matter how hateful, bigoted, etc. While the other half has to walk on egg shells and say nothing at all, lest the least little thing offends the fierce leftists.
I wonder if the person holding the "rape Melania" sign will face any repercussions? Fired, expelled, publicly shamed on social media? Oh, of course not. That is perfectly fine, and free speech.

It was a dude. Not a person. Stop using their language. They want you to no longer call men men, or women women. Everyone is non binary genderfluid retardation. Don't play into that.

I used "person" because the photo I saw was basically a sea of protesters with the sign being held up, and I had no idea from that what the gender was.
