CNN and the Democrat bullies are still egging each other on to bring you the worst in news coverage. This morning, 1/16/2017, CNN's full of stoking the Democratic Congressional no-show fire as they proudly announce dozens of lawmakers planning to SHUN the President Elect and not show up for the inauguration. It's meaningful only in the larger context of the liberal bullying that's become a new norm among many liberals who try to describe themselves as kinder or smarter than anyone else when like all bullying it's just the rancid, babyish attempts to exert power that bullying always is.
So here's the test according to stopbullying.gov: In order to be considered bullying a behavior is "Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others."
For me, the definition could easily add, "SEE Democrats." The lawmakers SNUBBING THE PRESIDENT ELECT'S INAUGURATION are even more pathetic, because their tactics IGNORE that it is only in their own minds that they have most of the country behind them. After all, why be part of the Trump government at all in their compromised minority state? They wouldn't do that because that would mean walking away from the public teat of government salary, benefits and power, which of course would cost them something. Instead they're grandstanding and not showing up for the inauguration.
Make no mistake, according to the government's own website, this is bullying: Shutting down the other side, or in bullying parlance, SOCIAL BULLYING, LEAVING SOMEONE OUT ON PURPOSE, TELLING OTHER CHILDREN NOT TO BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE, EMBARRASSING SOMEONE IN PUBLIC--In other words, the Democratic lawmakers.
The remedy according to stopbullying.gov? Keep the lines of communication open, model how to treat others with kindness and respect--Again, remind your Democratic lawmakers.
Bullying is a coward's game and today's new liberals prove it. They'll spout their opinions with moral superiority and assurance and shut down all dissension, this too was modeled by Obama and his Administration--lecturing America on why his way is the right way even in the face of dissent by the very people who put him in office, resorting to executive action or finding loopholes in our laws to allow himself to trample over the people who put him in office.
Are you a bully? Do you end conversations that express opinions that differ from yours?
Are you a bully? Did you try to embarrass people who were anti-Hillary Clinton accusing them of being everything up to and including pro-Nazi?
Are you a bully? Did you believe that Hillary Clinton was winning because CNN told you it was so or because they painted Trump supporters as stupid?
Are you a bully? Do you only listen to others who parrot your point of view in order to believe you're part of a 'majority'?
The lawmakers not attending the inauguration are unworthy of their position and their public employee salaries and benefits, thumbing their noses at the government that was legitimately elected. When John Lewis called President Trump "illegitimate," he was engaging in SOCIAL BULLYING and earned the reaction that stopbullying.gov mandates: NOT SAYING ANYTHING COULD MAKE IT WORSE FOR EVERYONE. Donald Trump had to respond, John Lewis was being a BULLY.
And instead of joining in the bullying as many Democrats have, what does stopbullying.gov recommend? "Be kind to the kid being bullied. Show them that you care by trying to include them. Sit with them at lunch or on the bus, talk to them at school, or invite them to do something. Just hanging out with them will help them know they aren’t alone." But instead, as the new liberal is often apt to do, they banded together to perpetuate the bullying.
Democrats have used the magic of "metrics," and "surveys" trying to prove that "the popular kids are thinking this," to try to sway a nation, and suppress other points of views when in fact they represented fewer and fewer Americans during Obama's tenure and there was not at any point a Hillary Clinton landslide. The sore loser indulgences couched in well expressed "loftier goals," are illusory, they're simply bullying. Democrats voting for their leadership should take a good look at their representatives who are snubbing the President Elect and should hold them up as an example of what not to do when they or their children or their families are snubbed and finally ask themselves again: AM I THE BULLY? The answer is obvious, yes you are.
