An open letter to the Snowflakes

[41chevy]

Dear Special Snowflakes,

I wanted to take a minute to write you specifically, so that you would know that your feelings matter to me.

I know the past weeks have been really super, incredibly, terribly, horribly hard for you. You believed that Hillary Clinton would finally break that non-existent glass ceiling and that the warm and fuzzy snuggles you’ve had since President Obama came to office would keep on keeping on. Beer summits, Lin-Manuel Miranda free verse nights at the White House, and free weed for all, this is what you’d hoped Hillary would bring you; that and possibly turning the day after the Super Bowl into a national holiday.

When that didn’t happen you believed it had to be someone else’s fault, because let’s face it, this is what you’ve always been told. Why would you know otherwise?

I also understand very deeply how important it is for your narrative to not be messed with. After all most of you that are now “expressing yourself” grew up with a public school curriculum that reminded you that your feelings are never wrong and that "looking out for yourself first" is the most important lesson in life. When someone doesn’t affirm this I know the cognitive dissonance has to come near making your brain explode.

Yes you never knew the lessons of losing because when your team scored fewer runs they still got trophies. You don’t much like God nor his ten commandments because they seem like a serious drag on your positivity with all the “thou shalt nots.”

I get that you don’t know the difference in using the f-word or not in polite conversation, and I know that some of you may even be angry that your parents made you live your entire life as the actual gender that matched your anatomical genitalia.

Life has been hard for you.

Suffering through history lessons in… er   history class, and sometimes hearing things about historical figures that weren’t quite as gentle as what your fluffy professors would like to teach you they were. To be candid, it’s a miracle that so many generations before yours suffered through such indignities.

Even though you can’t articulate nor even defend your actual worldview, I know how much easier it would be for you to just never have to listen to anything that runs counter to it to begin with.

I know on Snapchat, Instagram, and facebook you have this image of yourself that you are carefully crafting and how easy it is for you to just unfriend someone when they don’t like your newest Sextie.

So I can only imagine how bad the last few weeks have been.

Donald Trump, you’ve been told, is an "orange Jesus,” a not nice person who dislikes people different than him, and may actually cause a lot of disruption to your whole vibe. And because your world is filled with only one point of view, when that point of view tells you that the world may end if this happens, you naturally start asking your teachers for safe spaces. But after a while you grow bored there so you need coloring books and play-doh, or maybe even puppies to cheer you up. Because you know #FeelingsMatter.

Yes it’s true, things may get a bit harder for a while. New anchors will mostly huff and grumble their way through his picking of his cabinet and his inauguration. They will fill your minds with teasers like “how great would it be if we got rid of the electoral college?” In some instances I’ve heard college professors have even taken to encouraging you to harass the members of the electoral college into trying to sway them to reverse their votes from Trump to Clinton. One lady I heard they’ve harassed with over 8000 phone calls and emails. Because you know #RapeMelania.

When none of this works those same news anchors, and academics, and others who believe that you should live according to your feelings (instead of facts) will likely blame the outcome on something else. Because you know #NotMyPresident.

They will still continue to attempt to get you to harass those who differ with you though. Like if a Vice President goes to see Hamilton they think it’s a classy move to curse so loudly and out of control during songs they perceive apply to the administration they will encourage you to do so long enough to stop the performance—multiple times. Because you know #LoveTrumpsHate.

 

And if you can’t get a ticket because they’re being sold for that old fashioned capitalistic idea of a profit, just wait outside and chant for him to f-himself as he leaves. Because you know #WhenTheyGoLowYouGoHigh.

Whatever you do though, pay no attention to the beliefs, words, or ideas that Alexander Hamilton actually believed because he was a dangerous dude who would’ve opposed everything your Queen Hillary believed.

What I most want to tell you though is simple, “You will be okay in the end.” The icons you worship have led you to believe that the world is falling apart, but in reality for the next few months and years, things are going to radically improve.

But in order to do so, just about everything you’ve ever been taught in your precious little snowflake life will have to be unlearned.

And the lesson you will have to take away from it all is that America will survive for another generation.

Very nicely done!   I fear nobody that it will actually help will see it if it stays here though.....I don't believe there are many ....no any Snowflakes that come here, but it's the thought that counts...here's your trophy

Amen. I walked by Trump tower yesterday.  Not one single protester (snowflake ) on site. It was about 10am so they might not have rolled their sorry asses out of bed yet or maybe the DNC and Soros checks didn't clear.

Protesters like to have their weekends off.

Snowflakes aren't near as much a drag on the economy as the old "clinkers" that got a cushy job and a pension just because they were male, white, able bodied, and assumed to be straight. Bankrolled by those pensions and Social Security and kept alive by subsidized Medicare, they can lay around all day and accomplish nothing more than feeding themselves and bellyaching about everybody else...

White girls too.  As said by you and quoted below, 11th year of retirement thanks to your pension.  Surprised you labeled yourself as a clinker and that you are a drag to the economy.

You guys still haven't figured it out... Still working your butts off! Here I sit at 66 enjoying my 11th year of retirement, do what I want, get up when I want, etc... All thanks to a union pension!

[paulbrook]

To the original poster - you, Sir, are a genius and from this side of the pond I salute you!

I have been dying to say something similar to all those who came second in our own UK "this is what democracy actually looks like kids" BREXIT vote. I have rather more facebook friends who might be described as Liberal Elite than I thought I had so I may have to steal your "snowflake" label!

You may have it.

I paid my own way, did my time in the military and EARNED MY CIB  and 2 Purple Hearts and gave up my youth to the country.  I have a service related severe physical disability that I deal with quietly and only take what is really needed from the government. I / WE have more of a right to point at the people who take and do not give back anything but whining and moaning about the country, the elected officials and the terrible world that it is.We own 6 houses, two successful hauling businesses,a farm on Long Island and a 300 acres in Virginia thats soon to be a Kiwi farm all on our own.  

I'll take my pension, SS and Medicare because I EARNED it.Guess that makes me a lazy clinker shithead!

Remember "we still don't get it". You retired at 55 from your cushy union job, get up when you like and do what you want, Clinker.

Old white clinker here checking in.  Pretty snotty comments.  Particularly considering your beloved broken-ass Teamsters Central States Pension Fund won't be able to pay you squat unless U.S. taxpayers decide to take pity and bail it out.

Not an original thought here just parroting the liberal left's vitriol and hate for those that have earned their way in society. TeamsterGrrrl needs to turn off MSNBC and get off of her 11 year retired lazy ass and do something productive to bring the country together.

[TeamsterGrrrl]

Sorry, I fought for and earned my pension, not about to give it up. As for Medicare and Social Security, have yet to draw a cent. And why waste my time working for the low wages they're offering today? Better to let young folks have the jobs and volunteer my time instead.

Part of the reason young people can't get good paying jobs is because the union pensions bankrupted the companies. They are stuck paying you for non-productivity.

[TeamsterGrrrl]

OK, so what wholesale baker did I bankrupt?

No point arguing with ignorance.
