If I had to guess, he was also being obnoxious, but did so while having the wrong opinions.

Hah, okay, whatever, but you realize you're going to keep losing? I mean, there's no way this should have happened. People are find the social justice left so completely awful with its preaching and identity politics that they were willing to elect a deplorable lunatic who doesn't know anything about anything, and your reaction is, "let's try even more preaching and identity politics"?
I know, I know, it's an oversimplification. Lots of factors are at play here. Nor should people stop standing up against discrimination and bigotry. But there are ways to do that. Given what just happened, is it too much to ask to look in the mirror and see if there's a better way to approach these problems that doesn't give ammunition to an authoritarian Biff Tannen impersonator?
Honestly, I get Vlad's reaction to the reactions in here. If not for who the guy is and the danger I think he represents to... er, almost everyone on Earth, I'd also be enjoying the utterly absurd reactions from people like Calgaryblood. It just makes me want to laugh, throw my hands in the air, and say "welp, I guess we're doomed to do this dance forever, then."

Well, sure, but they'd all have guns.
