really wish that these liberals would stop throwing temper tantrums and get behind and support Trump
You mean the same way conservatives got behind Obama in 2008? When they publicly vowed to oppose him at every turn, to devote their lives to making him a one term president, instead of governing? Republicans literally shut down the federal government in protest.
I cannot fathom how those same people are now expecting Democrats to forgive and forget and just fall in line.
Even if you disagree with Obama's policy positions, he was at least a decent human being. I'm not looking forward to the first state of the union address where Trump says Angela Merkel is fat.
Temper tantrums aside, it's pretty ludicrous to expect anyone, conservative, liberal, libertarian, or whatever, to support ANY candidate whose platform is full of things that they fundamentally oppose as being acceptable. Nor is it moral to do so, in my opinion. We SHOULD stand up and resist and oppose things we find unacceptable. To that extent, as frustrating as I personally found 8 years of GOP obstruction to the Obama administration, I can kinda squint and see how the resistors were being true to their moral codes.
I support nonviolence. I support peaceful transition of power. I am unlikely to support much of anything Trump and the GOP does or attempts to do, and I'm not going to. Ever. Because their agenda is mostly composed of elements that I find completely unacceptable and destructive. This doesn't having anything to do with Trump personally (though I find him unqualified and personally repugnant). However, if he promotes policies that I agree with, I will support him on those policies, regardless of how unacceptable I find him as a person or a leader.
As an example, I found George W Bush to be lacking in traits I personally would prefer in a leader, but not entirely repugnant. However, I found his policies and administration mostly reprehensible, and would consider myself morally compromised if I had 'fallen in line' and supported them for the 'good of the country'. On the other hand, I wholeheartedly and vocally supported a few of his policies and attempted policies, that I believed WERE for the good of the nation. Same with Obama, who I find personally very impressive, and whose policies and vision I mostly support. But a few of his policies I find unacceptable, and I oppose them.
It's not reasonable to ask people to put aside their fundamental values for the good of the 'team'.
