I'm impressed with his continuing admiration of Hillary, even in defeat. I do envy his passion (something I'm unable to feel about any politician) and his conduct post-election (vocal, yet not a sore loser) is admirable. FF. Glad he's not leaving like some others.

I'm about to be very harsh because tensions are high after this election and he and I have very different accounts of who and what is to blame for the outcome. He probably deserves a fairer shake than what I'm about to give him. Having said that:

The white working class has shown some really ugly cultural attitudes (which, it can't be stressed enough, Trump has actively exacerbated--clearly there are quite a few of these people who weren't always this way, otherwise they wouldn't have voted for Obama twice)--but anybody who would respond by calling them 'stupid rubes' and explicitly conspiring to trick them into thinking their concerns are being represented has just as little place in a left-and-liberal coalition. Those kinds of sentiments can [Inks] off back to the right, where they belong. HP.

HP does not even begin to describe how awful he is.

I used to like him, but there's not way around saying that he's just a huge asshole and hateful HP.

F-ck you all for forcing me to come back out of exile for a single post.

If you think Hagrid is an HP you have no joy in your heart. There is literally nothing wrong with this kid. Nothing. He does nothing to slight anyone. He's been through a lot personally and in many things has done a complete 180. That's not an easy thing to do, and unlike most posters on here has 180ed in a way that actually doesn't make him a crucifix clutching asshole. When I drop by on Facebook he's happy. He's enjoying life and doing and experiencing new things. Let him feel for f-cks sake.

Just wanted to put in my post of support. I really appreciate some of his defenses of Hillary.

I've never had such a break with a poster who I once considered in the upper tier. I'm very disappointed that he is so personally involved in an election where he has nothing at stake other than street-cred with his lefty friends, and is willing to be so hostile and negative to those who dissent. He's like a cartoonish Ayn Rand novel villain who just spits out venomous, elitist talking points. Rand in her novels often used them as a foil of sorts to make her less than savory protagonists look better by comparison. I never thought a real person could act or sound as foolish as the Ellsworth Toohey and Lillian Reardens.

Afleitch and Hagrid talking about "joyful hearts" is rather hilarious. You both seem so miserable when the world around you which you describe to the rest of us has seemingly never been better. I'm glad to see that it only took a few days for you to return as I predicted, though.

Of course confrontation doesn't make people any friends, but I don't need to be friends with many of you. Purple heart

Besides, there are forgotten white guys wearing "Trump that bitch" shirts who could really use your attention and support. Stay cool.

Hagrid is an FF, to be sure.

And I think you're wrong Hagrid:  Confrontation, most of the time, doesn't make friends.  But sometimes it does, and those often tend to be the best of friendships.

As someone who has had a personal history with the guy on this forum (especially with atlasia related sh*t) I vote FF. We've had our disagreements over the years but I genuinely believe he's a good dude. I also appreciate the fact that he has come to see the light as far as US politics is concerned for the most part. (Even if I don't like some of his recent statements regarding white working class people)

I had several disagreements with Hagrid (before he evolved) and disagreed with him quite a lot during this election (despite being actually on the same side).

I won't lie, there was a time I considered him an annoying ass, but we all have wrong impressions, haven't we?

FF. He can be aggressive in his posts, but I don't necessarily mind from him.. Sanchez can be offensive or confrontational sometimes too but I don't really mind it from him as I do others, either.

Mega FF. Without him, Harry realistically could not have gotten to Hogwarts.

Absolutely an FF.

You not liking his hateful posts about those people isn't horribly different than a Republican "not liking" Trump's campaign rhetoric but still voting for him because she thought a $15 minimum wage would drive her dad's local restaurant out of business, and she's a hypothetical voter that would almost surely be condemned here.

What's the reverse of crucifix clutching? (Here I'm not referring to Hagrid.)

Ironically, for his love of Hillary, it's people exactly like him and of his mindset that caused her to lose.  So basically it's his fault.
