I don't have a horse in this race. I voted for none of the above.

When Dotard Drumpf is the ultimate snowflake, his ignorant followers are rightly deserving of the title "snowflake."
I voted for none of the above as well..

Some days the left is calling Trump a snowflake and some days they are calling him a fascist. So who is bipolar here, the lefties or Trump or both?

I don't see those terms as being mutually exclusive. We have a "president" ranting on twitter about NFL players when there are way more serious issues that need to be dealt with. If you don't see that as snowflake tendencies I don't know what to tell you.

Which is why I think that they have become meaningless in current usage. As has much of our political "discourse". They mean totally opposite things, but both sides are accusing the other of being both things at the same time. So it all just becomes psychobabble, just empty name calling like bands of apes screeching at each other in the jungle.

"Snowflake" as originally used in political discussions referred to someone that didn't want to face reality, that wanted a safe space where they wouldn't hear or be offended by views other than their own beliefs. They wanted to retreat to isolation. That hardly describes Trump ranting about football players.
So the word has become politically meaningless.

They can't stand that they, the Kings of Labels, had one stick to them, so this is all an attempt to claim this one too.
I chuckle at the thought that conservatives are snowflakes. There's a reason why our military is predominantly conservative.
Imagine if our current civil war of words escalated to a physical civil war. Line up all the men at the Mississippi, with liberals on the west side and conservatives on the east. Which side will you bet on to win this one?

Gee, the POTUS speaking out against people disrespecting the flag,
what a loose cannon.
If YOU can't see that, I don't know what to tell you.
Well, I do, but TOS prevent me.

Fact is fact, Trump won the fight with the NFL protest nonsense, as Goodell is backing down to keep the sponsors happy....Next.

Maybe Goodell got scared when you asked for his replacement about a week ago.
