4. You still believe anything Trump says.
None of those reflect the definition of the sociological phenomenon. If you are going to use the term, it might be good to understand it.
I understand very well what the current definition of snowflake is - it is a rather stupid attempt to insult those who don't bow down to King Trump. I will continue to point out the ignorance and laugh at Trump supporters who are the one's who their definition of snowflake really fit.
I cannot find that definition, possibly you could cite a source. I believe this is the more commonly used one - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Snowflake

Could be, actually. I have been saying for years that if the Republicans did not start paying attention to the needs of the middle and lower classes in this country, there was going to be violence. I still compare the Republican dreams to the Cuban dictator Batista and we know what happened to him.
Ignore the needs of the people at your peril. I suspect you may just be right. (No pun intended)
Considering who elected President Trump, I'd say that seem more like. "Rise workers, you have nothing to loose but your shackles" - hmmm, where did I hear that?? But wait - it was middle America and the workers that elected him. So confusing.
Or how about - "You don't like the outcome of an election - go out and beat someone up". My, my, my.
Well - liberals who never before owned firearms are now purchasing handguns and getting those ubiquitous "shall issue" concealed carry permits at a rate that has increased over three-fold, and is still increasing since the election...
More and more people are becoming aware of the fact that they are not obligated by any law anywhere to talk to police or answer any police questions without first consulting an attorney.
Lots and lots of people - many of them people who didn't vote for the orange bum-fodder - are getting "uppity".
They represent the majority.
Make of it what you will...
O.K. - the new mantra of the radical left, "You don't like the outcome of an election - go out and beat someone up shoot someone". My, my, my.

For a Poster that is so concerned about - Definitions & Syntax - you might want to review your own Posts for accuracy................................
I haven't seen or heard of one - Blackflake or Brownflake or Yellowflake or Redflake or even a Snowflake on this Forum calling for the Overthrow of the US Government and again you might want to re-think your own word usage and meaning ............................apparently you seem to be agreeing with a majority of the rest of us albeit unintentionally
Trump himself and many of his supporters think he is - "The Government" - they don;t really understand how the US Government works and they certainly do not understand the US Constitution or the three different but equal branches of the US Government - to many of the rest of us - that's the Problem - Trump thinks and he acts like he's a Dictator and thats just one of the Good Reasons why he should be removed..................................................
BTW - the term - Snowflake - is nothing more than a slang - there is no correct definition - it's been used by many different people in as many different groups to mean several different things depending on the context - using the term in a US Prison has a much different meaning than using it in a Norman Rockwell Setting or apparently on this forum
What do you think it means?

Not really. They were mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. So they elect Trump and Trump screws them. What do you think the next step will be?

Re: You might be a Snowflake
You might be an orange buttflake if...
...you think the reason you lost your job was NAFTA and not your boss.
...peaceful protests against police brutality directed against minoritys upsets you more than violent, deadly police brutality directed against minoritys.
...if you refuse to support children you demand be borne by women who do not want them.
...BLM sounds racist
...you oppose celebrating MLK Day
...you think people hiring illegal immigrants should be exempt from legal action.
...95 unaviodable minutes at Benghazi troubles you more than 9.5 YEARS of totally avoidable war in Iraq and Afghanistan that killed 5000 brave Americans, maimed 50,000 and left over a million with PTSD while costing us $4 TRILLION.
