Not all Trump voters are racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. The vast majority aren't. But nearly everyone who is racist, sexist, and homophobic voted for Trump. Trump made it OK to do those things publicly with his hateful rhetoric. I pray that he was going overboard to win votes, but.... We won't know. What I do know is his VP is a nut job (see his views on "conversion therapy" for gays), he is going to put two dangerous people in the Cabinet (Rudy and Newt), and that one party now controls the Executive and Legislative branches (not to mention will get to likely name TWO justices to the Judicial). You never want one party to fully control the executive and legislative, as you lose some of the power of checks/balances.

Trump's campaign made it OK to be openly racist and homo/zenophobic, and that scares me. The only thing we can hope for now is that human decency wins out over the hate. The people posting nasty things and saying nasty things are the fringe minority, just like bad cops, but they get the most attention. Weed them out and deal with them, that's all we can do.

This campaign truly showed how divided this nation is. We need to heal, and badly. We also need MUCH better candidates in 2020, because these two were utter garbage.

Solid job destroying any potential credibility in your post right out of the gate.

His views on his treatment of Muslims in particular do not sit well with me. If he would just lay off that, I would be ok with it. I still hopefully believe that his past liberal views on women's rights and gay marriage come back so that while I know he won't do anything for them, he will hopefully just do nothing at all and push ahead other aspects of his agenda that he values more.

I also don't care that much about how he is as a person. I assume most politicians are closet shitbags or assholes and he just sucks at hiding it.

I talked about his views on LGBT Wednesday night at dinner. We had some friends over (yes, a lesbian couple and for that matter an African-American, and an Asian) and politics was obviously the big topic. Their whole concern wasn't that he was going to do something inherently bad on a national level, but that he'd push everything relating to it down to the state level... and in our case here in Ohio, that could be really bad for them. I'm admittedly not very well versed in nuances of the federal vs. state legislation, but the concept of him pushing it all to the states does seem like something he would do.

Because you're showing only 1 side, so it's probably important to show that it's going on on both sides.


You actually began posting about all the pro-Trump hate, so I guess your point goes back to you, why didn't you post about both sides and instead chose to only focus on 1 side?

United We Dream... George Soros funded. I'm sure you are aware of who he is and what his connections are. It's one of a few organizations behind them. Beyond that, yes, there are genuinely unaffiliated people doing it as well.

People protested when Obama was voted in and you dont see Obama tweeting about it. Donald Trump needs to shut his fucking mouth and learn to run a country..not tweet.

also it's ok when Trumps sad, but when he wins it changes his tone...

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

personally and on a global scale this scares me

Donald Trump presidency a 'disaster for the planet', warn climate scientists: 'At the heart of his energy and climate thinking is an “America first” policy where “draconian climate rules” are repealed and the US escalates its production of coal, oil and natural gas.'

this election has officially divided America. reading FB comments is comical. Now I know it's the lowest form of education but man.. I read this one from a christian fella who was mad at Mike Evans for kneeling..

Sonino Scardelletti TAMPA BAY WIDE-RECEIVER MIKE EVANS: ANOTHER NFL "RACE CARD" PLAYER SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS!

Sunday Buccaneers wide-receiver Mike Evans did not stand during the National Anthem and his reason for doing so? President Donald Trump!

Evans stated:

"It's not about the Republican Party or the Democratic Party or anything like that. It's just who he is. It's well-documented what he's done. I'm not going to stand for something I don't believe in. That's the end of that"

Spoken like a true Al Sharpton wannabe "Race Card" player! What is "Well-Documented" about Trump that is so awful? Huh? Someone ask this jackass and he'll have no answer that holds water.

But listen up. This NFL ingrate knows that in America Blacks are murdering Blacks DAILY! Black babies are being exterminated in abortion DAILY! And Black kids are being raised in fatherless homes by the millions DAILY! But is Mike Evans protesting that? Nope! "Race Card" players like Evans only protest White people, NEVER Black!

This is just another reason I will NEVER watch or support the National Football League and here's hoping others follow suit.

God Bless
