In reply to the discussion: So when you say he "fought for you," you mean he validated your hate. [View all]Oopsie Daisy
(4,098 posts)37. I remember how his hatred and bigotry was dismissed...
It really upset me when someone said: "I think many of Trump's supporters are not racists, not sexists, not homophobes. I think there are a lot of people who are angry and they're angry because they're working longer hours for lower wages, they're angry because their jobs have left this country and gone to China or other low-wage countries, they're angry because they can't afford to send their kids to college so they can't retire with dignity."
This was a very myopic and self-serving position to take, wouldn't you agree?
