Are you still grieving? You are not alone.

As a Trump supporter myself I'm not going to call you any names, and would actually like to hear your concerns about Trump. Honestly I'd like to hear the specifics which would be good to talk about so we could find some common ground and maybe I could help remove some of the fears, or at least give you the opportunity to talk. I promise to not be judgemental on your thread, and just would really like to hear about what is troubling you.

I'll bite:
-He's a classic narcissist who cannot handle any sort of criticism at all. Examples: The comments about having small hands, the SNL skits, the Vanity Fair article. His tweets are painful. While he is tweeting stupid things, Aleppo is being bombed to smithereens while we watch live on Twitter. He isn't president yet, but he could at least have a modicum of sensitivity to that and shut the fuck up on Twitter about his retarded thoughts.
-His total disregard for any sort of diplomatic precedent is going to get us fucking killed.
-His proposal that Muslims be registered somehow....Too much no in that to even think about.
-His RETARDED proposal to "build a wall"
-He is "too smart" for intelligence briefings. Is is Candid Camera? What the fuck is that?!
-He's a sexist pig. Do I need to elaborate?
-His cabinet appointments are terrifying. Climate change deniers, evolution deniers, Big Business moguls, anti-choice, uber-Christian women-controlling dirtbags.

I'll stop there for now.

Of course, I fully support your free speech and your ability to call whoever you want a racist. However you can't argue that you are in favor of political correctness because it's respectful dialog and at the same time call people racist all will nilly. Calling someone a racist isn't respectful. That's where political correctness loses me. It seems more a cover for people to be insulting and offended at the same time.

If you say something racist, you risk being called a racist.

OK, well thanks for the response. I agree he should calm the rhetoric and act more diplomatically, but kind of enjoy a non politician being real. Understand the concerns though of how others perceive it, trust me I do.

Regarding the Muslims, that's really just the Muslim refugees that are coming in, not really all Muslim citizens. It's a response to ISIS threats to infiltrate refugees to infiltrate their target nations.

We already have a fence on our southern border, so the wall would just be reinforcing what we have to protect national sovereignty. Kind of comes down to protecting American tax payer interests and security issues. I understand some people think we should have no borders because we are all people, but that is simply not viable due to other factors such as trade deficits, and actual security.

He's getting intel briefings actually from the DNI which is the umbrella organization which covers all intel agencies. Also keep in mind under the NDAA the law was reversed that propaganda which before was only lawful to be spread to other nations can now be spread in our news media. Granted it's been going on forever, but now it's lawful.

Sexist? Sure I guess but what man or women isn't the same. Are you saying you don't talk about guys or girls with your girlfriends in a way that you may be embarrassed to talk about publicly? 

All that being said, I do understand the concerns and not discounting them as illegitimate. I'm more interested in building the economy, and reversing the trade deficit we have, which will bring economic security and freedom to all citizens along with prosperity which should alleviate some of the social justice inequality we have. That's one thing the progressive left doesn't focus on. What's best for all of America. Not what's best for just certain groups. Find the root cause of the problems and offer cures rather then bandaids. It's not just racism or the patriarchy. What are the principles that all humans want? That's what we should focus on as we move forward.
