Your thoughts on the protests

But that's the thing. I said "They very reluctantly voted for Trump." "They did not like Trump."

I don't want to attack your parents. Sadly I have to pick this up, since you present that example for the second time. It doesn't matter how reluctant they were. If they didn't like Trump or Clinton they could have stayed at home. By voting for Trump they were endorsing what he represented thoughout his campaign. They contributed to the victory of a man spewing nothing but hatred and exclusion as the main ticket he was running on.

I could never do that. I despise people doing something like that. Quite a big issue for me, given that my family was persecuted some 80 years ago. Never, never in my whole life, will I muster any kind of understanding for people taking that train. Nor do I want to. They are aiding and abettíng that mindset. They are aiding and abetting hatred, exclusion and resentment against whole demographics. Their reasons for doing so don't matter to me at all, since it was a voluntary decision to go out and vote for that creature.
