Your thoughts on the protests

[abaris]

 

What I'm saying is, I'm not going to raise my arms up and say that these people - my dad, my friends, and everyone else who very reluctantly voted for Trump bc they wanted to stop Hillary who they thought was a worse choice, are bad, bigoted, racist people.  

There's a limit to my tolerance. If it comes to people shoving something like that on all of us - it happens in Europe too, after all - my will to show some kind of understanding reaches it's limits. There's a red line I'm not willing to cross, and that's to support that kind of message. If you don't understand what I'm saying here, talk to the descendants of Holocaust survivors and see what they make of Trump's statements. Just now it's just words, but there's no limit to human depravity, given the right circumstances. And history has shown numerous times where hate can take us.

Contempt is the friendliest feeling I can muster for people voting some creature like that into any office. And that's following the biblical line of forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.

As I said, be quick to judge and write people off if you will. Personally I'm not in the business of doing that.

Not a problem. I haven't got any friends or family who would ever vote for something like that.
