You gotta see it from their POV. They've probably spent considerable time trying to convince themselves and others that we -weren't- a bunch of racist twatwaffles. Turns out they were wrong about that, lol.
I live in a place where I am literally surrounded by white Trump supporters, and what did I do when my kid didn't want to trick or treat at houses that had Trump signs? I told her they are good people, too, tolerance and understanding, blah blah blah.
Seems like I tolerated this right into office.
These people aren't living on foodstamps, they own their homes and get by fine. They just wanted to throw a grenade at Washington, and I let it happen.
