I'll bet you whine about "angry atheist" stereotyping, too.
You've never been to East Texas, I gather. That's as Deep South as it gets. Try it sometime, no doubt you'll like it there.
Wow.
This is not complicated. We are not living in a time where we can afford the luxury of ignoring a political scapegoating bully like Trump. We know from the past that when politicians go beyond mere disagreement and use vilification where that tactic can lead.
Silence is what allows others to determine your behavior. Speaking out against bullies is what allows you to determine your own behavior.
Using a position if top power to make demands of blind loyalty and using scapegoating as a political tactic is dangerous rhetoric.
If someone supports him, sorry, there is no polite way to put it, they are complicit.
No president, in my lifetime, not even Bush Jr, Bush Sr, Reagan or Ford ever ran their campaigns like 45 has. This is not politics as normal.
I am not about to coddle the insecurities of those whom support a scapegoating bully.

No there is no blame on many sides. There is only one politician setting up the conditions with his vile rhetoric.
