At what point is America no longer a safe place for me to live?

I used to do work as an IT field technician (for over 3.5 years with over 1,000 jobs), which sometimes involved going to people's homes to do IT work (troubleshooting their computer, phone installs, etc.)  At least half-a-dozen homes were diehard Trump supporters (Trump flag, FJB flag, giant Trump dolls, posters, buttons, etc.)  To give credit where credit is due, these folks were some of the nicest and polite individuals whom I encountered in my work.  On a few occasions I walked up to their front or back doors with more than a little trepidation, but once inside, things always went smoothly.

Yeah, it's always easy for them to hate immigrants when it's some vaguely defined, annonymous, Mexican monster who's stealing your job.  Not so much when it's an actual person you meet.  

It's always easy to hate trans women when they're these anonymous, random, big, hairy, manly, predatory people in a skirt.  Not so easy when you actually meet me.

It's always easy to hate atheists when they're just some group that you've never actually met anyone from but you hear about all the damage they're doing.  Not as easy when you meet and talk to an atheist.  

It's so easy for them to hate groups of people but when they meet the individual people from those groups, they can always get along.  They can't seem to acknowledge that those groups are made up of the many individuals that they've already met and get along with.
