@X: I appreciate the comments you have made.
I feel you are wrong on two points, however: 1. There are people on this board that do support Trump (and voted for him, I gather), and 2. That actually people who do support someone who is known to be racism, etc, is in fact, supporting racist, etc. So long we put people into power that promise to do harm to minorities, we support harm to minorities.
1: I am absolutely aware that there're people on the board who supported & voted for Trump, so I don't think that I can be wrong on that point.
2: Your second point is off simply because that's not how support like that works from a basic logical standpoint when it comes to prioritization at a basic psychological level. Let me boil this down to give you a bare-bones example.
• Candidate A is openly racist & sexist, but is very nationalist and concerned with American superiority.
• Candidate B is unreliable with high level national security, but is very concerned with equality.
- If you support Candidate A, you're a self-absorbed racist and sexist.
- If you support Candidate B, you're a myopic imbecile who would rather risk the country's safety to protect the minority, despite the fact that if we all fall, they fall, too.
- If you support Candidate C-F, you're whichever of the above failed to win.
> Supporters of Candidate A don't have to be sexist and racist if they think that the issue of preserving national security and improvement is the most important issue for a President.
> Supporters of Candidate B don't have to want to tear the country apart into a weak socialist fairytale if they think that social issues of equality of its citizens are the most important issue for a President.
> Supporters of Candidates C-F don't have to feel either of those ways because they prioritize something else entirely for what they want in a President.
Are racists and sexists going to be incredibly vocal about supporting Candidate A now that they won?
Absolutely.
Are the other Candidate A supporters going to be glad their candidate won, but also a bunch of them feel uncomfortable that that was their only option, because it brought in the bad shit with the thing that they felt was important?
Hell yeah.
Does it do any good to tell all the Candidate A supporters that they're most terrible scum of the Earth for electing a candidate who's such a piece of shit, and they're just as bad as the worst people who also supported Candidate A, when the election was between the two least popular candidates in history?
No. Way.
That's why the numbers in the election skewed heavily with Minorities voting Clinton and Whites voting for Trump because both sides are most motivated by things preying on those demographic's biggest fears – which are just different versions of a fear of safety for self.
And that's what the issue is. The majority of people are just looking for a form of safety that's most applicable to them, but there is a toxicity to any group that wants to use that safety to attack other people. Racism hides under the banner of safety from foreign invasion and oppression, but just because you REALLY, GENUINELY care about safety from foreign invasion doesn't mean that you're unquestionably racist.
If we attack the other side like they're all a caricatured version of the worst that that side has to offer, all we're doing is making each other less safe and making the safety we're all looking for less possible by refusing to work together. That's the number one issue of bipartisan politics, because everything becomes emotionally charged contempt for the other side by falling into an intractable us-or-them mentality rather than attempting to focus on our similarities.
It's our political system making us refuse to work together, rather than bringing us together, and unless we CAN come together, we're never gonna be able to fix this thing and build a better system that will help us STAY together and actually focus on the shitty things lurking in both camps.
