Why? Because Trump Supporters and Democrats ARE fundamentally different.
I don’t think that’s true, at all. I’ve been lucky enough to have some conversations with Trump voters and they have indeed said some dumb ass shit. But nothing unexpected, they’re all from fox n shit
After we get past the fox talking points and bullshit we are the same.

Sure, in a few cases. In others, it was more on the tune of:
“I voted for Trump because he’s going to raise taxes on the poor so they pay their fair share”
or
“I voted for Trump because he promised to get rid of illegal immigrants. Just because there aren’t many in my state doesn’t mean they’re not CRIMINALS who should be removed at all costs!”
or
“I voted for Trump because he’s going to do some crazy stuff like leave the Paris Climate Agreement. This is going to be fucking entertaining and I’ll have my popcorn. People are gonna get PISSSSSED”
or
“I really don’t like Trump, but no politician is perfect and I’m willing to deal with Trump because he’s going to help us finally ban abortion”.
Need I keep going? I blame them all.
No, but you do need to take a deep breath, because you’re talking a lot more than you’re saying in anger.
Dont be angry at me for telling you this, that’s not why I’m saying it. I’m saying it because i believe that anger is causing you to lose your objectivity.
And please, take one more breath if you’re planning another diatribe… the whole point of my initial comment, to say we “shouldnt give in to the urge to dehumanize our opponents”. Isnt an invitation for you to demonstrate precisely what i just said not to do.
I’m not angry right now. I’m just telling it like it is to me.
Please be careful not to think you read emotions into comments when they might not be there.
