Yeah, we need to coddle the racists and get to understand their bigotry. Us minorities were just too "uppity" for them.

No statistics on this yet, so yada yada selective filtering whatever this is from just five minutes of looking through my Twitter feed.
This is fucking terrifying
just different opinions.
only 4 years.
They weren't being mended in places that were 99% white people.

It's fucking shameful. 7 million less than last cycle. We have completely fucked this.
The fact that people need to be subject to this sort of extreme terror to maybe consider voting in a damn election is the saddest shit ever.

If I saw it happening I would step in, but I was in the city all day and I didn't see anyone yelling White Power or attacking the LGBT community.
It was just a normal day in Seattle.
You think this sort of attitude, this lazy simplification is going to lead to any progress? Any more democrats in seats?
59,689,467 people are all exactly the same. Confirmed.
No, they're not exactly the same, silly.
They just share these specific attributes.

Yeah OK yourself. Prove me wrong. If your spreading poison then what does that make you?
EVERY TRUMP SUPPORTER IS A BIGOT. I even specifically mentioned that its not all equal, there can be varying degrees of bigotry.
Yes.
59,689,467 people are all exactly the same. Confirmed.
And the sooner you come up from your low horse, the sooner we can work toward progress.
If one supports Trump, one supports bigotry.

As far as OP. That's awful and shameful. I hope those that do such things are brought to justice.
Or they are perfectly ok with the heinous shit trump has said and done.
Either ones just as bad.

Preeeeety sure those folks were talking about the typical Trump voter, not the fraction of shitheels that are now emboldened by his victory and doing this kind of shit. But that's cool.
Yes, Trump winning emboldened racists. Yes, Trump's platform included racism, sexism, etc. No, that doesn't mean that I believe everyone who voted for him voted because of those parts of his platform, though some undoubtedly did. Which is why that statement is typically met with outcry from the people being painted with that brush.
Regardless, this is completely fucked. The animals doing this crap need to be prosecuted. I had hoped for a Hillary win so this shit didn't happen, because I definitely saw it coming.

To be fair, voter suppression laws probably played a big part in this as well.
First poster to prove me wrong this thread!
I don't know much about rural areas but from what I've heard your right.

Maybe all those people yelling about muslims having to speak out against radicals will step up. Maybe the moon is made out of jello.
These poor people
. Fucking hell. Stay fucking safe, Minority-GAF, your extended family, friends and everyone else.The person you're quoting is agreeing with you in the most sarcastic and passive aggressive way possible.

Edit: On second thought, I may be misreading DedValve.
And if trump doesn't come out against it, publicly denounce this shit, it's only going to get worse.

Boy I'm looking forward to Notch telling the three million kids who follow his twitter how these are all leftist false flag operations.

When you are a minority the difference between racists and the people who enable racists is indistinguishable.

Sad, this is the exact type of idiocy that lost Hillary the election and yet you're still too hateful/simple-minded to see it.

Dont kid yourself. This is the natural outcome of electing a white supremacist for President.

Uhh, if they voted for him with all the racist bigoted swill he was spewing, they enabled this. There's no divorcing themselves from that (sizeable) aspect of his campaign.

Friends of Trump: When we talk about empowering racists, it's not some abstract point to win an online argument. Stories like this are exactly what we mean.
One side is apparently allowed to spew their hate here.
Your typical Trump voter doesn't give a damn about this stuff because he typical Trump voter is a bigot.
Not a fraction. His rallies were twenty thousand deep while he was championing violence and exclusion and regression.
However many of those voters aren't racist doesn't really matter. Trump built his political brand and platform on racist, mysogynist, anti Muslim, and anti immigrant sentiments. White supremecists have been very vocal about their support for Trump. If you voted for Trump, and again regardless if you aren't racist, you have given your tacit approval and have helped to validate the opinions of these people.

This is terrifying, I don't know how so many people could be so willing to enable hatred by voting for Trump.
Stay safe, everyone.
Stay safe, everyone.
thanks for this
Not sarcasm, not passive aggressive.
EVERY TRUMP SUPPORTER IS A BIGOT. Thats a fact. And every time I say that it will be bolded and underline because it is fact. Again its not an on/off switch. My mom is a homophobe but she isn't screaming "burn the fags" and never interferes via protest like when marriage equality was still a thing we had to fight for. But she's still a bigot.
Fortunately she didn't vote Trump.
All Trump supporters are bigots. Fact. I'm not saying KKK level bigotry but the more subtle, sinister forms of bigotry are just as damaging perhaps even more so.
Sad, this type of useless post thats also so idiotic it completely ignores the fact that Hillary lost for a variety of reasons most importantly the low voter turnout. But I guess your too busy insulting me to see that ;(

We really need to understand why these people feel this way. Can someone bring them a chair to the table that we are at?

I understand the sentiment, but you're taking the nuance and circumstance out of it. Self defense scenarios are vast and varied, and if suitably provoked and a threat of risk/harm substantiated, I do not foresee your prediction being the norm.
You have got to know your state laws, however.
