I'm trying to comment on multiple posts here.
There were indeed protests against Obama, which were more racially targeted. I specifically remember seeing a protester holding a sign reading "Hang in there Obama" with a noose on the poster. Disgusting. My whole point was that the anti trump protests are on a massive scale. Why? Because the man is a hypocrite and promotes hate and divide, over unity and love. Don't deny this.
There are a lot of people arguing over the question of "Is Donal Trump racist?" Does it matter? He uses racism as a tactic to earn the vote of those people, which is dangerous because it gives the message that it is perfectly okay. What makes me scared...is that there are A LOT of people out there that voted for him based on this message. People are genuinely afraid of what America will be in the next 4 years. Again, whether or not he is racists doesn't change the fact that he is perceived that way. How many people from other countries are now not going to bother going to America? How many students, people training to become doctors, lawyers, whatever, will feel unwelcome or simply afraid. America is going to be perceived as a country that does not want outsiders and it will hurt it in the next decade.
Am I scared of Trump? Sure, even as a Canadian I'm scared. But I'm more scared of the people that surround him. Trump doesn't know what to do and the people around him will take advantage of that. People like the VP, Mike Pence. Here is a man who believes in conversion therapy and supports a bill that allows business to discriminate against the LGBT community.
When Trump was asked, would he appoint justices to overrule the decision on same-sex marriage, his response : “I would strongly consider that, yes.” What??? For a man who has gone on record as saying he does support gays....this seems a tad hypocritical. So who knows what he really thinks, but all the signs point to....well, not very good.
But hey, let's forget about the LGBT community for a second, because that might not affect everyone. But what will? Maybe the EPA? Who has Trump put to spear head that? Myron Ebell, a climate-change denier. Good God.
Who's next Sarah Palin???? Oh wait.....
People out there saying that voting doesn't matter? I think this election proves that it does.
