Of course, only white people are racist. Have you ever heard black people talk about Asians? Or Hispanics about African-Americans? Or people making fun of curry Indians? No, everything is Whitey’s fault.

Yeah, I don’t think you’re really reading Jezebel if you’ve missed the MORE TEARS! IM LITERALLY SHAKING! IM IN THERAPY! and the assorted caterwauling.

If you can understand that not every Muslim is a terrorist surely it is not that much of a stretch to understand that not every Trump voter is a racist, homophobic, misogynistic scum. Because that is literally the same thing as insisting all Muslims are members of Al-Qaida. Inaccurate and patently false.

Are you curious at all that Trump improved on the GOP’s share of the PoC vote than the previous Republican nominee? I think it’s fascinating actually looking at the numbers. His white share vote is about the same. No massive spike in “racist white voters!”

Job security, food on the table and your family’s safety can often override some potential nebulous idea of “oppression” happening elsewhere. Sad but true.

This was one of my big reasons. One presidency in the family is more than enough. I’ll say the same if Michelle Obama, Ivanka Trump or Chelsea Clinton decides to run. The other was the behavior of the press during the campaign season. With Trump they’ll be a watchdog (hopefully) than a lap dog lobbing soft-ball…

Precisely. Ask 10 people what they think racism and bigotry is and to provide an example. You’ll get 10 different answers and explanations.

This, I must concede, I’ve pondered over. I do 500 things in the course of my daily life. How come one vote is so instrumental in determining everything else in my life and all that I hold hear. It’s bizarre. I had a white liberal Democrat female end a decade long friendship because how dare I, a brown immigrant from…

Precisely. Everyone gets one vote to do with as they please. Most choose to exercise it in their self-interest, however they conceive of it. If you choose to exercise it in the collective good, so to speak, then good for you but bullying and shaming people for their vote seems counterproductive to me. Understanding…

This. #1 reason Republicans I know who hated Trump still voted for him. SCOTUS picks.

This. John Stewart made this point eloquently about treating Trump voters as a monolith. If Trump voters take on all of his qualities and characteristics, I have to assume that Clinton voters are okay with calling black youth “super predators” and painting certain women as “bimbos and trash”? Since she also received…

I could tell you why I as a minority woman, first generation legal immigrant from India, now naturalized US citizen (held my nose and) voted for Trump. But what’s the point, you’ve already decided I am a racist, sexist, horrible, garbage person beyond redemption.

Every nation has immigration policies. By nature, they are discriminatory.

Sure, he “lost” the election by 2.9 millions votes. Now if only that’s how elections in the United States of America were determined.

Thank you for posting that because on Jezebel many seem to sincerely hold the belief that the definition of treason is “Trump waking up in the morning.”

How does equal protection under the first amendment equal safe space now?

I know plenty of gay guys who voted for Trump. Because gay may not be the only sole trait on which they may base their entire political ideology on. Like my entire existence is not hinged on “immigrant.” Not everyone votes based on skin color, gender and sexual orientation.

Sure, when you’ve decided your cause is righteous and you’re standing up to bigots, it can feel like everyone else is a bigot. While you literally begin to embody the very definition of a bigot. Good job.

So suppression of free speech and thought, in other words, totalitarianism is a good thing as long as it’s the good guys doing it? God, liberalism like yours must be a hell of a drug.

Yup, shutting down people you don’t agree with may feel wonderful until that tactic is then used against you to silence you.
