Crooked Hillary!

So you're afraid of words? Okay. The law exists to punish those who commit crimes. This fear mongering bullpomegranate needs to stop. Have there been a few outbreaks of racism and bigotry as a result of the election? Most likely. Does that mean Trump actually condones it or that it's his fault? pineapple no. Quit drinking the far left kool-aid, man. I'd expect more skepticism from a guy like you, Bryan.

I don't think he condones it. I think Trump was brilliant in the sense that he knew that was the way to garner his initial support. Republicans/Anti-Clinton groups outplayed Democrats in political tactics by a long shot once he started moving away from racism and more towards moderate Republican ideals.
A person's actions are never anyone's blame but their own, but to say that his rhetoric didn't bring those qualities out in the easily-swayed less-educated individuals is just wrong. These people have always been racist, and my problem is that America voted to legitimize that racism.
My district voted Trump. Most of my neighborhood is Trump supporters. Some of my family voted for Trump. I know they aren't racist (well, I can't say so for some of my family). I know they don't want rights taken away. They just wanted change from the establishment. The sad truth is that there are a disturbingly large number of extremely racist and hateful supporters who now believe their hatred is justified, and this election has convinced more people to believe it's ok to be hateful.

I agree that we needed change from establishment. I just don't think Trump's platform was the correct platform to do that on.
