Decision 2016

Here I was worried we'd have problems with Trump supporters pitching a fit- turns out I should've been worried about the Clinton supporters, too. Guess the two groups aren't as different as they make themselves out to be.

What caused you to worry about Trump supporters? Was there some sort of problems with them during the campaign?

Right. A problem with these guys? Naaaahhh. They're harmless. And their parade for Trump, when they didn't parade for any other President? A coincidence, I'm sure.

Swamper, I have no idea what you're talking about, and that's probably for the best.

Trump's campaign featured material swiped from white supremacist groups, and he has personally demonstrated racism, sexism, and xenophobic prejudices. It is possible to have voted for him (or not voted for him) and still to acknowledge these things, which are demonstrably true. If, in turn, you (generic "you," not any one person) can acknowledge those things are true, then you will understand why minorities may be nervous right now, and why some others might be nervous on their behalf, too.

Let us hope that everything is fine, but it is reasonable to fear it is not. Don't judge others for their anxiety; you would not, I'm sure, wish to be judged similarly yourself.
