You voted for him knowingly.
At the very least that makes you an enabler. You cheered a man on knowing his racist, sexist and bigoted views then rewarded him with your vote then you agreed to enable those views.
It is like Solicitation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solicitation
By voting for trump you gave him the thumbs up to assault women. He is a serial abuser and you approved his message. Assault is a crime.
You approved his request to have Russia hack our elections. Treason. That is a crime.
You cheered when he said supporters should use their second amendment
right to stop Hillary. Murder is a crime.
Rounding up Muslims, building walls, mass deportations, blacks are lazy thugs, calling Mexicans rapists, take away LGBT rights all racist bigoted hate and crimes against humanity.
You enabled a man child who sits on his gold toilet at 3 AM tweeting juvenile threats and bullying US citizens. He is creating global incidents around the world before he even is in office. He thinks our nuclear arsenal is a shiny new toy to play with. You enabled the most unfit man child ever to be elected to the highest office because he said he would make America great/ white again.
You all will be held responsible for the hate crimes and bloodshed that has already started and will continue to escalate.

The rest just scare the Hell out of me. We live on our Social Security (that we paid into for 40 years). We are both still alive due to Medicare. My MIL was able to spend her last few months in a compassionate nursing facility due to Medicaid. And he wants to take all that away and use it to give tax cuts to millionaires.
Thanks Trump voters. Thanks a bunch!

(5,170 posts)I also think you may misunderstand your fellow DUers entreaties to treat other voters as humans instead of troglodytes as pleas for "sympathy." I think it is a plea for humanity you hear. When you deny the humanity of those you disagree with, your insistence on human rights for all will fall on some deaf ears of folks who feel you think they're beneath contempt. Put out in the world what you'd like to get back.

(83,751 posts)They showed us no humanity with their vote. They voted to destroy all we as DEMOCRATS hold dear. They voted against safety nets for everyone of us including themselves. They are deaf, dumb and blind. America died on election day. I feel nothing for those that voted for so many to die without SS, Medicare, the 20 million on ACA. They voted against our basic rights as citizens of the United States. They voted against America.

(83,751 posts)Trashing Trumpettes is click bait???
On a Democratic board???
I can do better than this???
Care to explain that one???
My response is to all the threads that we should give hugs and forgive all the trump voters, they know not what they did. We need to reach out and embrace them. They just destroyed this world as we know it. Our safety nets are going away. SS. Medicare. ACA. HUD. Snaps. Women's rights. Equal rights. Our environment. War is in our future, one that we will not survive and here you tell my post is click bait.
Nope not ever. I will never embrace those that want to destroy the people and world that I love.
Canetoad...you can do better than that.

(17,154 posts)You are talking to an audience who is just not here.
They are on other boards, like Freepville, Stormfront and worse (if there is worse). I'm not disagreeing with the message you are conveying but with your method.
OK, at best the OP can be considered a literary device; an open call-out. But don't you think this is a bit over done and over worked? You are calling out people who are not here, to a captive audience. That's why I said you can do better.
Maybe I'm weary of the dearth of logical, do-able suggestions to start opposing DFT. There are only so many names he can be called, so many insults.... What is needed now is good, honest discussion about the trials ahead. Not more playing to the captive audience.
I admire your passion and vehemence. Just think it could be better directed.

(83,751 posts)Well, I believe many of them are here.
If you are saying Donnie and his supports should not be called out here.... why are we even here?
We need to fight the don and find a way to defeat him. Multiple threads pleading for compassion for trump supporters here is overworked and frankly nauseating.
