Are Trump supporters human beings?

[Tiggeroshii]

The heavy dismissal of those with opposing views here is leading me to wonder if many of us believe that those who voted for a Neanderthal to be President of the US, are in fact, human.

1. They are, I'm not

I grew up amongst them. They are definitely human. I'm a new species.

[AmandaRuth]

2. of course they are human

just not humans i wish to be around

[Initech]

3. I really wonder how many Trump fans on Twitter / Facebook with cute female icons are bot accounts.

There's no way people can be that ugly, can they? I'd be willing to bet 95% of them are fake accounts.

[Tiggeroshii]

5. And of course how many votes were not actually by humans?

But instead Russian coding embedded through corrupted machinery?

I tend to wonder how many actual human votes trump received.

4. human beings can be repulsive scumbags. just look at Trump . but Eric Trump is the one who said

democrats aren't human.

[Solly Mack]

6. Of course they are human.

Unpleasant humans, but still human.

Humans I don't want in my house, but still human.

Humans I wouldn't be friends with, but still human.

Humans who I want to be fed, clothed, housed, have health care, living wages, any needed safety nets, affordable childcare, education that includes actual science, and for them to live in a country where discrimination and bigotry are not acceptable and are both actively discouraged - through nurture, education, and where needed, by law.

Yes, they are human - but they don't want the same for this human do they?

[Tiggeroshii]

7. I guess abandoning our humanity in favor of our resentments and fears is in itself

Very human :/

[JI7]

8. that's what Trump supporters do . they cheer on the deportations and bans of entire peoples

they love the racism and other bigotry from trump against others.

you have problems with people who complain about them on a message board but nobody here is calling for laws that would deny them health care and many other things.

[Tiggeroshii]

10. Um. I'm talking about trump supporters.

And no. I don't have problems with complaining about them on message boards.

[JI7]

12. then you should understand hwy people here may not think well of them

[Tiggeroshii]

13. Oh I do.

believe me

I think it would be swell for you to understand why many should fear the divisive nature that is permeated from the microaggressions and provocations that those idiots throw out.

[AmandaRuth]

9. standing up to racism and sexism

is the opposite of fear and resentment. I think so anyway.

[Tiggeroshii]

11. Agreed. Again I'm referring to the trump supporters in that post.

[Solly Mack]

18. Sadly, it is.

But that doesn't make it right or even understandable - as in, that's understandable so we'll give you a pass kind of way.

When you fear the most, you cling harder to your humanity.

[Tiggeroshii]

20. Yeah

[BigmanPigman]

14. I encountered several at the Impeachment March yesterday in San Diego.

They were called the Proud Boys and came down from LA to start fights, incite violence and make it impossible to hear the guest speakers through their megaphone sirens. The cops did nothing until an assembly person called the chief of police. I have to say they acted sub-human. We were calm and peaceful and in comparison we were stellar human beings. As I walked to my car a pro-Trump supporter and I were on the same route and were very nice to one another and chatted. Perhaps this was because we are women and not full of testosterone.

[Tiggeroshii]

15. My experience is they work in ways to provoke and incite in order to make us look like the aggressor

And when it doesn't work they go into full aggression mode and hurt people.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Their plan backfired. In fact it made us cheer louder to drown them out.

And by being peaceful they got more frustrated. It was pleasant to see the result.

[Tiggeroshii]

17. That makes me happy

Nice job!

[treestar]

19. They are just that among humans

there are huge differences in curiosity, brain power and wilful delusion.
