I can't wrap my head around how some people could support this overt bullying/bigotry/racism and in every case either make apologies for it like "Oh he's a changed man now" or "The media is taking his words out of context, he's not really a racist/bigot/etc". It's frankly depressing in many ways that his behavior has been rewarded and anyone who thinks that his behavior will change after the inauguration is fooling themselves. Our country is in for dark days. I just hope that there's not such irreparable harm that it can't be fixed.
