I countered stating that his hatred was due to his bigotry. He countered that Barack Obama was a racist and that Michelle was just like Oprah and he hated her too. I pointed out the commonality that Michelle and Oprah shared. He also complained that black people voted for Obama because of his skin color. His argument, ultimately, was that black people voted.
The second poster was also a trumplodyte whose only contribution was name calling and attempted intimidation.

I could have spent hours pointing out their hypocrisy but it would have been wasted time. The fact of the matter is these Drumpf supporters are incapable of deep cognition. Since reasoning with them is impossible, our time is better spent dealing with and planning for the harsh eventualities that may arise.
