(2,798 posts)What I want to know is this. Where are all of the "good" non racist, un-bigoted Trump voters right now. Where are they on these increasingly common attacks on people of Jewish, Muslim, LGBT, Black, Hispanic, etc backgrounds? Are any of these people stepping up to protect those in their neighborhoods that aren't white? Are they speaking up for those not their neighbors and the children of those that aren't their neighbors who are being assaulted elsewhere? Or are they milling about whining like who bitches about how we are calling them racist and bigoted?
If they are NOT racist, bigoted, whatever then STAND UP. Don't sit and wait for somebody else to fix it or say that it'll quiet down after a while. If they are indeed not evil assholes and were misguided by the lies that streamed out of Trumps cat anus of a mouth, then fine; but dammit I don't want to hear another complaint about them being talked down on as long as they refuse to acknowledge what their comrades in arms are CURRENTLY, ACTIVELY doing RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN in the name of the guy they collectively voted for.
If they aren't racists then they are sniveling cowards. Let's not upset or offend all the sick and vicious sickos around them. The rest of us be damned so that they can keep on living in their own little personal safe space realities where everything is hunky dory... for them.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.
