Again, I just think it interesting that Trump was literally saying this exact thing when Obama was elected. The man we put in office literally said, "Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice". We can't pretend like the people who dislike this outcome and are protesting are completely in the wrong here. They are in the wrong to Trump supporters because they disagree. But the man you all voted for was calling on people to do these same exact things. I have zero issues with Trump supporters. I just think we have to look at all angles sometimes.
I agree with your second point. No minds will be changed. But sometimes these conversations are interesting as long as they remain respectful.
It goes deeper than that. This nation was founded on certain principles, and the founders had a vision for the power to remain in the hands of we the people. Over the years, those powers have eroded, and if you've paid any attention to what's been going on over the past 8 years, then you've noticed that the erosion have reached new heights. Plain and simple, he was a bully, and he used his color, his status as the first black President and the help of an obedient press to do things contrary to the way the founders had intended. People wanted the "un-American vision" of BHO to fail, not the man himself. The President-elect was chosen, in part, to rectify the damage caused by that vision. I'm not going to waste my time going into details. To say that Trump has spoken hurtful things and then turn around and downplay the hurtful things spoken by the loser is hypocritical. Anyway, I've got to get ready for work. Take care and have a great day.
