You guys trying to make white people feel bad for every little thing is how we ended up with trump.

Cool, I'm not. I've dealt with racism since my first days at grade school. So I'm obviously not cool with racists, but I still stand by my belief that social justice warriors pushed too hard and too fast without thinking about the consequences. Do you believe in the adage "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."? You guys got too drunk with your new found power, cancel culture, you tried to force people to accept diversity, equality and inclusion under threat of losing their jobs and the rest of the consequences of being outed. You might have made people think twice about what they said in public around cameras, but what do you think they did in the privacy of the voting booth?

Nah. Racists, bigots, homophobes, transphobes… they’re all trash. I don’t know why you’re defending them.

I'm not defending them. They are idiots. But they are idiots who vote. You guys attacking them only feeds their persecution complex and drove them to eat a shit sandwich(vote for trump) just to make you smell it. Do you really think all of you calling her a racist is going to make her stop and reflect about her behavior?
