I agree, a curious irony....

Your point is that bigotry is alive and well, sadly. History is not on its side, though. Eventually, you lose.

That's right. It was bigotry. And, the Russians.


Might be good to think about the fact that if none of the bigots who voted for Obama twice had voted for Trump he would not have won.

I know what you are saying. You think people like you are smarter than people like me, and that you are moral and we are immoral. You think decent people like Trump. You think good people feel disrespected by immoral, stupid liberals. You think that because of the way liberals are so stupid, disrespectful to decent people, and wrong in how they view the world, they will never win an election.

Of course, the above gives you credit for thinking. To a large extent, I think you're just doing what you feel and having fun throwing insults.

If I'm not quite on the beam, corrections accepted.

Actually, I don't think any of that. Nothing about views of the world, morality, stupidity, or whatever. That's your deal.

My point was simply that if the totality of your campaign is homophobia, bigotry, racism, xenophobia, etc. you get Donald Trump as President.

And, since the left seems to have tunnel vision on the same thing you will likely get him again.

Of course that isn't the totality of anyone's campaign, Saying that reveals YOUR tunnel vision.

I suggest it should be "voted for Obama twice but did not vote for Hillary".
Trump did not have very broad support, perhaps at 35-40%.
