Thoughts about supporting Trump
I've been thinking about whether or not to drop some people from my FB who are either Trump supporters or people who are saying Trump supporters are nice and we should all just get along. I'm not advocating violence or taking a hard stance against people based on politics but I have to wonder about people who don't see a problem with supporting someone who's platform is so divisive.
Sure other politicians have done crazy shit but that's not my point. My point is that when someone says how they plan to take away protections from traditionally disenfranchised groups then it's no longer about politics to me. At that point I'm looking at whether I'd ever feel truly comfortable with people who seem to think it's ok to get behind someone like that even if those are ostensibly not the reasons they support him. I look at like this, politics I can disagree on and still be friends but setting out to attack people well that's not politics, that's people. I can sleep like a baby voting for someone who has policies I disagree with as long as those policies aren't built on and perpetuating hatred.
I think about this song Das likes and how fitting the chorus has become "if you tolerate this then your children will be next"
