NBC: Hate crimes spike following the Election

Trump supporters who argue that xenophobia isn't part of Trumpism and doesn't exist within the Republican Party are sticking their heads as the sand, like Democrats who argued that elitism doesn't exist on the left.

It's a by-product.

Of course, in an election when one of candidates is in love with BLM, doesn't understand problems with illegals immigration and so on, racists would want for other candidate.

 Correlation and causation.

Yeah, Obama destroyed police. News at 11.


Under Law and Order president Trump, all the violent crimes will be punished severely.

OK then whatever you say

What is your point exactly?

No, it's not a by-product. It's very much present and part of what gave him so many votes in the Midwest. You guys would be much better off owning it than trying to shrug it off or dismiss it. The first part of solving any problem is admitting that there is one.

Yes, it is. If you have some evidence, that "present and part of what gave him so many votes in the Midwest" you are welcome.

According to LBP and other Trump Trolls, we all should just be in jail. Because of 1 in 50 of our adult population behind bars is anarchy!

According to me, criminals belong to jail. IDK if you are criminal. If you are, you "should just be in jail", yes.

Evidence? lol, if you seriously can't find anything that Trump said even remotely racist or coded, I don't know what to tell you. As for voters in the Midwest, many of them feel like they might have no place in this country in the future. Yes, many things factor into those feelings which are not related to race, but xenophobia is there too. They feel threatened by immigrants, by changes in American culture, by seeing people who aren't like them achieve more success than they used to. They bought into Trump's narrative that their misfortunes can be blamed on people like Mexican immigrants and Syrian refugees. The sad irony, of course, is that their real enemy should be... well, people like Donald Trump. Someone who has actually benefited from the system at their expense.

Stop it. You don't know what they feel. No one didn't care about them and, by the way, Dems never cared about Blacks either and took their votes for granted. Not even Obama's campaigning changed it. Trump seems to get largest share of Blacks (especially black men) then other Republicans. Think about it!

Lol, sure, someone from Sweden understands Americans better than I do. Unlike you, I actually know people in other parts of the country, and while I'm not an expert on the Midwest, I hardly think you can claim more expertise on the subject. You clearly have no understanding or desire to understand how people who are terrified of Trump's presidency feel. But that's okay, because we're just terrible people who don't deserve to be listened to or understood. Whatever. I'm done talking to you. Some people who supported Trump and are actually interested in open dialogue might be worth the effort. You're not. Good riddance.
