Poll: Giant inflatable Trump in KKK robe. Fair depiction of Trump's campaign?

Totally unfair, and people know it.

Uh huh, sure. Do you seriously believe Trump won't seize Hispanics and Muslims's property to give it to #hardworking Americans like you?

No, I don't believe he'll seize property through eminent domain without proper and equitable compensation for the property owner(s).

And, yes, I am a hard worker.  I've worked 2 jobs for most of the last 10 years, and I'm 59 years old now.  I support a wife and our grandson, who we have legally adopted (he's 10, and my wife is 61).

I don't know you from Adam.  I will say that, in my experience, folks who look down on the hard work of others generally haven't done much with their lives, other than go to school (and, sometimes, get degrees they aren't using yet).  Maybe you're the exception.  Then again, maybe you're a know-it-all with education, but no real accomplishments.  Folks like that seem to be in abundance; their contempt for the working folks of society is where the roots of anti-intellectualism take hold.  And I'm not anti-intellectual; anti-intellectualism has resulted in the tragic dumbing down of our culture, especially in the civic sense. 

I went to school for 8 years after high school and have made something of myself. But you Trump supporters look at people like me with envy. That is the politics of white resentment. Trump supporters didn't take the opportunities they were presented with by the virtue of being born in the richest country in this world and now they want to blame their problems on others, such as Hispanics and Muslims. They were the ones who didn't get educated and now they bitch and blame others because the economy has moved on. Maybe I am being a little paranoid and hyperbolic, but if I was Muslim I really would feel highly threatened by this movement. God forbid Trump actually became President, what is to stop him from putting all Muslims in camps and confiscating all their property? What happens to the property of Hispanics who will be deported by Trump's thugs? Do the thugs take it for themselves?

Trump supporters are the welfare queens of the right. They want something for nothing. Stop blaming Mexicans and get yourself educated if you can't find a job. The level of entitlement among some people is stunning.

It's very sad to see two hard working people fighting for no reason other than the simple fact that they disagree about politics. Calling or even implying FuzzyBear is a welfare queen, a thug, entitled, envious, and failed to take opportunities provided to him is downright mud slinging, and I beg that both of you cease and desist.

Before you respond in anger, FuzzyBear, "Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself." That was in Richard Nixon's farewell address, and it applies now.

Neither of you will hear and understand each other until you tone it down and calm down, so that your words may be heard and not just your voices.

The post is not directed personally at Fuzzybear. The anger we see in the Trump base comes from white resentment though, and my anger is only a reaction to that. This is not something that is appropriate in politics. This election is absolutely disgusting and I hope this doesn't become the norm in American politics. To be fair, this sort of ugliness is a part of politics in many other countries around the world. America used to be exceptional in that regard, but not anymore. Trump has destroyed that. I hope he loses in a landslide and we can go back to being a civilized country.
