Liberals would do well to reflect on this quote by Martin Luther King, there is a lot of truth to it with regard to how many Americans feel.
A riot is the language of the unheard - Martin Luther King
If there is one thing on God's green Earth that a trump supporter is not, it's unheard. You can't open a paper without reading yet another profile of one of their diners in the middle of nowhere. They are not an oppressed minority like African Americans in the civil rights era, they are a coddled, romanticized minority that uses violence and corruption to achieve their political goals and to stay in power despite almost always receiving less votes than the majority party.
Don't twist Dr. King's words to defend racists, neo-nazis and murderers. It's disgusting.
All the major institutions, corporations, academia, media, the entertainment industry are opposed to Trump supporters who are ridiculed and often lose their jobs for the views, they are an oppressed group, they are oppressed by all of the major institutions and their voices are not listened to by any major institution in America except for now the WH.
You're just flat out wrong. What institutions and corporations oppressing them? Are they universally denied mortgages, marriages, and healthcare, for instance, because they are Trump supporters? Are they disallowed to buy coca-cola or doritos because they are conservative? Are the bank accounts of all known trumpies frozen by their respective banks and institutions cuz they like trump? Are they restricted from owning property and booted from all but a few menial jobs cuz they are republicans? Are they denied the right to vote and to participate in town halls? Are they jailed, tortured, and summarily executed when they scream the n-word at people or say they want Hillary dead? Are they ghettoized into awful living conditions and made to live for generations in poverty? THAT'S oppression.
Losing your job cuz you broke into the capitol building with zip-ties or because you chanted "hang Mike Pence" is not oppression. Having academics write about your fascist tendencies is not oppression, nor is having half the country think you are a vile, entitled, self-victimizing racist oppression either. And no, it's not a violation of any amendment either for you to face the consequences of your actions.
