There are plenty in my area. Personally, I don't consider myself a Democrat or Republican.

Finding it hard to understand why I get accused of being the other party whenever I challenge someone on their viewpoints. The country is very polarized these days. We should all be more open minded.

Same here. I voted republican this time around but do consider myself more of a libertarian/independent .

If a war with China ever happens while Trump is in office, you can bet he will turn on the Chinese-Americans as quickly as he turned on the Latinos, legal or illegal.

Former right winged conservative that is more moderate nowadays. There are good and bad on both sides of the political landscape. I'm white, 42, and work hard as well.

You're right about that, decades of democrat liberals treating us like we're Rodney Dangerfield or Al Bundy or worse.

That's pretty sad. Seriously, it's not something to be proud of.

If I understand you right, you actually hope when you and your kids get to the job market, you won't get hire or if you have grandchildren, they won't be admitted to schools because you, the white people, aren't good for diversity?

Do you actually know how the government works? No matter how much Trump "hates" whomever or turns on whomever, he can't do jack squat without the congress passing a law.
