But they're always afraid so no rational person cares.

Afraid of words. Afraid of signs. Afraid of people. Afraid of being triggered.

Nobody in their right mind is going to sympathize with people who needed service dogs to comfort them after an election.

The IKE reports lay that out very clearly. Thats not "Lamestream media". Quite trying to deny reality.

And they are VERY directly being threatened. This isn't being afraid of some imaginary fear. This is some guy saying "Hey we're going to open up the floodgates of hate, have fun!"...all the while stating they are going to do the EXACT things I laid out in the post.

At this point we just need to get on with waiting to see what he and his minions are going to try to do and then play defense where needed. But whining and protesting a fair election at this stage makes one look stupid.

I'm loving it. This is exactly what I dreamed will happen with Trump becomes President. These are people that are disenfranchised and depend on entitlements, they can't compete in this economy. They should be blaming Obama that gave them free stuff and now they can't let go of it.

All the hate is coming from the Left and the coalition of identity groups. The Left playing victim and projecting has got to be over 50 years old and well played out.

I am assuming by immigrants, you are actually talking about refugees here.

While Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. is debatable, trying to prevent ISIS operatives from entering the U.S. (who are trying to pose as refugees) cannot be compared to Hitler’s ideas and decrees. (Not saying you are the one who is doing the comparison here)

There is not a modicum of evidence to suggest Trump would immediately call for a boycott of all Muslim businesses and bar Muslims from holding civil service, university, and state positions (like Hitler did with the Jews) if he were to be elected.

The mere existence of the “Jewish race” was what acutely troubled Hitler, while Trump has never even hinted at having a problem with those of a “Muslim race”.

Trump is plainly distressed with the large numbers of people who have entered the U.S. illegally (as was President Clinton); he has never implied that he has a problem with the mere existence of their race. If he did, one in four Hispanic registered voters would probably not support Trump.

Many of us have valid concerns, like those in the OP, who do not depend on any entitlements. We are concerned because our lives may, or may not, be turned upside down by the president elects actions.

Living in MS, if Trumps supreme court picks overturn Obergfell my families lives will change drastically. No more insurance through my wifes employer for me or our youngest. Higher taxes on our family income. Loss of all of those legal protections that come with marriage. Yeah, there are real concerns based on Trumps own statements.
