the real discussion will likely remain elusive as long as liberals keep calling anyone that has a different opinion than them as racist/bigot/hate speech/some other bs.

Hapless people who had been waiting around for a day like this, just couldn't resist jumping on the board and pleasuring themselves. Scanning other threads, they aren't much better. One is beating himself over the head because Trump met some cheerleaders or was clapping for himself. This is passing as controversy.
I think this forum is pretty representative of the US public. There seems to be about 60/40 split between Democrat and Republican on here. And yes, among that 60% there is a lot of Trump-hating that is expressed. Because among the US population there is a lot of hatred of Trump.

So you can cut your cable so you are not exposed to the opinions of your fellow citizens, or you could try to understand why there is so much animosity toward the man. There has always been honest disagreement between Dems and GOP over the issues, but never have we been so divided over the character of one man.

One can take only so much of those CNN panels, you know those arched ones with 4 anti-Trumpers one on side, and 3 anti-Trumpers on the other with one "Republican" thrown in while Anderson Cooper, the "moderator" in case you didn't know, joins in Trump bashing.
