Yeah...I dunno. I'm not asking people to support Hillary, but at this point supporting Trump is a reckless and dangerous thing to do. I can't look at a Trump supporter the same way I would look at a Romney or Bush supporter. Those were people who I disagreed with on some fundamental issues but we at least shared concepts of what America is and what makes it great, our ability to govern in spite of our fundamental disagreements, because there were even more fundamental concepts we agreed on. We shared a bedrock.I press the YDTTA button not because I am interested in defending Trump, I think he's pretty awful, but because your aggressive and accusatory attitude does nothing to help. Pointing at a large group of people and collectively telling them to go fuck themselves has never in the history of humanity lead to anything positive. A much more interesting and helpful approach would be to try to empathize, to learn why they feel the way they feel, and grow not only as a person, but collectively as a society, but that can never happen when either side is doing nothing but slinging insults at each other, which is what is happening on both sides now.
Trump supporters don't fall into that category. Trump supporters do not seem to believe in the bedrock of American values. The ones every previous candidate, republican or democrat, agreed on.
So yeah. For being people that attack the bedrock of the American democracy, they can go fuck themselves.
