We have had real problems, and continue to have them. It's not implausible at all, given the US's (recent!) history, to suggest that 50+% of Americans are racist or sexist. In some ways, it would be more surprising if the number was less than 50%.

...... please, stop.
This kind of absurd social justice rampage is exactly why people stayed quiet in public, but privately voted for Trump at the ballot box.

Agreed.
I notice you have been downvoted. This post election shaming campaign is really making certain "democrats" look bad.
I won't attribute it to all democrats but a few people here have been behaving in what I see as a very undemocratic way over the last 24 hours.
That said, here is a protip: don't mention SJ, it just fuels the fire.
Are you basing the 50+% on the election results? Is that fair, given a voter has to coalesce all of the positions they may have on a variety of issues into a single, effectively binary choice? If you were in an eligible voter and voted in the US election, do you subscribe to all of the positions of the candidates you voted for or have ever supported?
