That is not the issue and you know it. Hillary could've been almost literally anyone else on the Democrat side and Trump would still have been an incredibly bad outcome for minorities. Many of Hillary's "supporters" - and definitely 80% of people panicking on Twitter - are in fact just terrified of Trump.

Trump wants to overturn Roe v Wade. Pence wants conversion therapy for LGBTQ people. How about you get your fucked up politics away from my body?

The good thing is, Trump is actually the most pro-LGBTQ President-elected ever.

Why do these conservatives want to legislate people's bodies in the first place, it seems highly unAmerican to me & screams of a nanny state like the USSR. If I want to fuck guys or gals or dress like a he, she or a schlee that should be none of the government's business. It affects no one else, and legislating people's private lives is just a great way to destroy American families and waste taxpayer money.

I also believe this needs to extend to substances used by people, if my grandmother wants some OxyContin for recreational use, let her have at it, there ain't no good reason to deny a ninety year old woman or anyone the right to eat, drink or smoke whatever they want so long as it is not negatively impacting others.

I'm pro choice, but the conservative objections around abortion center around the life of the fetus, not the body of the woman carrying the fetus. To them, the fetus is a life which the mother is obligated to protect, just as if it were an actual child.

Please stop this uncivil nonsense. We have to ban accounts that continue like this.

Yesterday I was called a faggot for the first time in over five years. It was by a guy in a MAGA hat.

There are swatiskas with Trump 2016 spray-painted in Philly.

You joke, but it's a serious fucking problem when violent white nationalists feel emboldened by their bully president.

Maybe I'm a naive British guy, but aren't those more likely to be an anti-Trump statement?

Unfortunately, Trump is extremely popular with white nationalists so no, these are actual nazis. Pretty gross.

For all we know, it could have been Hillary supporters trying to smear Trump. Or any other group that hates Trump, for whatever reason.

There have been a lot of hoax hate crimes in recent years, I wouldn't be surprised.

I was called all variants of that several times on my lifetime. Also Ramallah and all kinds of names. And I'm completely straight European up to (at least) 6 generations ago. So what?

Hate crimes are still a thing. Violence is still a crime. How's that different from BLM feeling emboldened from whatever emboldens them?

The guy wants conversion therapy, I want a billion dollars, you want safe spaces. Not everyone gets what they want. Deal.With.It.

So the rest of the world should deal with weirdness and entitlement?

Fair enough I guess.
