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.
