    It's so funny to see how triggered you all are. I would worry about the fact that America is clearly divided in two parts. You seek fights with your own folk, remember what Obama said, first of all, you are Americans. In the end, everyone is the same. Regardless of opinion. You should not be so easily touched by one opinion of the other side. Acting like little kids now. Look out for a civil war everyone.

    Didn't you just say that you won't even reply to Trump fans? Hey, I'm on your side when it comes to the feelings of disgust, but you can't really say what you just said while you also said you refuse to even engage with those who don't hold the same opinion as you..... Just sayin'.
    I am sorry of this. I didn't mean to provoke Trump fans in anyway. But some always react so aggressive if you share a different opinon. I'm sure that there are loads of them as well who behave well and are good in their hearts. I over exaggerated here and I take back those words. Sorry.
    Hey, it's tough here in the AMT - probably best used relatively sobre... or not. :lol: I think a lot of people are emotional today, for good reason. Don't feel bad about that (even though some think you should).

    Putin likely thinks he can play Trump with about as much ease as he could do it with a 6 year old. He probably still hasn't stopped laughing. Kim Jong Un is probably pretty excited too. There is finally POTUS who he can likely just call on the phone and chat with... and maybe bribe him with some ladies from his own personal prostitute pool.

    We heard from a young family member who is a teacher. Today she was working with a young boy today who is Hispanic but also a U.S. citizen. The boy was harassed at school today by some little shithead bullies who told him, "Go back to where you came from. Immigration is coming to take you away."

    Woot America. Way to fucking go.

    Ugh. My cousin is a high school teacher, and here's what he posted today:
    "In addition to teaching history, I teach a class of 10th grade English that has 6 Mexican American boys in it. We spent the entire period talking about the election. One of those boys looked me square in the eye and asked if he was going to be deported. After a long discussion about citizenship and campaign rhetoric and the impracticality of mass deportations, I hope he felt a little better. But there were still tears in his eyes.
    It was like this all day. I felt helpless."

    Seriously, you need to get a grip on reality. People are actually influenced by other people, in particular aggressive people. When an aggressive intolerant person who is anti-immigrant and spews prejudice about immigrants, the bigoted bully, whatever their age is, takes this as affirmation and validation that what they think is right. This then effects their behavior.

    A friends daughters bestfriend was harassed today at a university in California by frat boys because of the colour of her skin (brown). Screamed at her to go back home. She was a 4th generation American. First time this has ever happened to her.

    My question was directed to the OP.
    So in one day these little bullies on the playground all of a sudden became enraged and validated because of Trump?

You should not be so easily touched by one opinion of the other side. Acting like little kids now. Look out for a civil war everyone. The only thing I said is: Fans should not fight with each other about their political opinion. Only thing I added is: remember that your opinion isn't the one of the band you claim to love. And look at the reactions.

    The working class is listening to politics and they have a voice.
    The corporate American elite all round are being challenged right now and they don't like it.

    Maybe you're right and this will all occur at the same rate as before. But to answer your question, them and one or both of their parents have become validated because of trump. I guess this is another 'wait and see what happens' because of trump. I suppose if there's an increase in hate crimes you'll just call into question the source of the data.

    Their parents yes absolutely.
    Hate is passed down.
    Those little bullies in question can still be saved.
    Having said that, Trump is not their enabler. At some point you choose whether to hate or not anymore.

    Completely fucked. But Trump was duly elected and deserves the chance to prove our skepticism wrong. I don't have any reason to believe he will but I still hope he surprises us.

    So your response is concern for the bullies?

    Trump is validating this behaviour by flaming hate against immigrants. When you have the president of the united states calling brown people rapists and murderers, young people follow suit. You seem to forget the influence national leaders have on kids.

    Trump is absolutely their enabler. I'm just going to take your state of a denial as a manifestation of the shock and disbelief millions are feeling right now.

    Fun watching you all squirm
    So much fun

    You should embrace a stronger America but you will probably be left on the sidelines for lack of participation.

    Oh well, only two tenderloins on a steer.

    He voiced concern about illegal immigrants for one.
    He didn't call brown people rapists and murderers.
    We don't know what his influence will have on kids as a national leader yet until he takes office.

    Really? We have to wait until January to hold out on what it means when someone says they're going to "go trump on your ass"?

    He said mexico sends rapists and murderers.
    He said he wants to deport all muslims.
    He is the president elect that has been campaigning for 18 months on hate and fear. You think he magically will have influence only when he takes office? Do you have any idea the demographic that uses twitter? Do you not think that racists look to people in power to validate their hate?
