To clarify: knowing my friend, the point isn't to say "fuck everyone" but to guard against letting your goodness be weaponized against you.
Perhaps the most insightful political comment I've seen in the election aftermath from a very smart friend of mine.pic.twitter.com/uMjbm2LIOF

I'm sure there are many Trump supporters who aren't racist, but face it: he didn't win on the strength of his nonexistent economic plan.

And there is no "understanding" or "compromise" with racism and bigotry. That is a line in the sand that I draw.

Another way to think of it: we shouldn't agree to an "understanding" with Trump supporters without the condition that they reciprocate.
-
Don't make "understanding" a one way street where we ignore the truly vulnerable in an attempt to comfort people who are fine, yet angry.
-
Once more, for those in the back: the Trump coalition is trying to use your own kindness against you for their own purposes. Don't let them.

That doesn't mean you can try and figure out the motivations of a Trump voter. It means you shouldn't let them tell you THAT YOU'RE WRONG.

Trump's gang would love for liberals to bend over backwards for angry white people & disenfranchise vulnerable groups more. DON'T LET THEM.

@1mentat@GreatDismal Okay, you can go empathize with racists. I'm sure minorities will appreciate your efforts. - その他の返信を表示

I'm not arguing for empathy at all. I agree with you and with your friend entirely. I'm making a clinical observation

@drskyskull@GreatDismal It's not the core Trump racists we need to empathize w/. It's working-class ppl who stayed home, or voted in rage. - その他の返信を表示

@IanRGillespie@drskyskull I don't think we should "empathize" with racists. But a working *understanding* of the psychology can be helpful - その他の返信を表示

@GreatDismal@IanRGillespie Yes. We're all stuck together here and need to make things work, but we shouldn't be the only ones doing it. - さらに表示
