I shouldn't feel threatened being a Trump supporter living in LA. (self.LosAngeles)

RDAmbition が 投稿

Its pathetic the attitude people have towards those who support a another candidate, especially the one that won and will become the president for ALL OF US.

I shouldn't be worried that my house might get a rock thrown through the window because there is a Trump sign infront of my house, or have people calling me racist/sexist for having voted for Trump

People need to grow up, and I'm sorry if this offends you.

The election is over, take down your sign. It's tacky. That was a local ordinance in a town I used to live in, all signs removed by Thursday.

Hah, he didn't get the response he wanted, so know he's begging The_Donald to come brigade the thread.

I hope you get two rocks thrown through your window.

      I will preface this by saying that I don't think you, or anyone else, deserves to have a rock thrown for their window. However...

      Right now, there are people around the country being physically assaulted because of their skin color/ethnic background/perceived sexual orientation/etc. They can't change their skin color or country of origin, but now have targets painted on their backs since a certain segment of the population has been emboldened by the results of the election.

      You seem to feel that you're being targeted for vocally supporting Donald Trump. But that was as a decision that you made. You weren't born with a Trump lawn sign planted in front of your house. You chose to support Trump knowing that he has been vilified as racist and sexist.

      I am absolutely against violence, even against people whose repugnant views I disagree with. But your treatment has resulted from your own actions, unlike the victims of hate crimes.

        Unless you're out there beating people for their skin color/religion/etc., I'm not blaming you for any hate crime.

        What I'm saying is that your treatment (being called racist/sexist) is a direct result of your own decisions.

        Cheers!

        Can you please logically, and educational explain to me how that justifies me being called a racist/sexist?

        Actually explain it, if I agree with the mens foreign/economical policys, HOW does that justify me called a racist/sexist?

        [–]HidekiTojosShinyHead 14ポイント15ポイント  (3子コメント)

        Others have already summed this up to you, by the looks of things.

        You may not personally be racist or sexist, but you have shown an indifference to that type of behavior in others. If you can't understand how some find that offensive, then there's no point in continuing this discussion.

        [–]RampantInanity 13ポイント14ポイント  (1子コメント)

        Several studies have shown that racial resentment by whites towards people of color was one of the main drivers, possibly the biggest driver, of Trump's support.

        http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/06/02/more-warmth-for-trump-among-gop-voters-concerned-by-immigrants-diversity/

        From this study:

        An analysis of 'feeling thermometer' ratings of Trump finds that attitudes about immigration, Islam and racial diversity are strongly associated with Republican voters’ views of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. Other political values — including opinions about whether the U.S. economic system is unfair and whether business profits are excessive — are less closely linked to feelings about Trump.

        http://www.vox.com/2016/6/2/11833548/donald-trump-support-race-religion-economy

        From this story:

        Opinions about Obama are heavily influenced by levels of racial resentment. More than half of all Republicans believe he is a Muslim; and finally, only 29 percent of Republicans think he was born in the US.

        It's not a small % of Trump supporters that are racist, it's most of them. Trump supporters, on the whole, have higher incomes than the US average. Their "economic anxiety" was largely born of the feeling that blacks, Latinos, and "others" were getting more than their fair share.

        Hi u/RDAmbition, u/BoredAccountant here.

        I see a lot of people making assumptions about you based on your choice to support/vote for Trump. And based on your other post in r/The_Donald, it sounds like a lot of people have. Being a fellow Angeleno, public Trump supporters are few and far between, so I can't say I've had too many conversations with them about their reasons for supporting Trump. What are yours?

        Yeah, maybe you should. Maybe you confuse "winning the election" with "actually being right"?

        When I leave the liberal islands of sanity and travel through the Sea of Red, I feel threatened very often. I am subject to discrimination, attract the attention of law enforcement, and have to deal with various homophobic taunts and jeers just for having the gall to show up in Smallsville. To be sure, I haven't received a physical beating in a while, but then I'm heading out into Trumps America next week, who knows what will go down.

        You are in a place where even well written policy is eaten for breakfast. This mishmash of hot air, knee jerk reactions and horse testosterone that is being trotted out and called "policy" ain't gonna cut it. And neither will we find the silver tongued shit pitching ass hats ever to be vaguely acceptable. Defend them as you will, your case is weak and your opponents are many.

                                      I kinda have to agree with you here. It's mindblowing how many in here are supporting illegals that are breaking the law. As of now, Trump has not implemented any radical social or racial issues so everyone is basically freaking out over a bunch of words which may or may not become reality. I would say wait until he actually does something controversial and/or racially segregating; then I'm all for it.
