I do not like the term Trumptards any more than libtards. Take the high road or we will never get out of this mess.
The more everyone takes the low road, the less there is worth fighting for.
When we Americans claw at one another like this, we are just playing into the hands of our rivals and enemies. When we destroy our liberties in the name of safety, when peaceful unity among diverse groups is disrupted, when we stop providing safe haven for refugees, when we become a beacon of hate and intolerance instead of love and welcome, then the jihadists, oligarchs, and authoritarians will have won. With the model of democracy so debased, how can their oppressed peoples muster enough hope to topple them?
Heaven knows I'm frustrated enough with the direction of the country, but it's important to not burn bridges. I find that a fair number of Trump voters I have contact with have minds open to change, which is why they felt they wanted to "give him a chance". Some were poorly informed, some allowed a single issue to rule them, and yes, some have given into hate and fear. But when the economy tanks, as it surely will, an important percentage will change their minds. We aren't going to see any come-to-Jesus moments where they come groveling to their liberal friends, but surely the disgust will come for 45 and his corrupt, totalitarian ways. As Lincoln used to say, you can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all the people all the time.
