In reply to the discussion: My response to a djt supporter on a local blog: [View all]ProudMNDemocrat
(16,786 posts)5. When answering online about Donald Trump.........
I merely tell the truth.
I use Trump's words in quotes, post links to what he has said....gets Trump supporters mad as hell. Then having them defend the indefensible is a thing of beauty because they make fools of themselves. It displays the fact that they have been conned by a con man. Their ignorance is on full display for others to read that may know these people.
I do not name call. I keep to the topic at hand. As it has been said, "the truth will set you free." With Trump supporters, it only makes them madder and look less credible when they attack me, which is quite often.

POTUS makes racism respectable. Racism is their favorite scapegoat for resentments.

I would agree that racism is an example of "fear of the other". As is xenophobia.
