2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: As a black loyal Democrat, I say SCREW the white working class who insist on voting Republican [View all]Buckeye_Democrat
(14,854 posts)I didn't see much outrage in this country over hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed during Dumbya's idiotic invasion.
I was a "jerk" about it too because I didn't do anything about it. I don't really know how since I don't have much power/influence, and I've grown cynical about public protests changing anything over the years.
EDIT:
To be clear, I voted for Hillary and all-Democrats in the last election, so I'm not one of the Trump voters you were addressing.
I stood up for Obama and minorities at a local redneck bar (that I foolishly entered on a whim) a few years ago and ended up in an emergency room. I walked home and encountered African American men who acted like they enjoyed seeing my stitched-up white face and blood-covered clothes. At least they didn't assault me too, but the whole experience was extremely depressing (and costly).
Later edits: Sorry, my eyes suck.
