Good points. We’re about the same age. I had the blessing of parents that were decidedly not bigots. We had black ppl stay in our home from time to time and some of our neighbors really disdained us for it.
My mother thought they were white trash anyway so we called it even.

I think Obama was smart with his “working” of ppl. Off script he was less charismatic and of course there were the moments he and Michelle thought their comments couldn’t be heard. He used every opportunity to drive a wedge btwn white and nonwhite ppl. Unfortunately it was very effective. That is racist. Trump was misquoted to seem racist when he did work toward bringing ppl together. When he bought Mar-A-Lago it, like most other clubs and resorts in palm beach were WASP’s only. He sued the city for discrimination and won. He is the only man to occupy the Oval Office and leave poorer than when he took it. He also donated his salary to different charities.
He’s abrasive and cringy but honestly does care about the working people and America. I don’t see how that’s a bad thing. I’m not looking to date the guy, I just want someone in that office who puts our interests first. Who isn’t gonna take our tax dollars and then stab us in the back. TDS is a real psychiatric disorder. I never thought I’d live to see the day when it would be dangerous to show support for a candidate but it sure got a lot of ppl beat up to show support for Trump. Especially in 2016 thanks in part to comments from Hillary, Maxine Waters and almost every MSM outlet. Obama may have caused an irreparable schism in America, something he’s proud of.
you point out a very important issue - no longer can you show support for the candidate of your choice or issue of your choice without risking life and limb. Wearing anything supporting Trump or putting a Trump bumper sticker on your car could get you hurt, killed and/or your vehicle vandalized. I only express my opinions around people who are open minded and can agree to disagree. Unfortunately, the grown ups have left the room/country
In 2016 I still had a very young daughter and was too worried about being attacked if I put any stickers or messages supporting Trump. That was very disturbing and not the same country I grew up in.
That’s not to say there wasn’t violent crime or even still race driven violence. It wasn’t acceptable then and still isn’t. If a Republican went around saying any of the stupid things Hillary or Maxine W said there’d be an investigation and charges filed. The MSM would have replayed it ad nauseam.
The two tiered application of laws and standards is just blatant. I blame complacent RINO’s and indoctrinated liberals for the septic tank we’re in. It’s disappointing to say the least.
