Ageed, BUT…
(Mind you, I’m only saying this here because it’s an Australian thread, so it shouldn’t reach any law enforcement in the USA.)
I voted for him because Hillary called the people who opposed her “deplorable”. (Yeah, I know that’s not exactly what she said, but work with me here.) When you are publicly willing to call half of the people you want to lead “deplorable”, then you are willing to start calling their views (not them, of course not, just their views and their actions to promote those views) as contemptible. Unless checked, I see that as a short hop, skip, and jump to considering them “untermensch”.
IOW, I’m convinced that if Hillary were elected, by the end of her term I would either be imprisoned or spending all my time working to pay off the fines for holding incorrect opinions.
