The fact that you hate people and that you post is so liked shows how fucked up this all is.

Actions speak louder than words, then let go of hate in your heart.

Also stop equating religious to hate-filled. You're atheist, and look your post is full of hatred.

And so, in fact, practice your own advice.

And with this kind of perception of a "one-sided" debate, don't come crying when another Trump type is elected, because you and so many others failed to understand the importance of dialogue and inclusion.

Do you not understand the core tenets of politics and democracy or something? The whole purpose of electing politicians in a democratic election is to nominate someone to represent you while discussing important issues in congress or senate. That's what voting is for, that's why we have politicians. 

Voting for someone who outwardly and aggressively campaigns on platforms of various kinds of bigotry while having a history of lies and terrible business acumen tells a very clear story: You don't care how it happens as long as we keep the filthy foreigners out. If that's not how you feel, then don't support someone like Trump. It's just that plain and simple. Bush was a fundie, but he wasn't anywhere near this bad. Reagan was wrong in the end but he campaigned on the idea that everyone won if they worked hard enough. We don't hate republicans, we hate people who are bigoted. It just so happens to be that Republicans voted for a bigot. Correlation is not causation, but that doesn't mean the correlation doesn't exist. There's a HUGE correlation between bigots and republicans. That's an observational truth that anyone without bias can easily see. 

And where did I equate religious to hate-filled? Also, there's a HUGE difference between hating someone for their race or gender or ethnicity and hating someone for something they did. IT's perfectly okay to hate OJ Simpson for getting away with murder. It is NOT okay to hate him because he's black. One was his choice, the other was not. If someone is actively making the world a worse, more hostile place for large groups of people, then it's fully reasonable to hate them for that.

So yes, I have hatred, but it's justified. Very, very justified. I think everyone should actively resist those who think that all muslims are terrorists or that all mexicans or blacks are criminals. we should publicly shun and disrespect those who campaign and vote for bigotry. we should be loving one another, but that's very hard when a large portion of people are actively making efforts to make things worse for minorities or people of a different religion or race. IT's despicable behaviour deserving of hate. 

Stop with the disingenuous whataboutism. Stop trying to equate what I'm doing to what trump does. Stop acting like both sides of this discussion are equal in terms of ethics or morality. They are not, and history will prove me right.
