I kinda feel bad for the people who think Trump would only hurt us and not them. At the same time, they’ll have a lot of fun harming us.

It’s much more likely now that vigilante bigots will feel emboldened, so keep an eye out and never count on anyone to save you. Find allies and avoid being isolated if you live in red country. Groups of fascists will not hold back on killing, and the cops will do more than passively allow it. The danger is very real, and you will not be able to resist multiple people on your own. Fight unfair because they never will. Get every advantage you can.

    The point is not to vilify people. The point is you do not know until it’s potentially too late who the 10% are.

    I did not take this as a call to demonize “others”; OP quite clearly framed this as a reminder to stay safe. Minimizing the very real risk of violence puts you in a position where by the time the violent extremist has revealed themselves, it’s likely too late.

    It is possible to both recognize the dangerous reality of these modern times, but to also do so without adopting the bigotry of our enemy.

    The paradox of tolerating the intolerant must be remembered.
