So... show me exactly which part of the platform Trump ran on gives those people a justifiable cause to fear. Justifiable fear that goes beyond just a worry that things won't got their way for a while. Justifiable fear for their safety and security, based on items Trump actually ran on. quote:
Nobody's safety and security is being threatened. "Fear is a totally rational reaction to the Donald Trump presidency - Vox" http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/9/13575042/donald-trump-minorities-afraid-president Just one of the examples, of many .... I thought you were an academic, and would understand how to actually construct an argument? How does an article written by somebody afraid, laying out over and over again that people are afraid, without substantiating a reason for them being afraid based on any point Trump actually ran on -other than pure irrationality- prove your point? Especially not when I can counter it with tons of examples, such as a black homeless woman (the group supposedly being afraid right now because of Trump, right?) getting beaten up by the Left for attempting to protect his walk of fame star in LA, leading up to the election? I could take that example and use it to illustrate why black homeless women should be afraid right now from the wrath of the Left, but that's not even the point. The question remains: show me what position Trump has ran on that justifiable causes such fear that it becomes socially permissible to issue death threats (to the president-elect or his voters), riot, beat up people based on their race or political conviction, or deliberately target small business owners. Not some "well the Left is scared of what Trump supporters will do" article by some random author making totally unsubstantiated claims, because the Left has already proven that they will be the ones committing those same offenses in far excess to what the Right has -now or in previous elections- but actual substantiated cause to be fearful for positions Trump has ran on. And don't be bleating about "they're scared about him deporting illegal immigrants and building a wall". Fear of deportation isn't enough to justify death threats, nor riots. And on top of that, illegals should be dealt with. Either by changing the laws so that they no longer are illegal (something the Left just had 8 years to accomplish but didn't bother to address), or by deporting them. That's how laws work: you enforce them while you have them, or you abolish/change them if you decided that you no longer should have them. And BTW...there's another group that may not have any reason to fear Trump in the way that many on the left apparently do. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/nov/2/donald-trump-holds-high-flag-gay-equality/ Funny how these moments cannot be found in most media outlets' coverage of Trump.
