Is a Trump victory by stimulating White fear so very different than, for years, Liberals benefitting from stimulating minority outrage?

Lessons taught are lessons learned?

  • Nope, it's not all that different. Playing on and ramping up fear is a tool of politicians on both sides.

    Hello Tm:

    The day before the election, Trump went to Minnesota and before a WHITE audience, said, "Somali migrants are a DISASTER for Minnesota".  Somali migrants are BLACK.  In MY view, Trump was stoking white/immigrant hate..  I suspect you'll have a different take on what he said.

    Hello O:

    Not really..  They're BOTH true..  There's LOTS of whites who hate blacks, and vice versa.
