Guys, can I just say something?
Post Body

Not all Trump voters are sexists. Or racists. Or homophobic. Or hyper religious. Or anything like that. Believe me, I absolutely abhor Trump. I hate what he's done to this country, the world, the media, it makes me sick. But still, you can't say everyone who supports trump is any of those qualities I listed in the beginning. I have met some incredibly intelligent and kind people who happened to support Trump. And that's fine. As much as we hate Trump, and as much as we try and prove to Trump supporters how wrong they are, they are not the enemy. People are beginning to come around as mounting evidence piles up against Trump, but if we stereotype and sling hate at everyone who dares say something good about him, we lose our morals.p.

Here's a thought experiment I like to use for this, inspired by a short story called the Egg. Imagine everyone else in the world is you. Every time you die, you are reincarnated in a random point in time as a random person with no memory of your past lives. Everyone else in the world is merely you, in different circumstances. ( I don't actually believe this, but bear with me here). If we were raised on Republican Rhetoric, if our news sources were places like Breitbart, if we weren't taught to check our sources, then we would be probably support Trump Because we just wouldn't realize the truth of the situation.

So please, seek to teach Trump Supporters rather than demean them, and yes. Some of them are bad people. But being a Trump supporter does not automatically make you a bad person or an idiot. They are simply drawing conclusions with an incorrect or incomplete set of facts. Let us keep the moral high ground. No one's belief's should make automatically them the target of hatred.
