Agreed, and he deserves criticism for that, as he played a role. So does the media.
People should take a look in the mirrors as well, a whole lot of name calling going because people couldn't deal with the results of a legal election. A whole lot of "ists" and "phobes" being flung around

Yup, the talking heads in the media and in Dc are literally making a living off of making Trump out to be Darth Vader.

Nobody cared about the ICE detention centers when Obama used them, but under Trump, we have concentration camps! Did you know this, TDF? Concentration camps!!!

Yep, but I'm also talking about your average joe walking the street. I don't see calling someone a racist, because you didn't like who they voted for, is a prudent way to promote unity

I saw that on Google Satellite view, saw all the Ovens and "Showers". Some more of that "Unity" promotion.

TDF, hurling insults is only divisive when republicans do it. What you fail to see, is that when liberals do it, it's unifying, noble, evolved, and fine. Sadly, you just aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate the nuance.
