Wow! Thanks for "enlightening" me on how 'most Americans" is code for white Americans. I did not know that.
I grew up military -- one of the most DIVERSE organizations in America - so when I talk about most Americans I talk about everybody regardless of color or creed.
But I can tell by your post - that you are still in the victim mentality. See I'm a survivor sugar and honestly, I have a low tolerance for that victim mentality - so you can peddle that shit somewhere else. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen

Because Trump is disliked and viewed negatively by African Americans, Hispanics, etc. Those groups do care about these issues you just wanted to toss to the side because income is what you think matters to most Americans. So you are inherently talking about white Americans. You can peddle your same old line about your diversity because of the military because that don't fly. The military isn't immune to small minded people. And just because you grew up around the military, that don't make you some beacon of diversity or any better than anyone else. Yet you love throwing that out. You would think you actually served the way you talk.
What have you survived? Sexual assault? Holocaust? Cancer? What makes you a survivor?
And victim mentality? What kind of idiotic bullshit is that? I'm not a victim. I grew up fine. No issues and a loving family. But unlike you, I can sympathize with people who are going through things. I know the struggle of my grandparents. My grandfather who did serve in the military, since you like to point that out. Who came back here and faced bigotry. Others who look like me dealing with bigotry even today. Guess what, it's not a victim mentality. You think African Americans, Hispanics, LGBT people, etc. choose what they are going through? We've don't have a victim mentality. My people fought for civil rights. My people served in the military when they knew they were coming home to a country that treated them as lesser. I have the blood of men and women who where beaten, blooded and killed by people who look like you. They didn't stop. They wouldn't stop. So I will never be the victim. I know the history of my people. We are more than survivors. We are fighters. We don't want to survivor, we want to thrive. And will won't be silenced by ignorant people like you. So you can go peddle that victim mentality bullshit somewhere else.
