Yeah, I probably went too far with the...Anonymous,<br /><br />Yeah, I probably went too far with the brat comment and there's no excuse for it despite my frustrations. I never meant to give the impression that we should point fingers or criticize Trump supporters in particular for the kind of thing I'm describing. At the end of the day it's an 'everyone problem' shared by just about every political faction in America in some similar fashion.CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-38053614253190450262016-10-05T20:30:48.092-04:002016-10-05T20:30:48.092-04:00CJ, Hypocrisy Much?CJ, Hypocrisy Much?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-40658879752041809812016-10-05T15:12:21.618-04:002016-10-05T15:12:21.618-04:00My understanding of Trump supporters' (in part...My understanding of Trump supporters' (in particular the alt-right) grievances is that they're upset with not only the academic/career advantages granted to minorities over the past decades, but also the full scope of social justice policies and attitudes that have become very popular America over the past several years that they believe have become too extreme and one-sided.<br /><br />It's unfortunate that too many of the people with these legitimate grievances, especially on the Internet, act like antagonistic brats with an unhealthy fixation on memes. They're so eager to dye their entire cause in the petty "Us versus Them" mentality focused on insulting their opposition and national community that they accuse of doing the same, which is contrary to the open-minded and constructive dialogue they allegedly want in America. It's not surprising that Trump resonates with this type so well.CJnoreply@blogger.com
