Pretty much every Trump supporter including myself I know is not a racist . And with this association you make out half the population to be racist . I can ' t speak for every Trump supporter , but one of my good friends has two jobs and barely scrapes by to keep his family fed . He ' s really suffering and told me he probably won ' t be able to afford to get anything from his daughter for Christmas , and he and his wife have both not had a day off together in months . I feel bad for him , and I always offer any assistance I can going to buy his daughter some Christmas presents this year too , but he was on board for Trump even in our very blue state . This guy saw hope in Trump when he was constantly insulted by other for his support . He was always criticized for supporting the racism , sexism , and the other BS that was spewed at him . Does he really care about these social issues ? Not really . He just wants an opportunity for the betterment of his family . Can anyone fault him for thinking that he had a better shot with Trump rather than Clinton ? These were the people that voted for Trump . They will never care about others being oppressed when they ' re worrying whether or not they ' re daughter will be able to take a lunch with good food in it to school next week . I hope this can give some perspective into this because it really bothers me seeing so many people labeled as bad people when in reality they just voted for who they thought could give them a better chance .
