(10,035 posts)it reads like satire to me. Basically blaming people like him (I don't know what his stance on Hillary Clinton was prior to the election) for getting Thrump elected. Not condoning the method, just saying.

(28,204 posts)That in no way excuses the filthy racism directed at him in that message, not by a long shot. But his Hillary-slagging is a matter of record.

(93 posts)What a horrific message to receive. No matter who sent it it's just another sign of how broken we are.
I did not respect his whataboutism and simpleton nature when it came to how he promoted the last election. He is much deeper and went shallow. His writings and discussions during that period were dumbed down from his natural level of intelligence and education and it was personal on a small minded level. He attempted to insert logic into a situation where he became emotionally charged and failed miserably.
He was not a Trump supporter.
