'Make America White Again': Hate speech and crimes post-election

(CNN)Fears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump's presidential win. And the list of incidents keeps growing.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has counted more than 700 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the US since Election Day.

"They've been everywhere -- in schools, in places of business like Walmart, on the street," SPLC President Richard Cohen said Monday.

While Trump has been accused of fostering xenophobia and Islamophobia, some people have used his words as justification to carry out hateful crimes. Recent days have witnessed ugly episodes of racist or anti-Semitic pro-Trump graffiti along with threats or attacks against Muslims.

I could see that they were screaming "Hate!" (I hate you and everyone not like me!) and "Kill!" (I'd try to kill you if I thought I could win a fight with you and not get imprisoned!)

They just use the orange nazi's name as shorthand to convey their devolved monkey like thoughts and feelings.

See how they're acting toward their 'enemies', while the White House is under their "enemies'" control? That's how we can act when they have control.

And there are a lot more of us than there are of them.
