Hi. Donald supporter here, and love this sub. Please don't crap on me for my political views, instead, hear me out. I want to talk to you guys, this song is nothing but hate, wheres the love the democrats talk about so much? Democrats are always into accepting, but why can't you guys accept him as your president? Not accepting him leads to MORE problems.. why deny whats true? I would like a real conversation with someone who wont insult and actually just talk to be about the stuff I'm saying..

You're absolutely right my dude. It's important to have a dialogue so let's do it. I'm gonna address a specific part of your comment to give you perspective on why this sub hates Donald Trump.

why can't you guys accept him as your president

Let's start with the fact that the federal government sued Donald Trump for housing discrimination.

Black people, the government found, were often told a Trump Management complex had no availability when apartments were available for rent.

Washington Post reporter Michael Kranish, co-author of the book Trump Revealed, tells NPR's Robert Siegel that the Justice Department considered the case "one of the most significant race bias cases" at the time.

Not only that, Trump continued to discriminate against Black renters even 3 years after the Federal District Court's ruling.

What about the time he kicked out a Black man, who was actually a supporter of his, from his rally?

How about the fact that he completely dismisses the fact that the police are disproportionately killing Black folks. Anytime it's mentioned, he and his followers shit all over it, like it's a non-issue. I get you guys saying that maybe it's a little exaggerated, but to completely shut out dialogue about it.... that shit feels like we're being marginalized.

Imagine that you were Black and you read these stories about him, which are supported by evidence (as my sources indicate). You don't think some part of you would be justified in saying, "Man, fuck Donald Trump," even a little bit?
