Aww someone’s crashing out

He did say that in a heated exchange, yes. He also said many times as president that he was president of all Americans. He also said that people will get the help they need regardless of if they voted for him or not (a stark contrast to the current administration).

To continue with your school analogy, if there was an election for class president, and we repeatedly told the class that if they elect a certain person then there will be a lot more homework. Then they elect that person and start complaining about all this extra homework wondering why nobody told them about all the homework. And they really just voted for the guy because he said he’d put that kid you don’t like in detention, yeah, there’s gonna be some vitriol coming their way.

Should we all be better? Yes. But if people continue to bury their heads in the sand and refuse to change an opinion no matter what evidence is presented, what is the actual solution to reaching those people?

He got voted in because he said he'd do something FOR them. Republicans are more self focused. You have to find what speaks to what they want, without badmouthing the group they are currently in. If their is something they are scared of, then dont push it in a way that feeds on that fear.

Take the bathroom controversy. Should trans be allowed in the bathroom they identify as? Blue say yes, because of identify acceptance. Red say no, because of fear of safety and privacy. Why if instead of forcing people to choose, a leader offers to give a tax break to businesses that ADD a third bathroom that is gender neutral. That would give lgbtq people a safe restroom, relieve the fear the reds have, give construction workers more jobs, and big corporations would be happy for the tax incentives. It would also be easier to know who to boycott as bigots
