Maria - your daughter's Facebook post is excellent for the most part, but she's going to have the people who need to read it most shut down and get angry at it because of this line:
I'm not saying every Republican is racist. But this country put a man in charge on an agenda that has hate and fear at the center.
That line is just a wedge.
Trust me, I've seen a enough Republicans I considered reasonable, good people get mighty defensive over this. You'll hear the "I didn't vote for Trump in the primaries, I have nothing to do with this" line. Or the "As a whole we didn't vote for him as our candidate" line. Or the "All Republicans are not like that, it is only a few" line. For some getting their party called out by name is not something they want to hear - this is their team and they stick with it through good and bad. For some it is a welcome excuse to disregard important words, or a welcome excuse to get angry and force anybody who makes them uncomfortable to shut up, or a welcome excuse to drift over to the hate-filled corners of their party that they found secretively attractive anyway. For some it is a sting of shame that they counter with anger.
But all it does is make people angry. To me it is more important that people calm down and unite against hatred. So, since many Republicans do not want to own Donald J Trump as a Republican president, I've mostly let that go. Somehow, 60 million plus turned out for Donald J Trump in the general election. I couldn't find hard numbers easily, but apparently America has about 200 million registered voters, and about 29% of those are Republican. Now, we know a lot of independent voters also voted Trump because they bought his "outsider" spiel. But even with that I suspect that a fair number of Republican voters kinda voted for Donald J Trump in the general election. A bunch of them just don't want to hear about it.
