Grew up here thinking all this is normal. Trump opened my eyes to our crazy country. Now Iβm a bit of a black sheep of the family. Enjoying all of your responses. Just bought my first European car recently. Hope to go back soon.
White Male Suprimacy. Thats what all thats about. The fear of them losing it to women, black people or anyone else really.
Well, thats my gut based opinion anyway :)
You're talking about a stereotype of a very small subset of Americans. You're basing your fears on the extremist online postings that aren't really indicative of Americans in real life in the majority of the country. If you have legitimate reasons to be afraid to leave your house, then I strongly urge you to move. I can't imagine you'd have much tying you to the area if you never even go outside.
If they really were just a very small subset of Amercians, they wouldn't be able to pass legislation based on their intolerance and hatred of others.
If it's a very small subset of Americans, then how in the world do some of them have seats in Congress?
I think that depends greatly on where you live. In Berkeley, California? Definitely a small minority. In Harrison, Arkansas? Definitely not a minority.
