If you are intolerant, while making sweeping generalizations, are you any better? That's the point (re: hypocrisy).
Anyway, I think you are simply still angry and that is what is motivating your posts. I've made my point and I'm out.

There's a different between making assumptions on why 60 million people voted and pointing out that all 60 million of those people decided that blatant hate speech against several different minorities, insults at a physically disabled man, connections to white supremacists (Breitbart), approval from the KKK, approval from Putin and Kim Jong Un, bringing in a VP who thinks it's acceptable to electrocute gay kids until they're straight, making explicit remarks about assaulting women, etc--none of these are bad enough to disqualify him for the Presidency of the US.
Clinton likely lost because of her one "deplorables" comment. Meanwhile Trump won after threatening to ban an entire religion from entering the country, after suggesting we do stop-and-frisk throughout the country which was deemed unconstitutional, after he was accused repeatedly of sexual assault of women and all kinds of questionable behavior towards women.
Regardless of your reasons why you like the guy, I have a hard time accepting that there are people who were able to overlook all of the awful things he said.
