So you want to reach out? Start with this guy.

This dude is representative of all Rump supporters. They may not all wear racist shirts. They may not all voice their opinions openly. But this is the GOP (and specifically the Rump) platform spelled out plainly for all to see. This is what Rump supporters voted for. This is what they truly believe in. Speaking personally, I would rather not "reach out" to them; I would rather they crawl back under their rocks and hide like the snowflakes they are.

And, yeah, this was under Obama. Do you think the man voted for Hillary in 2016? I don't think so. The deplorables have not suddenly become reachable because of the Rump. In fact, I would argue it's quite the opposite.

Because there were, no doubt, people who did not speak English and who were born here and were not white, etc. here before he was. I can guarantee you that.

Did he graduate from grade school?
