3. Unfortunately, Trump and Trumpism has let these racists out of the closets.

I am an white old lady, in my 70s. Yes, there is racism and there has always been racism. However, in all my years, I have not seen it so overtly applauded. It has busted out of that closet and struck out at people -- black, Asian, Mexican. I have never seen it as open as it is now. The racist acts are applauded!!!! What the hell?????

I simply don't understand it. What the hell do I have to fear and hate a person who is differently ethnically, racially and/or demographically from me???

I simply do not understand the hatred...it's seems to take so much energy that could be put to better use.
