why so much hate?

Rape and sexual assault allegations, the way he speaks about women, his attitude towards women's reproductive rights...

I refuse to read anymore of your post beyond "so I refused to vote"

Hate is such a counter-productive emotion. It poisons the spirit and renders the mind closed the discussion and debate.

I think it is because allowing emotion to bubble up without thought, argument, and reason is easier. Submerging oneself in hate or other emotion, removes ones duty to justify their own actions.

However, I could be wrong...

I voted for him, and I'm really glad he won, but I can certainly see why collectivist types...(I'm trying to say something besides, "democrats" ) would not like him. He has said some pretty crass stuff. He's not exactly 'refined'. I like that about him, but I understand why others may not.

I believe they invested so deeply into the fantasies created by the DNC they lost the ability to think for themselves. Now the reality has settled in that they might have to. No one likes to be wrong

What are your thoughts about abortion non-voter? Should women be punished for them? Should they be disallowed from having the choice? What about gay marriage? Any feelings about Dodd-Frank and the Consumer Protection Agency? Hope so. That directly impacts you. What about religion? Does freedom apply to all of them or just some of them? I'll assume you're a woman who doesn't care if she gets paid the same as men for the same work.

But I guess since you refused to vote you don't have an opinion on those things. Guess that's your right. But I would suggest at least considering what a "better America" means to you. That way you'll have the tiniest amount of skin in the game.

Are you serously asking this quesiton you should know why people hate him even if your for him.

I'm not American and was told my opinion is worth Nada so.....🤐🤐🤐

He's said/done things that make a lot of people think he can't represent or serve them.

Excellent question!

Do you trust the BBC ?
Major news channel in England ?
Go to the bbc.co.uk/news page.
There you'll see all his quotes from this campaign.
Some if them are.....quite revealing !

He's a racist for one thing, and a sexist; has a long history of discriminatory behavior and speech. If you consider that important, apparently a lot of Americans don't. But sounds like you're out of the loop anyway, if you live in the U.S. and have never voted.
