Calming the Fearful Mind -
A Zen Response to Terrorism
quote [ Donald Trump ran a campaign of racist demagoguery against Muslim Americans, Hispanic immigrants, and black protesters. He indulged the worst instincts of the American psyche and winked to the stream of white nationalists and anti-Semites who backed his bid for the White House. Millions of Americans voted for this campaign, thus elevating white nationalism and white reaction to the Oval Office. ]

but it is them who are the truly intolerant ones.
THEY. Dammit the correct word here is "they". I don't feel uncharitable calling this a movement that caters to the uneducated. People who used to be special because they were white and only because of that, who used that privilege as a crutch. They could always count on being better than half the country without even trying. Now that this is no longer true, they can't handle it. It's the same dynamic with MRAs and the advancement of women.
