Hillary Clinton made a big mistake in this election by calling half of Trump supporters ‘Deplorable’. Rhetoric like that can inevitably only divide people. I have watched my friends and family express hurt and anger over the ‘Deplorable’ comment, and rightfully so. When someone’s identity is attacked this way, it will inevitably cause hurt, anger, and division. I hope the hatred towards Trump supporter’s stops. I also know that it would be troubling to Trump supporters if anyone were to tell them to just ‘get over it’.

With that in mind, I would humbly request just one thing for anyone who is feeling the pain of the word ‘Deplorable’: please consider that there are people in this country who have had their group been referred to as ‘thugs’, ‘fags’, and ‘libtards’ (etc etc etc) their entire life. These people are often told to quit being ‘P.C.’ and to ‘just get over it’. Many of the protests you are seeing is because the inflammatory rhetoric (which could now become policy) Trump used towards many different groups of people... and they are told to just get over it.

The ideas of "the left" are widely supported by the vast majority of the American people.
