> Understanding why they voted for Trump might make politics more sane.
How? This is the part where most of these conversations break down. Those on the left can't possibly fathom that those on the right don't consider being racist, sexist or homophobic to be a capital offense. The number of people who believe exactly as I suggested they do are far more than you're comfortable admitting, even in a hypothetical. And that's before we even get into the shifting definitions of those words since their introduction into American politics.
> But is that really BLM's motto these days?
Google "BLM kill all whites". I'd provide specific links, but HN doesn't really accommodate that very well.
> Then you can't do anything but oppose BLM
That's not the tactic most of the left are taking, though. They're still supporting BLM, even though they're inciting violence and calling for the death of white babies. Same with Antifa, who have attacked peaceful demonstrations.
You seem like a reasonable person, but the people you're aligning yourself with are not, by your own definition.

I'm calling for the media to get out of their bubble and actually listen to and understand the rest of the country. Who does that make me "aligning with", and how does it do so?
