President Obama's election and eight years in office WAS polarizing.  It brought the racists in our country out from under their rocks as they spewed their hatred toward a black man who dared to be elected President of the United States.  "Just who the hell does this N$#$%# think he is?"  "Doesn't he know his place?"  We have fellow posters on this site who still spew this same disgusting rhetoric of hatred.  Those racists are now out in the open, having been motivated by, first, the election of "one of them" and, then further encouraged by the hatefilled rhetoric and actions of Donald Trump.  

I condemned Hillary Clinton's "broad stroke" use of the term "deplorables."  Not all Trump supporters are deplorable.....we all know that.  However, we also know the ault-right, white supremacist and white nationalist are among the most ardent supporters of Trump and, are indeed, DEPLORABLE. (pardon me for yelling).  It would be nice if DT could muster the courage to repudiate them.  Gary Crum
