I think there are some pretty smart, kind, caring people on both sides. Sadly, there are some really ugly folks on the Trump side -- ones who think racism, bigotry, mysogeny are a great way to live their lives. BLM has some valid points but, like many movements, goes too far at times. Neither side is smarter nor kinder than the other. Both sides have valid arguments. Both sides are being blind and unreasoning. Both sides have some pretty ugly folks promoting their causes.
I will always do my best to respect those whose viewpoints differ from mine, unless you spew hatred and, for those, there is no respect, just pity and extreme dislike.
I cannot support Trump. I may dislike Hillary but at least she doesn't promote hatred and bigotry. Trump's foreign policies go well beyond the pale. I think a 13YO has a better grasp of foreign affairs. Domestically, Trump actually has some good ideas, such as his plan for child care (but still not convinced it is feasible).
So, vote your conscience. I'm voting mine,
