Of course hate crimes are up since Chump eked out an electoral win...that's what he stands for.

Many of this political forum's members, which is but a microcosm of the nation in general, is proof that those who previously kept their hatred/bigotry/racism mostly in the closet (ie: MOCPD/RubiTHECon/BillieTheGirl/BobnBev/Queen 'B'/Etc.) are now emboldened by Chump...to let their true beliefs ooze out of the woodwork.

And others like Don Baldwin/Larbug/DirtBag/Etc.,...have always displayed their putrid racist/xenophobic/bigoted beliefs.
