Fellow DU members please be careful judging Trump supporters

Hi everyone this is a big call I know but I do not want the US to fall into a civil war and here are a thing or 2 I am doing to try and prevent that from happening.;

There are many reasons why a person voted for Trump, as many as there are supporters however now the facts about Trump are coming out and layers of supporters are coming off Trump just like an onion but where are they going, into what type of camp? Depends on how they are treated. Now I am listening to the Trump voter.

If us progressives do a victory dance at the cooler every morning it probably is just going to piss the Trump supporter off and they might join an even worse group that reflects that anger. Instead I try and be present and listen when I realize the other person has really liked Trump and listen without reacting with my own stuff.. I notice the anger and frustration and their feeling of being abandoned, that is suffering by any measure.

Many of them just want to talk so they can come to terms with their own reasons for following Trump and maybe discover truthful options to build with.

Just a reminder from one social field professional to another, if the Trump supporters think there is no solution to their love for Trump there is a good chance mass shootings and crowd run downs is going to increase.
