THE ENTIRE BASIS OF TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY SUMMED UP HERE (ie: asserting and maintaining white, male, heetrosexual, "Christian", conservative minority rule)https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/trump-supporter-melts-self-pitying-op-ed-white-men-discriminated-group-people/
The Tennessean has published an editorial by a Trump supporter named Ryan Moore who claims white men who support the president are the most discriminated against group of people living in the United States today.
At the start of his editorial, Moore bitterly complains that anonymous people on social media websites have said mean things about him when they see a photo of him in his Make America Great Again hat.
. . .
White men are the most hated and discriminated against group of people in the United States now, he writes. If you dont believe that, you simply arent paying attention or looking at it objectively.
In reality, statistics compiled by American law enforcement officials show that hate crimes targeting both black Americans and Jews in 2017 both outnumbered the total number of hate crimes that targeted white people, despite the fact that there are vastly more white people as a percentage of the population than there are blacks and Jews.
. . .
I truly would like everyone to be civil and respectful to one another, but I must admit in one way I get a kick out of the hate I get from liberals by wearing my MAGA hat it shows either they misunderstand or theyre just closed-minded, hateful and intolerant, he writes.

I can't imagine, for example, that Ellen degrneres would be thrilled to be associated with this gem.

They honestly believe they are discriminated against. It cracks me up, but there is not a darn thing anyone can say that will convince them otherwise.

In other words, he is trying to get attention to himself to monetize his social media presence.
