As he watched the news of the presidential election in the last week, Kory Duquette became increasingly agitated. Pundits were blaming a whitelash for Donald Trumps win and called it a massive exercise of angry white ballot power.
Civil rights groups said the president-elects victory has inspired dozens of attacks on blacks, Latinos and Muslims by people who shared Trumps suspicions about immigrants. Commentators said that in his quest for a win, Trump pandered to Americas darkest racist impulses.
Duquette, a 37-year-old Trump supporter from Alabama, was ready to fight back.
