We know that there are people in this country who see our religious, racial, and ethnic diversity as a weakness that will destroy us as a nation.
We also know there are those of us who see our diversity as our greatest strength.
Remember: There are MORE of us than there of THEM.
There are people among us who think certain races are inferior, being intellectually beneath us and inherently lazy.
There are also of us who understand that how a man looks is no measure of who a man is.
Remember: There are MORE of us than there of THEM.
There are people among us who see immigrants as job-stealing criminals intent on gaming the system.
There are also those of who see immigrants as what theyve always been: the hard-working backbone of our country.
Remember: There are MORE of us than there of THEM.
There are those among us who think Christian values includes ignoring the homeless, the sick, and the hungry.
And there are also those of us who believe true Christian values are based on sheltering the homeless, caring for the sick, and feeding the hungry.
Remember: There are MORE of us than there of THEM.
There are those among us who believe that inciting violence is an intelligent means to an end.
But there are also those of us who understand that violence is the last resort of the truly mindless.
Remember: There are MORE of us than there of THEM.
There are those among us who are misogynistic racists blogging from their mamas basement about how they could have been multi-billionaires, were it not for n*gg*rs, Jews, and c*nts ruining their lives.
But there are those of us who know that such ramblings are merely the cries of the pitiful, who would never have amounted to anything under any circumstances.
Remember: There are MORE of us than there of THEM.
If you have worried throughout this campaign about the influence of racists, Muslim-bashers, immigrant-haters, misogynists, bigots, homophobes, xenophobes, and the out-and-out stupid, just remember that there are those of us who are intelligent, well-informed, citizens who recognize a flim-flam man when we see one, and will vote accordingly.
And there are WAY more of US than there are of THEM.

It's just that trump has been torturing us with his ugly hate for long, with the assistance from the US m$m, that it feels like hell @ times.
Thank you, Nance.
