There's nothing to forgive, and it's not like I hold grudges. Had I a vote in this election, it would have gone to Clinton (even though I don't particularly like her).
I get it. I get the disgust, the moral outrage, I get and even agree with most of it. But you're only hurting yourself by refusing to hear people out. And you're hurting your entire democratic system by putting people in two baskets. A system that's already really poorly designed (for the citizens, that is - it's great at keeping people in power).
How would you like it if I put the world in two buckets: "Americans" and "Non-americans", and said that obviously all americans love and agree with trump since they voted for him? Do you think that'd be productive, useful or right in any way?
Hear people out. Understand their issues. When there's bigotry, try to figure out where it's coming from.
If you're on this website, chances are high you're a software engineer, so hear this out: debug the damn issues, get to the root cause rather than putting the blame on whatever is most convenient.
