If Hillary Clinton stated that the Donald J Trump campaign is a campaign that is supported by bigots, racists, misogynists, xenophobes she may be correct.
Those people DO exist in America. They have been marginalized and extricated from political discussion only to be used as a bad example.
That is, until Trump.
Trump brought this growing segment of mostly Caucasian individuals back into the political forefront in a connotative positive way.
These individuals and those Caucasians who have felt more & more dispensable, for a multitude of reasons, throughout the past 40 years came-out en-masse and VOTED.
Often voting for the first time in decades.
America is a melting pot. THE LARGEST and most successful melting pot in history.
K.K.K. members, BLM members and many other growing fringe groups and the individuals that make-up those groups ARE accepted in The Width & Breadth of Acceptance Found in America as long as they do not willingly break the law.
I am proud of that fact.
As someone stated in another thread, Democracy Stands Only if Freedom of Thought is Maintained.

What a novel situation it would be for me to run into a Democrat or Republican who doesn't have a bunch of views that I think are ridiculous. Of course, then most likely they'd not be Republicans or Democrats.

The U.S.'s political system sucks.
But it's all RELATIVE and SUBJECTIVE isn't it? A KKK wizard's viewpoint is just as valid as anyone else's.
Yeah. I agree, as far as a definition of valid for an individual.
I guess - David Duke's viewpoints are valid unto himself...
Wikipedia -
Validity: In logic, an argument is valid if and only if it takes a form that makes it impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false.
It is not required that a valid argument have premises that are actually true, but to have premises that, if they were true, would guarantee the truth of the argument's conclusion. A formula is valid if and only if it is true under every interpretation, and an argument form (or schema) is valid if and only if every argument of that logical form is valid.
You yanks are just so weird, sick, and confused. You crucify Michael Richards for losing his temper and saying things he probably shouldn't (who hasn't?) but you don't bat an eyelid at your celebrity roasts, where 'niGgers' 'pussies' 'black cock' and 'I'm assuming you were raised by your grandmother' jokes rain down like angel dust. You despise David Duke, but treat your cops as heroes (or at the worst give them a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket) when they shoot black people.
