@CONald_is_A_false_Prophet Think about how you might feel if Trump were re-elected and things got so bad that you had to flee your country. The president of the nearby country to which you have fled tries to stage an invasion to take back the U.S. using U.S. exiles. At the last moment, as you and your countryman are on boats en route to the landing beaches, the president withdraws all support. You land on the beaches and most of your army of exiles is tortured and slaughtered by the Trump forces.
You survive and somehow make it back to your host country. Eventually, you become a citizen. Are you EVER going to trust the political party of the president that betrayed you? Probably not to your dying day.
Maybe it’s still not clear to you. My mother’s side of the family is Japanese American. My mother, my aunt, both my grandparents, and everyone else in the family living in California were imprisoned in concentration camps by a Democratic President. Until she died, my grandmother always voted Republican, never for a single Democrat because of what that Democratic president did to Japanese Americans. Do you get it how deep historical political animosity can go?
I want you to think about history a bit, and how you should learn some details about a group’s history before you might unintentionally insult them. If you understand their history, you’ll be in a better position to persuade them.
