Obama was just as divisive. Trump is simply less subtle about his stances, which makes it easier to paint him as the bad guy.

sounds like a lot of effort really.

Yes, he will not divide us, half the population calling the other half low life racists, will.
Yes, he will not divide us, people deeming themselves superior human beings based on political affiliations, will.
This slogan is as dumb as a bunch of right wingers standing, arms linked and chanting "obama will not destroy america!" its utterly meaningless and filled with irony

In a way this is. Perhaps not for the older generation, but for people still maturing and growing up ( i consider this ages 1-20 ) this without a doubt alters your perception on reality. Though its presented with "good intent" lololol. When you grow up in a culture that demonizes someone, thats all you know. This issue goes beyond just what this thread is about though, parenting is also an issue where pressing your political views on your child his/her whole life will obviously have an impact on how they view the world. Religion as well.
Either way, the divide in america is between the east/west coast and the middle. I just think the coasts are massively disconnected from certain issues which lead to trumps victory.

There's a difference between a political slogan and encouraging people to stand and chant the same thing over and over. I would find a 'protest' that encourages people to chant the MAGA slogan over and over again a form of brainwashing as well, but for some crazy reason it doesn't seem like Trump supporters have thought to create their own version of HWNDU.
I also wonder why many of these protests have people who doggedly attempt to harass anyone giving coverage of the protest. Isn't the point of protesting to get a message out, but why would these people attack anyone who records the protest with a camera? Or perhaps the protests are just a means by which they cement the brainwashing of the actual protesters, and the real goal of the protests aren't to get a message out.

Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Except the term 'racist' isn't used exclusively for people who have demonstrated they are racist and is often claimed to be not applicable to people from certain demographics, regardless of them demonstrating they are racist, so it is becoming pretty meaningless as a term.
Looks like somebody hacked them, now it says:
'He just divided us. @Islahgang'
