It's hard to argue what people would have been cool with under Clinton given Clinton wasn't elected. If you're determined that those who are protesting now just don't get it, you're absolutely right, you won't be able to work with them. You've already closed off that opportunity before you've even tried.

not even an ability to understand what the problem is

Do you really, honestly believe that so many people are completely unreasonable? If so, what do you think the path forward is? Do you write all of these people off? What do you do with them then?

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I think Trump is the problem. I think the problem is that people aren't willing to look beyond some of their differences to work towards the goals they have in common.

Though from you comment, it's not clear to me what you consider the problem to be. Would you elaborate?

Once you're at the point where you no longer consider others reasonable, you're effectively stuck. You can't reach them, nor are you open to being reached by them. This is a position from which no civil progress can be made. I'm willing to accept such a position with only the greatest reluctance.

You're putting words into my mouth.

I very well may have. Please elaborate so I may understand what you mean. I've already asked once before. Please point out every place you feel I've misunderstood or misrepresented you, explaining what you do mean so we can at least try to understand each other.
