Treating Trump's Supporters with Dignity
Jonathan Capehart interviewed Arthur Brooke, head of the American Enteprise Institute, in the January 25, 2017 Washington Post. Brooke attributed some of Trump's victory to the new President's delivery of dignity to the segment of the population who gave him his winning margin in the key states.
It is admirable, indeed, to treat everyone with dignity. However, how deserving of dignity are people who rely on appeals to their prejudices against other ethnicities, other religions and other races for their consent to provide electoral support to a presidential candidate. For that matter, with how much dignity did President Trump treat his opponent, Secretary Hillary Clinton, during the campaign?
