(Intentionally) Gullible Clinton Supporters?

I'm seeing lots of angry Facebook posts about anti-semitism from Trump supporters, and hate speech from his supporters, and bullying at schools, and KKK rallies, and all kinds of fear about how Trump is a white nationalist who, at best, is passively going to turn this country into a racist cesspool, and at worst, is going to make America into Nazi Germany and kill or expel all the gays, blacks, Muslims, immigrants, and who knows who else.

At work, I have colleagues who are literally act like they are in mourning. They say they can't sleep at night. They look sullen. They talk like Hitler himself won the presidential election.

There are so many people who are encouraging protests against Trump, and not accepting his presidency. Who are predicting the doom of America, and the urgency in rising up against Trump and his supporters.

Yet where are the condemnations from these same people when an innocent, white man was beaten up in Chicago by a group of black people for no other reason than that he was white, and that he was a Trump supporter?

Or when Trump protests turn violent, and they destroy innocent people's property, and injure people?

Or acknowledging when Trump clearly and immediately, in no uncertain terms, denounces any harassment of minorities from his own supporters?

I also have doubts about the veracity of the reports of harassment by Trump supporters. Here is one article proving many reports are simply made up.

So I wish the Clinton supporters would be less gullible with these reports of Trump supporters' harassment, and more inclined to denounce harassment by Clinton supporters, a lot less apocalyptic, and more even-handed overall.

I mean, if Obama himself is urging Americans to give Trump a chance, when he very, very easily could subtly (or not so subtly) encourage opponents of Trump, I think anti-Trump people should learn a lot from Obama.
