My younger son is taking this very, very hard. Today he mentioned that my aunt posted a pro-Trump meme on Facebook saying if he has a woman, a black, and a homosexual working for him, be can't be a racist, misogynist, homophobe. My son's response: Hitler had Jews, homosexuals and people of color working for him, too. Just not for very long, and there was high "turnover."
