Anyone else noticing #fakepresident cultists begging for respect?

I'm supposed to respect fascists? I flat out asked one of them why I should respect them. Check this out:

Me: Serious question: why do you deserve anything but "divisive?" What do you think you and cult leader have to offer to a majority who detest everything your cult represents?

Cult Follower: Wow
You asked two questions...

“Why do I️ deserve anything but divisive? Don’t we all deserve unity...love for fellow man?
How will we ever get there with your hate?
And your follow up question is rude and vague considering that you don’t know me or my views.
That is my subtle answer.

And until moderate Trump supporters come out against their fellow travelers who think "MAGA" means less or no GLBTQ people, Muslims, or black people being sooooo uppity that they actually think their lives should matter then they're not giving an iota of respect, and so they get none in return.

Never once did I feel it necessary to ask Obama or Hillary critics to show respect for them.

And I've seen these type of comments since the '16 election.

So many politicians use the media to demand apologies from other politicians. "Why Senator, I demand an apology!" Who wants a damn insincere apology from anyone? Just a time waster. Expend energy getting something real done.
