Don't fall for the trap. One of the reasons that Republican politicians are so dangerous is that they push division. Division is not a solution. It's a threat. Don't fall into the very trap as Republicans.

I'm sorry but this type of rhetoric is a slap in the face to the immigrants and queer Americans that are under attack and having rights stripped away by this administration, and facing hate crimes by the people that voted for these politicians. They are actively spewing hate about real people, deporting them, taking away their rights, and demonizing them. And then when those marginalized groups respond some privileged people have the balls to criticize the marginalized groups by saying "don't fall for their trap"... Motherfucker their rights are under attack. Lying down and taking it is not a good answer.

Especially because so many of those people live in red states, and have absolutely no way to change that (trust me I would if I could)
