That man has done all he could to make millions of Americans to feel marginalized, to make his "base" to feel superior to all the rest of us. Paraphrasing a Washington Post Opinion headline, he has taught America it is ok to hate again.

I too were a safety pin on my tops and jackets/coats. I like having people ask me why I am doing that. I hope it raises awareness of the fact that not all of us feel safe anymore.

Good luck to you.
