Is it really true that Donald Trump hates Mexicans, gay people, and black people? How do you know? That's a pretty strong accusation to make without very good evidence.

This link below is a thoughtful review of some of the evidence. You are, of course, free to disagree.

Let's say I'm a religious. It IS a choice. Is it OK to ban me from doing anything for this very reason?

Actually our beliefs are not a choice - they are a cumulative result of the arguments that the person has heard. If you don't believe it, try and like Trump. So you can choose to act like you like (or don't) something, but you can't choose to like (or not) something.

So instead of creating better arguments in the support of your political beliefs, you're telling people to just pretend to be on your side.
