Twitter Responds Beautifully To Trump's Latest Racist Promise With #MuslimID

Somehow Donald Trump is trolling his way through his candidacy for president, calling Mexicans rapists, suggesting black lives don’t matter, and recommending all Muslim Americans be recorded in a national database. That is some depressing, fucked up shit, and even more infuriating he’s ahead in the polls.

But before you employ a Futurama GIF and lament that humanity is going to hell in a hand basket, check out the response Twitter has had to Trump’s latest racist outburst.

So began a trend that’s urging Trump and his fearmongering base to see Muslims as students, nurses, veterans, doctors, lawyers and you know, people.

They have guns. We have flowers. They have racism. We have faith in each other. Plus Kareem Adbul-Jabbar!

H/T Pajiban kilmo and Uproxx

Kristy Puchko isn’t watching that video about “we have flowers” over and over and weeping into her Cheerios big fat happy tears. Totally not.
