I will also add that anger is a perfectly acceptable reaction to this election, as is more subdued discourse. Both are needed, the former to fight against the complacency we slide into if we accept the unacceptable. Juster's response is tone deaf no matter how deep he dredges his genes (ooo! 60% hispanic!) when Trump has just appointed a white supremacist to his cabinet.
These calls to civil discourse only (as opposed to civil discourse and anger) are always hypocritical: notice, for instance, that a mere mention of Juster's whiteness has him crying ad hom, yet he expects those who have so much more to lose should muster the utmost restraint and simply talk it out. Rage, rage against the dying of your rights.
