Well said. Too many people believe diversity = conformity. Scott Adams pointed out that Trumps supporters took him seriously, but not literally -- and his detractors were the opposite, taking him literally and not seriously. The downside of his seemingly preferred method of communication, the tweet, is that unless carefully crafted, the point being made can be left open to interpretation. Your interpretation is, I would argue, the most reasonable. Taking it as an attack on the First Amendment is a bit extreme. Another clause in that Amendment is the freedom of speech -- which extends to even our president. I think a case could be made that it was a bit petulant, disappointingly, but watching the reaction in the press, the parade of people claiming that they were living in fear now could be construed as a contributing factor to the animosity expressed toward President Elect Trump. So, he has a point -- albeit not very artfully conveyed.
