I watched the election results with disbelief & dismay. I feel disheartened to acknowledge that whether by ignorance, hate, or both, a majority of the American voters have embraced xenophobia, sexism, racism, & a candidate w unprecedented narcissism, 0 experience as a public servant, and 0 ability to relate to the struggles of avg. Americans. I refuse to believe that the majority of Americans share the values of #DonaldTrump. I think as a ppl. we are better than what Trump represents. I’m very concerned that we are eroding the civility that is necessary for our govt to function for the common good. We have taken a very dark turn as a nation. We all know that Clinton & Trump are the two most unpopular candidates to run for president, but their unfavorable attributes are not comparable. Clinton may exhibit careerism, but she has shown a compassionate commitment to vulnerable groups & public service for 30 + yrs. There is no doubt Clinton is extremely qualified to be president. Trump was born rich, has a history of reckless & unscrupulous business dealings, is a womanizer, a liar, & his greed/ego spit in the face of common good & equality. I can only hypothesize that the Trump win is a result of voter apathy on one side, as well as voter turnout driven by sexism & low information, on the other side. The main reason why my wife and I founded #MakeAmericaSmartAgain was to combat both of the factors I believe led to the Trump victory-voter apathy & low information. @govotemasa urges people to vote, but also to inform themselves about the issues that matter to them so that they may vote for, rather than against, their best interest. I’m horrified that we are now saddled w the results of apathy & ignorance. Clearly, we have a lot of work to do! We need to do everything we can to educate ourselves and others and push back against the culture of Trump. I’m feeling depressed, but not demotivated. This wake up call proves that rust never sleeps and cancer always grows. Let's look in our hearts and do everything we can to reject idiocracy, embrace our common humanity and common good, and push for informed empowerment and GOOD ideas within our democracy!
