I’m getting quite strained from the sentiment I’m gathering from people who possess a level of cynicism to where, they believe all Americans deserve what’s happening and been happening. I don’t agree with that.

There are 75 million Americans, who tried, really tried to get out there and prevent what was to come. We just didn’t expect to be outnumbered by two million more people. But I think it’s unfair to say that those 75 million americans who tried to prevent the floodgates from opening, deserve this. Because they don’t.

There are other countries out in the world right now, who have just as bad leadership if not worse. Should we just assume the people there deserve it? No. Because there are probably people who are likely against their corrupt leaders. America is no different in that field.

We will try again come mid-terms, provided there are mid-terms. Hopefully the 77 million americans who did in fact vote for trump, have gotten enough of a wake-up call, that maybe their poor judgment and poorer decision making wasn’t as good as they thought. Because it is they that have damned us to this mess and we know it, we’ve seen it.

But don’t get this idea in your head that every American endorse the idea that we like what we have.

    Or it’s saying “My vote was surpressed”. They couldn’t get time off, they’re too tired from work, there aren’t enough polling places, polling stations aren’t open at the correct hours, they have more immediate problems to solve, the waiting times are too long, etc…

      Don’t forget “purged from the voter roles” “registration inexplicably changed/deleted” and other fun beurocratic nonsense also used to surpress votes

      There is something to be said for disenfranchisement… but the solution to it isnt to give up, it’s to fight back and demand the voice youre owed.
