I know epicmafia isn't the best place for political discourse but this is the platform I have and I consider you friends enough to value your opinions and I want to hear your thoughts.
We have been blind. That's a fact. Liberals along with the media, celebrities, academics, polls have all had a skewed view that we live in a world where social values like political correctness, gender/sexuality equality, women's rights are not nearly as widely accepted as we thought. Whenever Trump supporters shouted "The media lies!" they weren't wrong. In their delusion, liberals espoused a champion that was simply a poor candidate to appeal to the working class.
On Tuesday, anyone who felt ostracized by an establishment that took their jobs, angered by corruption, and frowned upon political correctness joined the people with conservative values, christian values, along with (let's face it) vehement racists, and together formed a majority that elected Donald Trump as President of the United States.
Now, Clinton supporters are angry. Minorities are rightfully scared. Trump supporters are content but annoyed at the reaction. Some however are gloating unabashedly while others are taking it as vindication of violence against minorities.
Where do we go from here?
To the people that voted for Trump: Do you acknowledge Trump has made misogynist and sexist remarks? Are you okay with him representing us or do you wish it was someone else? Should Trump threaten immigrants, LGBTQ ppl, or muslims, will you stand by them or support that choice?
To the people that voted Clinton: Do you think Clinton would have been a progressive President? Do you think there was better candidate? What will you do for social progress in the next four years?
To the people that voted 3rd party: Do you regret you decision or stand by your conscience. What will you do for 3rd parties in the next 4 years?
To everyone: How do we reconcile our differences to avoid violence? How do we avoid having an election like this again?
What can we do to cumm together?
