THE CRUX OF IT: Fear and Racism demanded a voice-and got one.
The election is obviously over and the prevalent emotions throughout the country would have to be characterized as anger, fear, anxiety, and a great deal of disheartening.
Protests have only just begun.
The things that this person did and said are well documented. His total lack of policy was public knowledge. The alienation of both the Democrats and the Republicans was unprecedented. But none of those things mattered. What it came down to in the end was two things or some combination of them: FEAR AND RACISM.
Some say that sexism was the largest component. But I reject that. There ABSOLUTELY is a current of sexism within this country but don’t tell me about how it swung this election when some numbers show that more than 50 percent of white women voted for the Simeon super villain. If it were about the things that he said to and about women, then they would have deserted him in droves and men alone couldn’t have affected the outcome as drastically.
I also believe that if Elizabeth Warren had run, she would have won.
So, the candidate’s sex isn’t likely the MAIN factor.
Women decided that it was more urgent to vote their flesh tone than their gender.
The economy and finance were often touted as essential decision makers. But, the electorate voted in favor of a (supposed) billionaire, tax evading, international business man with ties to foreign governments and overseas manufacturing. He’s hired the so-called illegals that he rails against – FREQUENTLY. He’s sent his manufacturing jobs overseas and he’s not paid taxes using the code’s loop-holes for many years.
How can these people think that this person is one of “them”.
They don’t really!
So, that leaves the two previously mentioned culprits; FEAR AND RACISM.
The only thing that was somewhat surprising was the percentage of the country that was willing to exercise their fear and bigotry. One would have guessed that a third of the country was bigoted but the number turned out to be over fifty percent of the electorate.
Some have characterized this in the same way that elections after slavery were. After emancipation, there was a backlash that led to Jim Crow. Well, after President Obama, this President Elect is the backlash that may lead to a similar national condition.
The Oval Office, the Senate, the House, and potentially the Supreme Court are all falling in line for possible ruin.
Now, when this transition has run it’s course, and the damage is done four years from now, I PROMISE that these same sociopaths will blame President Obama and claim that the disaster created was his legacy…
