If you voted for him, you supported what he stands for.
It’s not just about hoping he lowers your costs or ends abortion or puts Republicans back in power. You can’t say your one pet issue stands alone and everything else doesn’t matter.
He has repeatedly and loudly promoted and encouraged the following:
- division between white males and everyone else
- devaluing women, lying as a lifestyle
- taking away basic rights from LGBTQ+ people
- hating people not like you
- committing crimes — including felonies — without consequence
- ignoring the rule of law
- setting aside the Constitution
- regaining/retaining power whatever it takes
- ignoring experts
- mocking science
- partnering with white nationalists
- making his rich friends richer
- giving tax breaks to rich corporations who support him
- casting aside our alliances with other countries, and
- admiring “strong man” autocrats who use fear to make everyone do what they want.
Whether you voted for him because you want cheaper goods or you think he represents your Christian values (even though he doesn’t seem to have any understanding of them and definitely lives his life in direct opposition to them), if you voted for him, then you also supported all the ideas listed above.
He stands for all those things and wants all those things.
And you voted for him.
