To the trump supporters (from Facebook)
Dear Trump supporters:
You created us when your uninformed voting put a dangerously incompetent man into the White House.
You created us when your patriotic outrage was not stirred by proof that a hostile, foreign government interfered in a process we hold sacred.
You created us when with your vote you have caused this country to be imperiled by the choices of your candidate's cabinet picks. His Department of Energy does not know how the Department of Energy functions.
You created us when you tried to still our righteous anger with your mocking patronization.
You created us when your candidate openly derided a handicapped man and your silence was deafening.
You created us when your contemptible tantrum elected a man who was sanctioned and fined for refusing to rent to black people.
Who believes sexual assault is just good ole boys having fun.
Who has expunged the exemplary qualities of the Latino population by his malevolent words about them.
And by the glaring absence of Latino participation in any part of his administration.
You created us when you insist prayer belongs in publicly funded schools, instead of churches. The Founding Fathers held firm on this principle with good reason.
You created us when you put our federal budget at the mercy of a man who will not release his tax returns. Who has a long inventory of failed business ventures, including four bankruptcies.
You created us by not joining us.By clinging resolutely to the belief in the virtue of your choice, despite overwhelming confirmation of the folly of your vote.
You created us when you dismiss critical thinking as something to be ashamed of instead of something that is vital to a thriving democracy.
You created us by your continued wilful ignorance, your misplaced ire, and your stubborn refusal to see the truth.
- Janet Keplan
