quote [ Donald Trump ran a campaign of racist demagoguery against Muslim Americans, Hispanic immigrants, and black protesters. He indulged the worst instincts of the American psyche and winked to the stream of white nationalists and anti-Semites who backed his bid for the White House. Millions of Americans voted for this campaign, thus elevating white nationalism and white reaction to the Oval Office. ]
They are scum.

My point is that it's fine to make this observation, but fucking useless... and if we don't start moving away from ACTIVELY HARMFUL. These people did vote for a misogynistic, racist, irresponsible douchebag and what is more those that did it, know full well they did.
That mattered less to them than the need to change how business is done in Washington. One of the contributing factors to them not giving enough of a shit about these facts is because these facts have been used to try to push establishment candidates and to show how people on the left are unwilling to discuss the matter reasonably. The more we push this narrative the further we push them away.
What is more important to you right now, being right and feeling good, or being right and being able to win?

This is why I had hoped the Greens did better. I do not believe the average Democrat is even capable of this self-realization and every day I am being proven right.
