"Then the weakened roots, having grown accustomed to the poison, responded one day to severe pressure, and the tooth fell free, leaving a ragged stump behind" (Morrison 116)
Calm down guys. Tuesday was not a day that only racists and bigots and sexists and "ists" won. To generalize to that effect with that big of a toothbrush would just be another swig of poison for our democracy. To suppose that Trump supporters are a anti-(women-muslim-latino-disabled) monolith is short-sighted and marginalizes the people who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and had now voted Trump.
Green once held a middle-class job. Now, to make enough money to send his children to college, he works the equivalent of two full-time jobs: one maintaining highways for the state of North Carolina and one ushering fans and collecting trash for a variety of sports teams around Winston-Salem. The factory worker who took pride in his work for decades has lost his dignity to a foreign market. They feel neglected and mocked by the crony capitalism and corruption which follows Clinton and are tired of the same old, same old. They wanted something to change and so they elected the Trump.
While it surely is for a part of the Trump base, a majority of Trump supporters did not vote for him because he said denigrating things about women and minorities and tells us all about it at odd hours on Twitter, but despite it.
With complete optimism I face the future. The ball is in the Republicans' court and if they drop it, its on them and them alone. I sincerely hope that Trump does follow through with his plan to make America the best, and maybe he can come out as one of the best American presidents we've ever had. I am a Muslim and I'm not scared of an ban, or any plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. There are checks and balances and youknowwhat the Muslim ban has already been pulled from the website. ¯\_ツ_/¯
