I'm going to take a moment to address a bit of an elephant in the room:

Trump supporters, our criticism of him is not criticism of you. Trump wants you to believe it is, because then you won't recognize us. You won't realize we're your friends, your neighbors, 1/5

2/5 your brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. We don't resist him to spite you, we stand up because we care about you, and we don't want to see him continue to take advantage of you. We love you, we love our country, and we want to see everyone succeed,

3/5 but that's not the direction we're going right now. All the country's power and wealth are accumulating at the top in record amounts, and the people with both are working hard to convince you it's the people you see every day causing your problems. The thing is,

4/5 it's not. We struggle every day just as you do, and we want to make everyone's struggle less painful. We want to work with you against the people in power conspiring to hold everyone but them down, and they're terrified we might succeed, so they demonize us. But we love you,

5/5 so we persist. Because we're worth it, America is worth it, and you're worth it. We can disagree on many issues, but it's important we all understand: the average voter isn't the problem. We're all frustrated, and we all want to fight lies, greed, and corruption.
