Regardless of what happens, 48% of voters in US supported hate, greed, and anti-science. Until we accept and address these persistent issues, we cannot progress as a country.
Since the trolling has started, here’s my logic. In the 10 months leading up to this election, the actions of our incumbent president directly *caused* the deaths of >200k Americans and counting & wiped 12 trillion dollars from our economy.
Anyone voting for him must have an even stronger motive. The only ones I can think of are hate, greed, and anti-science. I file taking away a woman’s right to choose under hate and anti-science.
I should also add, especially noting the comments from the trolls, propaganda from Fox News and state-sponsored actors is clearly still a big factor (which many of the tech companies hold a large share of the blame for).
I’m desperate to have a civil, passionate debate about all the issues facing our country. But, voting for someone who regularly threatens the core tenants of a democracy is not how we start those conversations.
So, I’m convinced that until we admit and address the hate, greed, and anti-science in this country (which almost certainly requires constitutional reform), we will never progress.
