(4,375 posts)And maybe something else which I won't allude to here. It becomes a thing where I keep throwing out facts because people want to blame white women. Not white men, but white women. Which is fine, but blame the @13%. I don't defend anyone voting for the creep, but at least get your facts straight. If we can't get factual about who actually voted for DT, then how are we to address the issues raised by a minority of eligible voters choosing our future? I know what you mean about feeling like you can't breathe. But just keep putting the reality out there. It's as if there is a level of anger that they keep justifying it with the 53-47% without wanting to understand that there are always at least two factors to a percentage. It feels intentional when the facts don't support their assertions. In this case accounting for demographics and eligible voters who actually voted is multiple. Age, sex, party, race, and voting record. It's become so polarized, and coupled with the violence, that I feel like I may retire abroad.
