How can anyone support this?

I've tried to keep politics off my main page and confine it to my replies, but this is just sickening.

This isn't winning. This isn't making us great. This is sick. This is Trump's America, and I want no part of it.

It's not enough, reading some responses here, to say this shouldn't be surprising or this is just what Trump does. This demands action. This is not okay. This is burning the town down so we can say it wasn't overcome by flood.

And we'd all do well to remember: [b]"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

We're not powerless. Our knowledge leads to action, our action is in our votes, our votes decide the make-up of our government and our government will rule well and mercifully as long as we maintain our vigilance.

This is not ok! This is not normal! #resist
@Graylight Absolutely ! People may [b]be[/b] surprised that we’re surprised. I’m surprised that some people are so complacent and checked out that a few are even saying they won’t [b]vote[/b]. That’s how Trump got into office in the [b]first[/b] place. This process will go on whether you participate or not, and voting is the only thing you can do besides actively campaigning or protesting if you don’t like how things are.

@Fernie 🤗 Awww.

That's the circular argument I find myself having all the time.

"I hate (the president, politics, my governor, etc.)."
"Did you vote?"
"Politics sucks and my vote doesn't matter."
"Then you end up with the choice being made for you."
"I don't vote because we'll just end up with someone everyone hates."
"But you didn't vote and you ended up with people you hate."

🤦‍♀️

@Graylight Absolutely maddening
