What have you learned about America from the trump presidency?
I’ve learned that most, not all, of the Republican Party put their interests ahead of the US constitution and welfare of all Americans.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought so many of my fellow Americans, let alone PEOPLE I THOUGHT I KNEW, would endorse and blindly continue to defend a corrupt, sick man and a party- which has become a haven for right-wing extremists, pedophiles, rapists...
I realize now how bigotry is at the core of our country’s brokenness, and how religion is weaponized to allow bigotry to flourish. It's scary just how much influence religion has on policy, that it's growing, and how a complete fraud like trump can play on those beliefs despite not having a religious bone in his body.
I knew there was ongoing virulent racism, but I don't/can't believe the majority of people think this way. They are just more hatefully loud and aggressive than those of us who want Democracy and a unified, peaceful country. I fear we are too disbelieving of what's going on and not enough action.
The bigotry, and the profound depths of racism is alive and well in America. The disparities are endless and institutional. The electoral college was literally established so slave owners got more votes.
Should we be grateful that trump brought this to the surface? We can’t ever go back now. The hatred is really fear. Fear drives most folks unfortunately. It's so much more peaceful to be in acceptance. That’s true freedom.
