Do you have loved ones who voted for Trump who you KNOW are NOT racists/sexists/bigots?

167. And I am sick of being asked to give a pass to people who knowingly voted for a racist

because THEY'RE not racist.

I don't give a damn if they personally think people like me are genetically inferior to them. They lined up with people who do and helped them put a racist into the White House. They each had one vote, just like David Duke and just like I did. But instead of standing with millions of people like me who begged them not to vote for Trump because he is dangerous to us, they ignored us and made a conscious decision to use their votes to bolster David Duke's vote, thereby guaranteeing that a racist would become president.

I don't know if they did it because they're racist or just stupid. And I don't care. But I do know that they were shown ample proof that Donald Trump is a racist who would do great harm to me and people like me and they didn't care.

When the votes were counted, no one could tell which Trump votes were cast by racists and which votes were cast by ignorant, racist-tolerant people and it doesn't matter - they all were counted equally and led to a result they should be ashamed of.

I am NOT going to give them the benefit of the doubt, no matter how hard you try to whitewash their complicity in this national horror. We begged them to give US the benefit of the doubt and they turned their backs on us. There are worse things than being thought to be a racist - and we're about to endure it, thanks in part to them.
