We are stronger than they are, because we have the moral high ground. We don’t need to debase ourselves and support an asshole sexual predator. We don’t have to resort to hate and voter suppression to win. Our core voters aren’t dying off; they are growing. Arizona, Georgia, Texas are the future. The Rust Belt is … waning.
But Trump tapped into something visceral, and whites responded. “America is changing because of those people, and I don’t like it!” So it didn’t matter that we crushed our own numbers, they made people feel like their backs were up against the wall, and it worked. They voted as if their lives depended on it, even though it didn’t.
There’s no way to sugarcoat this—we’re in for a world of ****. It’s going to be awful. But we’ll be here, bedeviling Trump and his party, making their lives as miserable as possible, until we wither succeed, or I’m in ****ing prison.
No one is leaving this country. We love it, and we love our people. So we’re going to fight for it.
