- b.c.,
Word salad isn't delicious.
It's called obfuscation via BULLSHIT. They keep telling us, "Get over it, Hillary lost," but they keep bringing her UP as if she didn't. Hillary isn't occupying the Oval Office, Trump is... (well, that is, a couple of days per week when he isn't golfing at Mar-A-Lago on the taxpayer's DIME) ... and the Democrats aren't in control of Congress. So all this "whatabout Hillary" stuff is nothing more than piss-poor deflections so as not to talk about TRUMP and GOP policy making that is harmful to Americans.
Fact is, it's not just about hating on Trump, as some have suggested. Other than THE fact that he serves to legitimize, promote, and INSPIRE a lot narrow minded hate filled THINKING, the concerns of left leaning individuals go much further than personal dislike of the guy and (though this may be difficult to GRASP) has to do with IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES in priorities and beliefs.
Specifically, the CAUSES of our angst and disdain include (but ARE NOT LIMITED TO) things like:
- GOP actions that disenfranchised certain voters via voter suppression laws, and diluted the votes of minorities via gerrymandering, poll closures, and the like
- GOP efforts to fight increases to the minimum wage that might prevent people working full time jobs from STILL living below the poverty level
- Trump's positions regarding anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-minority legislation
- Trump appointments of heads of agencies, departments, and judgeships of unqualified personnel and/or personnel whose own ideologies are contrary to the purpose and intended function of the agency
- Trump/GOP denials of climate changes and the undermining of environmental regulations and the EPA
- Trump's encouragement of Russian interference in the November elections (IF not outright collusion), specifically standing before the American public and imploring Russia to hack American servers (to use his own words, "What a disgrace!")
- Trump/GOP efforts to undermine consumer protections from unscrupulous business, banking, and lending practices
- Trump/GOP efforts to undermine healthcare coverage in ways that would result in the loss of life saving coverage for millions
- Trump/GOP tax proposals that will result in increases to poor and middle class incomes while cutting corporate taxes and taxes for the wealthy
- Trump's behavior (words and actions) with regard to foreign policy that risk an increase in global tensions and conflict while undermining confidence in America among our allies
- Trump/Republican defense and support of sexual predators (those accused of assault and harassment) like Ailes, Hannity, and Moore
- Trump/GOP opposition to better gun control legislation
- Trump's DELIBERATE AND CALCULATED use of divisive, hate filled rhetoric for the purpose of promoting himself while distracting from his/their agenda, resulting in the fomenting of hate speech and thought, an increase in the open expression of such sentiment, and the associated rise and empowerment of supremacists, neo-nazis, alt-right separatists, and similar groups, here and abroad.
Incidentally, NONE of which a Trump voter (save one here) would REGRET... APPARENTLY.
