It can be very difficult to get a handle on the current political atmosphere in America. It’s easy to say we’ve never seen anything like it here, but it can be hard to put a finger on exactly how we got to this point. How did a demagogue like Donald Trump manage to get himself elected in a country that values women’s rights, freedom of the press, diversity, charity, and kindness — when all of those things are antithetical to what Trump stands for? Well, the first finger gets pointed at the electoral college, the outdated and racist system that allowed him to win despite getting three million fewer votes than his challenger. It’s a relative no-brainer that we need to address that inequity in our democracy if we want leaders who actually represent what America stands for.
But despite all of the arguing you’ve seen in the last three years about who’s to “blame” for Trump — was Hillary a good enough candidate, did too many people stay home, should we stop letting third-party candidates run (those are all things people have said since 2016) — the actual group responsible for putting Trump in charge is Trump voters. Period.
