\nRe: \u00a0Why Trump Won<\/p>\n
I \u00a0didn’t vote for Trump, but I most definitely voted for the GOP majority that he helped usher in.<\/p>\n
I’ll just leave you with this:<\/p>\n
Everyone who’s out there breaking things and beating people up?<\/p>\n
Everyone who’s calling the election result a macroaggression and running for your safe space?<\/p>\n
Everyone who keeps repeating that Trump called all Mexicans rapists (he didn’t) or that he’s going to bring on a wave of anti-gay repression (even the NYTimes called him the most pro-LGBT candidate among the GOP field, a year ago)?<\/p>\n
Every teacher who called in “Grief Counselors” for the kids they’d painstakingly trained to be distraught over the election?<\/p>\n
Everyone who took Wednesday off from work to cry about the election? Posting “He’s not my president” memes on Facebook? Jabbering about moving to Canada?<\/p>\n
And above all, everyone who sniffs down your nose at what a bunch of morons your fellow citizens seem to be?<\/p>\n
YOU are why Donald Trump won.<\/p>\n
Not “racists”. Not Wall Street (they donated overwhelmingly to Hillary). Not ignorant rubes. Not me, a humble weekend talk show host who cordially disliked Trump’s public persona twenty years before most of you were making The Apprentice appointment TV.<\/p>\n
You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
