Decided to make this an OP re: Trump Voters [View all]

I know, this is probably flogging a dead horse, but I am officially sick and tired of the "we must reach out to them" mentality.

Here is what I posted in another thread, and I will repost this in every thread going forward:

They voted for a person who was SHOWN TIME AFTER TIME to be a liar, a sex criminal, a racist, and someone who every day demonstrated that he was stunningly unqualified for the job.

Both Hillary and Bernie were out there EVERY DAY proving him wrong, unqualified, perverted, racist, a misogynist, and putting forth a positive, strong program to move America forward.

Trump was out there every day spouting hate, racism, misogyny, ignorance, filth, and blatant lies. And they flocked to him.

I'm done with those folks. Done. If you can reach them, awesome. I will gladly admit I was wrong that they were unreachable.

But right now, I am too exhausted, frightened, and angry to even think about "reaching out" to people who voted for the KKK's endorsed candidate. They have given every indication that they are after ME and either deporting me or depriving me of my rights as an American citizen.
