At this point, is anybody surprised when Donald Trump says or does something ridiculous, or bigoted, or hateful? Are we surprised that stories and recordings and videos have been uncovered, showing just how awful his character actually is? I am no longer surprised by the things that Donald Trump does. Disgusted, yes. But not surprised.

What I am surprised with is how people still support him.

Recently, a recording of Donald Trump was released. In this recording, Trump had this to say in regards to women:

“When you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump said. “You can do anything,”

He adds seconds later: “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

These are not the comments of a man who should be President of the United States. These are the comments of a man that does not respect women. These are the comments of a man who objectifies, marginalizes, abuses, and uses women. If these comments aren’t clear, Trump is talking about forcing himself upon women. He is promoting rape culture. He is promoting sexual violence. It’s absolutely disgusting and it’s absolutely unacceptable.

I understand that Hillary Clinton is not an ideal candidate for president. I understand and respect the issues that people have with her. But this isn’t about her right now. It isn’t about Bill Clinton and his history with women and extramarital affairs - he’s not even the one running for President this time. This is about the fact that a large number of American citizens have stood behind a man who diminished sexual assault to simple “locker room talk.”

We’ve seen throughout this entire election that Trump is only a good candidate for people like him - straight, white Christian men with money. He has attacked minorities, Muslims, people with disabilities, the LGBT community, and now women. He has taken advantage of tax codes that normal people don’t have the opportunity to do and wants to implement economic policies that will leave anyone that falls below the top 1% in the dust. If you haven’t realized it yet, let me be the first to tell you: if you are not white, male, straight, Christian, and rich, Donald Trump has probably spoken about his problems, opinions, or thought on you, based off of things you can’t control. Do you really want him to be President of the United States.

I sure as hell don’t. And I hope you don't either.
