Let's get something straight: Donald J. Trump is a bad person.
He has discriminated against Muslim Americans, women, African Americans, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, veterans, and immigrants of all backgrounds. Name any person that surpasses a plain white male evangelical mold and he has surely disparaged them.
Yet, many of you, Trump supporters, are defending your ballot by claiming that you merely voted for a racist. Or in other words, voting for a racist, sexist, homophobic, hateful candidate does not mean you are any of these titles.
But let's get something straight: Voting for someone who promotes racism, makes you racist. Voting for someone who promotes sexism, makes you sexist. Voting for someone who promotes hate, makes you hateful.
Here's why: Donald J. Trump's candidacy has promised to advocate for policies that threaten the livelihood of many groups of Americans.
Such as LGBTQ people. Mike pence pushes for conversion therapy. This is systematically harmful to who they are.
Such as women. Trump favors policies that make it more expensive for women to access affordable reproductive health services. This is systematically harmful to who they are.
Such as immigrants. Trump plans on deporting hard working immigrants. This is systematically harmful to who they are.
Such as black Americans. Trump wants to institute an enormous police state and has spoken out about bringing back unconstitutional policies, such as stop and frisk, that targeted people of color. This is systematically harmful to who they are.
He is immoral. He has a plan that interferes with millions of Americans way of life purely because of who they are.
That is racist. That is sexist. And that is hateful.
Your "politics" poses a massive threat to many people's basic lifestyle.
And that is sickening.
