Let’s be clear about how the electorate spoke this past election:
They (the unsilent majority) said very clearly that character does not matter.
Truthfulness doesn’t matter.
Compassion toward your fellow humans, including legal immigrants, does not matter.
Stealing things from work (classified things, boxes and boxes of them no less!) doesn’t matter.
Speaking of women and people of color in the most demeaning and disgusting terms possible does not matter.
Sedition, however flagrant and televised, does not matter.
Whether or not women and girls will be forced to bear their rapists’ babies does not matter.
Nor does women and girls bleeding out and entering septic shock because DJTs handpicked court threw out Roe and now states are back to 1860s laws dominating women and girls’ bodies.
All that matters is your (white or light) skin color.
All that matters is your (male) gender.
All that matters is the letter (R) by your name in the ballot.
And if you can throw in blatant and sickening violence towards groups you fear and hate, that meets voters approval too.
We cannot normalize DJT, or his voters.
And even if in the grand scheme of things one voter does not matter much, I will never normalize and of the above, and I’ll never bend the knee. Perhaps our sense of justice, dignity and our need to resist tyranny and injustice are all we have left. Better to lose the whole world, than you own soul. Thank you Bulwark, for keeping your soul in these dark times. We shall overcome.
