Step 1: Vote for Trump. Step 2: ...?
If you really want to make America great again, look to the future.


Let me be perfectly clear: If you’re voting for Trump, you are not a person I care to know. Whether you’re a blood relative, an old flame, a schoolmate, or a co-worker, your vote tells me you don’t value my marriage (as Trump promises to appoint Supreme Court nominees who will strike down that marriage right), you don’t value the safety and well-being of our children (as Trump incites violence against minorities), you don’t support the rights or see the inherit value of women (see: groping, alleged child rape, women’s health, right to choose, equal pay, etc.), you don’t value each and every human life (see: gun control, right to choose, programs for the needy, immigration, value for all ethnicities) or you don’t understand the dire importance of climate change (Trump thinks it’s a hoax.)

Can't seem to post a clickable link, sorry

Donald Trump’s success reveals a frightening weakness in American democracy: Trump found a flaw in our political system, and we have no way to fix it.
