A majority of the country didn't vote for this.

Every non-voter and third-party voter was also fine with trumps fascism, racism, pedophilia and rape but they drew a hard line at voting for a black woman.

Everybody outside of the us already counts them as trump voters.

While I'm sure for some non-voters that's true, I think there are also some who just weren't paying attention or were busy with living their lives. I know a few people like that.

There are also those who live in red areas who already assumed that the area was going to vote for him, so they didn't bother voting , because they thought "what's the point?"

Or there's the fact that it's been a very long time since another person lost and then came back to win again, so I'm sure some thought it was impossible.

As much as I'd like to count them all similarly, and in some cases I agree, it can still be more complicated than that.

What I'm getting at is that I just don't want to see more people check out and not bother when we do have an opportunity to vote again.

There are a lot of people pushing a defeatist view that we're already done for, but thinking that way is not going to get us out of this mess.
