RE: Glenn Greenwald Explains Why Trump Won

in #politics8 years ago

Yes yes yes! Thank you for so eloquently expressing what many of us are feeling.

This isn't the end of the world. It's a giant opportunity for people to get mobilized. Trump is just one guy, he's not a demigod who can destroy the world all by himself. We would have to sit back and let him. If we do that, whatever happens is our own fault.

Really, this outcome may be the best thing that could have happened. It's forcing us to look at ourselves very closely to figure out how we got here. It's a huge wakeup call that would not have occurred if we'd voted in Clinton and continued to watch things go to hell in the usual, comfortable way. People may be put off enough by Trump's persona to finally get out there and fight the fight we needed to be fighting all along. Got my fingers crossed.

(P.S. That article by Greenwald is awesome.)
