Election

I expected the outcome of the election, yet I was still baffled when the results were released. I have no problems with people having their own political opinion, because that is the basis of a democracy. However, I am still shocked at just how many people would support a sexist, racist man. Regardless of people identifying as Republican due to economic policy beliefs or governmental involvement restrictions, people who voted for Trump must hold prejudice to a degree. Women have been fighting constantly to gain more rights and to be equal to men, yet now we have a president that CONSTANTLY and PUBLICLY says sexist remarks. Not only does he say the remarks, but he will also DEFEND his actions, furthering his innate sexism. Such a president will influence citizens into thinking treating women the way he does is acceptable, which could destroy the progress women have made thus far. Trump doesn't just comment about women; he also targets immigrants. Do people forget when he called Mexicans rapists and suggested we put Muslims into "camps" for national security? What about when he said, "laziness is a trait in blacks"? Such comments were somehow overlooked by American citizens, which is a horrifying discovery. What's next for America? He's pushed the envelope farther than I ever could have imagined, but the scary part is how many people agree. You are not welcome if you are not a white male (being rich helps, too).
