    The majority of us did not vote for this. And we’re trapped. We can’t riot like the French do; we’ll lose our jobs and our healthcare and our houses.

    This has been long in the making.

      The vast majority either did vote for this, or couldn’t be bothered to vote against it.

      The French did not have healthcare back when they had their revolution 😉

      Hmm. A majority of voters voted for this. If you didn’t vote you don’t count.

      I get that a third of the population voted against a Trump presidency, and you do have my sympathy, I just think its important to acknowledge the extent of the problem.

        Voter suppression is widespread. I didn’t vote. I would have liked to, but I live 3k miles from the nearest polling center and my absentee ballot came a week after the election. I know people who can’t vote because of DUIs (not defending DUIs, but they aren’t a valid reason to silence someone imo). Even among people with the right to vote, if you have to wait three hours in line with no access to food, water, or shade, that can be difficult to impossible depending on your health condition and employment circumstances.
