“But there are many millions of people who did not vote for Donald Trump because of the bigotry and hate that fueled his campaign rallies. They voted for him despite the hate. They voted for him out of frustration and anger — and also out of hope that he would bring change.” – Senator Elizabeth Warren
Thoughts: I may not agree with the individuals that voted for Trump out of frustration despite his hate rhetoric but I do understand. With this, I want to start a dialogue with those individuals that don’t like Trump but still voted for him. That don’t believe his rhetoric for a second but still voted for him. That are just sick and tired of the system as of late when they voted for him.
Read Senator Elizabeth Warren’s entire Medium post here.
Whatever the reason may have been, voting for him can never be justified.
Only time will tell, and lets hope its not as bad as we think it is.
Which is why I appreciated Senator Warren’s quote. There’s a bigger issue at play that people forwent his rhetoric for this “promises”. Only time will tell indeed…
It’s been proved time and time again throughout history that when people feel they have no voice they turn to extreme politicians. We also know from history how that tends to turn out……..
And that’s exactly what’s scaring me.
I truly hope he doesn’t abuse his power. Only time will tell indeed.
I don’t have high hopes but will be watching him like a hawk!
We all are 🙈
A day before the US elections, India demonetised it’s 500& 1000 currency thus putting a greater part of its large population in turmoil and insecurity. It was a decision headed by the current head of India who has a simliar shady past especially some one under whom communal violence happened. One thing I was thinking then if this could happen in India, if he could be elected with so many votes, if Brexit could happen in Britian, then I really did fear Trump too getting elected.
I have been upset ever since I heard it. I know of people who changed their study plans of coming to US.
I just hope things aren’t as bad as we think now!
I swear it’s the sign of the times. And you’re right, it’s not just in India or in America, it’s slowly happening everywhere. God help us…
The first thing that came to my mind on hearing of it was “When the power or authority comes to the hands of unfit persons then wait for the final hour”
Not that this is the first time this sign is manifest but it wasn’t so blatantly clear to the whole world like now. Allah’s will… and in Him we put our trust.
We’ve seen more than enough signs, but people never learn from history. Ameen to that!
