Trump's election != racist america. I voted Johnson because i couldn't stomach voting for trump and there was no way i was going to vote for Hillary. The Dems could have run literally ANYONE other then her and they would have had an easy win.

Same goes for the Rep's they could have run anyone (well maybe not cruz) other than Trump and had an easy win against Hillary.

Anecdotally i know many people that voted for Trump and not one of them was happy about doing it.

This election the majority of voters on both sides voted against the other candidate verse for their candidate.

But they still did it. They still voted for an outspoken racist and sexist. They voted for a man who wants to register every Muslim in a database. What does that say about them?

But the NSA already registered every Americans in a database. It would be racist to exclude Muslims from it. We must be inclusive in our surveillance of U.S. citizens.

Accusation without evidence. Not an argument.
