In short, the election has made me lose faith in my country. It's very sad. Before this election, I didn't realize how scared and angry Americans really are. I've also seen social media facilitate misinformation and my generation (millennials) is just eating it up. At the beginning of this election I was hopeful that the entire country could find some common ground but somehow, it morphed into a circus of monstrous proportions. When Trump entered the race I honestly thought it was a joke/publicity stunt. I don't know any Hillary supporters and I don't know any Trump supporters. There's a small part of me that feels like the whole thing is rigged because neither one of them have a good history. I firmly believe that Trump made it so far in the race because the average american is tired of being pushed around. The quest for diversity and equality we have sent the message that discrimination is OK, as long as it's against white Christians. ALL lives matter.
Nope. This is just politics as usual, magnified by the age of information.
I now think there has been a major decline in history, faith, education, honesty, and class. And I do not have a good outlook for the future. This election is the most important if you want to keep an American culture. We could just become another country in the world. Not the superpower and free society that most of the world has looked up to in the past...
Yes. Watching so many Republican voters declaring their support for Trump has destroyed my faith in the fundamental principles of the Republican party. Authoritarianism is the dominant political philosophy now, left-wing and right-wing; and, apparently, integrity is worthless in politics.
No. It's a fragile operation, this republic...
