TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS:

For every woman who had a safe and legal abortion--including one in my own family--you voted to take those protections away from others.

For every person who kept their homes through President Obama's initiatives--including one in my own family--while the candidate you chose rooted for you to lose it, those initiatives may well be gone (Republicans vow to undo them)--you voted for the loss of the homes of your American neighbors.

For every person who has a gay friend or family member--you voted for the redaction of gay --indeed, civil, HUMAN rights.

For every person who thinks he or she would never vote for the eradication of rights, the loss of homes, the danger to others...you did. And, now you must own it. You must own the whole package.

Here is what you now own:

Swastikas on Jewish bakery windows and synagogues.

The little black girl who went to school and was told to go home because she is a nigger. You now own her, her pain, her fear, her damage.

The gay man whose face was broken open, left to bleed on the sidewalk. His blood is on your hands. You now own his wounds.

The women who will not be paid equally for equal work. You now own their worries, the discrimination against them.

You own a lot more, too. You are now in league with Russian corruption of our electoral process. You are now a pawn on Putin's chessboard. You own the degradation of our sacred space.


FEEL RICH YET?
