To every progressive/democrat in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan who did not vote, or voted third party, or wrote in a name, or left the top of the ticket blank, or voted for Trump to ‘burn it all down,’ I hold you responsible for trump’s electoral win and the havoc he will wreak on this country over the next four years.
Yes, I’m talking to you.
Donald Trump owes his Electoral College to three states he won by the smallest number of votes: just over 100,000 votes spread across Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Trump won:
- Pennsylvania by 1.1 percentage points (68,236 votes)
- Wisconsin by 0.9 points (27,257 votes)
- Michigan by 0.2 points (11,837 votes).
If Clinton had won all three states, she would have won the electoral college --278 to 260.
Thanks to you who ridiculed Hillary supporters when we urged you to consider the risks of a trump win, all of us will now suffer:
End of Medicare & Medicaid
Quote:
Shredding The Healthcare Safety Net -- Donald Trump and Republican leaders in Congress have made clear they are serious about repealing Obamacare, and doing so quickly. But don’t assume their dismantling of government health insurance programs will stop there.
For about two decades now, Republicans have been talking about radically changing the government’s two largest health insurance programs, Medicaid and Medicare.

Threat to Roe V. Wade
In his interview with Leslie Stahl, Trump said: “I’m pro-life. The judges will be pro-life.”

Surge in HATE CRIMES and HATE SPEECH Post-Election
Quote:
Fears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump's presidential win. And the list of incidents keeps growing.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has counted more than 300 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the US since Election Day.
"They've been everywhere -- in schools, in places of business like Walmart, on the street," SPLC President Richard Cohen said Monday.

Disaster For Our Environment
Trump has chosen Myron Bell to lead the transition at the EPA. A climate change denier, he’s spent decades pushing lies about the “myths of global warming,” defending fossil fuels and shutting down any climate policy. And he takes pride in being called a ‘climate criminal.’

Threat of War and Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
Quote:
In North Korea, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, escalating crises await the new commander in chief.

Not to mention pro-Rudy Giuliani becoming SOS.
A Threat To Freedom of the Press
Quote:
Trump’s lack of adherence to the time-honored media rules of the road shouldn’t have been surprising. The Freedom of the Press Foundation recently called him “an enemy of press freedom unlike any we have seen in modern presidential history.”

And the list grows with every announcement of another maniac chosen for his cabinet and as his advisors — like Steve ALT-RIGHT Bannon.
This is on you Hillary-hating progressives – you’ve set us back 50 years. You’ve set your own policies back 50 years. Meditate on that irony as you gloat over Hillary’s loss.
Yes, it was a binary choice. And you chose not to help to protect the rest of us from trump.
And to anyone who offers the fairytale that Sanders would have won all those rural white working class votes, my preemptive response is: “You’re lying to yourself.”
