The results of last night's election are disappointing, angering, and horrifying. But they are not shocking. I've seen lots of talk about how stupid and racist and sexist the general American populace is to be able to vote the way the did. I don't think that is accurate. Of course, there is no doubt which candidate the racists and sexists voted for. However, in a society where we all feel forced to choose the lesser of two evils, I can't be surprised that many felt differently than me as to which candidate that actually was. The federal government has failed working people over and over for decades and continues to do so to this day. In this situation, when one party tells you everything is going great, actually, but the other tells you you are right to be upset and presents a simple solution, no matter how ill-informed or hateful it is, this is the natural result. The Democratic party will not learn this lesson, though, just like they didn't in 2016. We must take care of each other now, because no one will do it for us, especially not another establishment politician with a D next to their name.
