Americans broke their government. They have permitted their elected representatives to undermine their Constitutional rights and freedoms. How and why did this happen?
For one reason, a large percentage of the voting population are ignorant and incompetent. Hillary Clinton called them as deplorable, and she should not have apologized for that. Deplorable are citizens who embrace bigotry and intolerance as their creed. Deplorable are citizens who limit their educational abilities to that of a 10th grader on the average. Deplorable are citizens who have more children than they can support economically and with parental responsibility.
Shaming by name-calling doesn’t work. Unfortunately, the people that they have elected to represent them are an elitist class who will deny them equal opportunities to essential education. Their capacity and ability to advance in the workforce will diminish.
Republicans promise greater job opportunity and more upward mobility, and yet their policies and leadership don’t support the stated outcome. Critics of the anti-Trumps complain that the opposition hasn’t given them a chance. The reply to that is that Trump will get equal to or less support than Republicans gave to Obama and the Democrats. Trump is unfit and doesn’t deserve any better.
Anti-Trump critics complain that the media isn’t giving Trump a fair hearing. Wrong. The media has heard and witnessed enough.
The answer to the headline question is that the majority of American citizens didn’t vote for Trump. However, they did vote for Republicans at the local and state levels of government. For that, they will pay dearly. The fact is that America may not recover from voter mistakes that may have caused irreparable damage. There are consequences to citizen mistakes, and we will all pay for them.
