Quotes from 23 Trump-voting Washington Post readers

[y4m]

Interesting mix of anti-Hillary, run the country like a business, give elites and the media their comeuppance, and end the PC culture.

My thoughts on some of those people and their quotes:

Well, K. Johnson is screwed if she was hoping for a non-corrupt gov't, as we're already seeing. Plus I seriously still do not understand the argument for the economy - can anyone explain why people thought he'd be good for them?

Nicole is just a racist.

Erin, also a racist who put what she thought in front of the wellbeing of others. Why should gov't be run like a corporation anyway? And why like Trump's horrifying corporations? Racist.

Deniz - Islamophobe, but I can understand his vote almost a bit more than anyone else's.

Lori Meyer clearly didn't even look at the news and, when did that mean someone was good for Presidency, that the media didn't support them? Hello!

Debra, didn't feel heard and doesn't like kindness.

Oh, George - you are so wrong. You clearly read nothing about Trump's business practices. Or about Trump.

Mackenzie voted from her white privilege so hard it almost hurts.

James is a true believer who actually doesn't realise that Trump is Satan.

Jim & Laura also came from white privilege. They thinks that what Trump says isn't what he will do. I bet they feels like an assholes now that they are seeing that he's doing everything he can to screw the people they assumed he wouldn't screw (POC, LGBT, etc).

Daniel is a rebel. A stupid one, but thinks he's doing the right thing by screwing up the country.

I feel like Samantha doesn't like herself. I have never heard a gay woman be against being "PC" - why is being kind a bad thing? Did you not hear what he had to say about YOU?

Hahahaha, Ron. Trump as transparent.

Shoanna can suck it. She wants to stick it to the Democrats and by doing so will screw herself and others. Good work, Shoanna.

At this point I just want to hulksmash everything.

The general consensus from those I know IRL who voted for Trump is that they are horrified by the Bannon appointment. I simply replied, "What the fuck did you expect?"

It's like everyone was so excited to stick it to the (wo)man, they forgot that Trump had a white nationalist at the top of his campaign. OF COURSE HE WAS GOING TO GET A POSITION

And what are they doing about it? Are they sending Trump letters saying I voted for you and this is not what I want? Are they gathering like minded to protest? Are they speaking out?

I'm not sure. I let them know I had already called my state rep and our senators to let them know I did not approve. I will follow up today.

Update: I texted the info for our rep and senators to her. I also gave her a script of what to say when she called. She replied "Thanks."
I'll check with her Friday to see if she called.
