I'm not very smart when it comes to politics, all my friends and people I talk to irl, all the comments I read and a lot of the stuff I hear on the radio have all been the same though. I know the pool of information I get from a few hundred of people when ten of millions voted and have their own reasons of voting is very small, but I primarily hear things relating to the same old SJW stuff that has been all over the internet. A lot of people I know irl voted for Trump mainly because they felt Hillary and the idea of voting for her enforced the idea that they're basically scumbags unless they vote for her, and while I'm sure many many many people voted for reasons completely unrelated to things like fear of the crippling political correctness we have in society today it seems to have been a huge influence for just about anyone I know, on both sides. It just really seems that very few people SERIOUSLY cared about the nitty-gritty of what they were campaigning for, and were just using Trump and Hillary as a means of spiting the other group of people.
I didn't vote because I don't feel I'm smart enough in politics to realistically point who I believe should run the US, and I know my sphere of people I talk to is small in comparison to the millions that actually did vote...but I can't help but feel all of the accusations or racism, sexism, blahblahblahism have been a huge influence in actually helping Trump get elected, and that they just voted for Trump as a means of standing up against it without actually caring about what he wants to do(and that is not to say the same didn't happen with Hillary). Having someone sell me the idea that I'm a horrible person and that some kind of revival of the K.K.K is going to happen and that I have life easier than everyone else because my skin is a certain color, and that I am a pseudo-rapist or something else because I do not completely believe in the things I am being told is a hard drink to swallow and it wouldn't really surprise me if a huge part of that helped Trump get elected....then again, I am very bad at politics so I'm sure there is a bigger picture here.
