I have moved past being pissed at people who voted for Trump and living in a country that is now even less of what I want it to be. Mainly because even if it was a little more like I wanted it to be it would be a hell of a long way off.
I am not even spending energy being mad at racists, though I am sure only a small percentage of people who voted at all are really white supremacists even though in this case they sided with the few who are. The people who voted for Trump wanted things to change, and so do I. The people who voted for Obama wanted things to change, and so do I. Obama couldn't bring the change he wanted to, and neither will Trump, though I know Obama tried and I am sure Trump will too. I am really sad and upset about what our economic and social systems do to us, and so are you. People are upset about what is happening to them and how it affects them more than they are upset about anything else. People are hurt and hurt people do crazy things.
I am well past being upset about it and well into doing something about it. The people who voted for Trump, the people who voted for Hillary, and especially the people who didn't vote at all, we all need to work together if things are going to change. It is going to take a lot more than voting, we didn't vote for poverty and wealth inequality, but it is here anyway, and it is hurting us all, even the wealthy. The stuff we are going to do to fix these problems are not going to be on a ballot, it is more complicated than that.
The things I am working on will invite us to work together, but you will not do that because it is a good idea, you will do it because it works better and you can see that happening. I was upset about a lot of things that happened while Obama was president, and I am going to be unhappy about a lot of things that will happen while Trump is president. We can change many things in spite of the government, some of those will be harder now, and some will be easier. What we really need to do is the stuff we can, and being upset about the stuff we can't is really important, but only so it can push us to get busy with the stuff we can.
What is really awesome is that the world is changing in real ways, and not because anybody voted to make it happen, but because people got out and did stuff. What we can change now because of these changes is absolutely everything. We are all one people, and one race, we are the human race, and when we all get better, we all get better. Nobody has to lose for us to all win, every time anybody loses we all do, we all need to come along for the ride.
