What is the right way to think about Trump voters?

16. Right or wrong - it's personal to me.

I understand that everyone is affected, and I'm not trying to discount anyone's feelings. I'm only speaking of myself, the individual, here.

I feel that it was such a personal thing that people that I've known for decades just don't "get" what a monster Donald Trump is. In many ways, this has been a period of understanding for me as to several friendships, what those friendships mean, and where those friendships are going. This has caused me to reflect a great deal on who *I* am and what *I* stand for.

I don't want Trump voters to die an agonizing death. That's not my purpose. But I do want some type of responsibility and accountability from them for their votes. It's NOT okay to perpetuate fake news which many of them did. It's NOT okay to allow yourself to me misinformed, ill-informed, or uninformed. It's NOT okay to vote for someone all the while refusing to see that which he clearly is - a racist, a sexist and a bigot. On top of that, Trump is a bully.

I cannot feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the rest of us who will be affected negatively by their bad choice.
