With Trump’s win, fear and prejudice prevailed

Republican Donald Trump’s win over the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, makes me question what can lead a country to choose a candidate with criminal convictions who promotes racism, division, a lack of respect towards others, especially women, who dehumanizes immigrants, and who promised mass deportation and prosecuting his opponents.


I don’t know when it was that a leader’s character became secondary, where his shameful conduct, attacks on democracy, and flirtation with dictators no longer mattered, or that he no longer hid the fact that his only motivation is what benefits him, and his thirst for revenge against those he considers to be his enemies. Anything goes as long as you win, seems to be the reasoning. Or it’s that this selection reflects what this country and society are. That racism and misogyny were stronger; that fear and resentment prevailed.
