Remember this, just because someone didn’t go to or graduate from college doesn’t make them MAGA. Trump the man child resonating with uneducated Americans is not about stupidity. Stupid and uneducated are not the same.
Uneducated people have a moral compass, care about people who are different than themselves, care about immigrants, equality, LGBTQ+ individuals and the environment. Trump used threats and fear to rally support. College educated people are better prepared at responding to threats and a fear-based person attempting to lead and that’s a big reason why we didn’t vote for Trump.
Calling people stupid doesn’t win them over, it doesn’t encourage them to think for themselves. When a person is called stupid over and over again, they respond to threats and fear in unhealthy ways when undereducated Americans voted for Trump.
The way forward is to not insult Americans and to not call Americans stupid. The way to vote better leaders into office is by encouraging Americans to be better people and think for themselves.
We are stuck with Trump for another year. If we impeach Trump next year we need all the support we can get, that includes treating MAGA with emotional support and encouragement to impeach.
Calling people stupid and saying MAGA is a cult doesn’t support their ability to make a resounding vote by Americans to impeach. Forgiving the vote for Trump is the way to encourage MAGA to vote and elect better officials.
The majority of American voters responding to Trump had to do with preexisting problems in American entertainment. What Americans consider entertainment apposed to what Americans consider cruelty is a big problem. Calling people dumb and stupid is not entertaining; it perpetuates fear and is threatening.
Encourage undereducated Americans to impeach Trump by being kind. Lead with compassion and with care towards Americans regardless of who they voted for.
Stand up for yourself and others. Speak out against tyranny and authoritarianism. Speak up for immigrants and the environment and against Trump. I believe it would be difficult to forgive Trump for deporting a law-abiding American immigrant member of your family. There is a lot of hate and rage about Trump for doing this.
Center the hate and rage in your core and melt it into compassion. Fight hate with kindness, This is how we will overcome.
Kill Em With kindness
