Document Summary
60% white women voted for trump: divide in the country. Trump had more electoral votes: tremendous effort being made to normalize trump as president. Clinton, obama, among others saying to give trump a chance. It"s okay for the president to be a xenophobe, liar, etc. Part of the confusion around trump as presidency is civility. Consequences to how these things function (e. g. , access to nuclear codes) Every one is trying to normalize this. Donald trump is a winner and i"m sick of losing : difficulty sorting out people"s grievances, clinton was a weak component compared to trump, clinton didn"t try as hard; thought she had the votes. Clinton didn"t visit states that were historically considered democratic. Fbi letter probably didn"t make that much of a difference: trump captured a zeitgeist, a particular mood at a particular time. If the american economy fails, the canadian economy will fail.
