If this fits anyone reading this; then you are the very kind of scum-bucket who has done damage to this country that will not be repaired for a generation or more and you are most decidedly NOT THE LEFT.
You knew he was the KKK kandidate.
You heard the tape of on the bus bragging about sexual assault against women.
You saw the misogyny.
You saw the racism.
You saw the bigotry.
You knew he was anti-climate, anti-environmental, anti-green.
You knew he was against the protection of public land.
You knew he promises to "lift restrictions on the production" of fracking shale, oil, natural gas, offshore drilling and coal.
You knew he was against the minimum wage, let alone raising it.
You knew he was against public education.
You knew he encouraged and reveled in violence.
You knew his stance on nuclear proliferation and his desire to actually USE nuclear weapons.
You knew he promises to start wars over rude hand gestures.

You KNEW will yank healthcare away from millions of vulnerable people.
You knew he would privatize everything he can get his hands on, particularly where he & friends will profit.
You knew he would use this office as a personal money press.
You KNEW he would install draconian ideologues onto the SCOTUS, impacting up to 4 decades of public life, hurting women, minorities and the most vulnerable among us.
You KNEW.
You knew.
You knew and yet still you allowed your hateful lunacy to rule you. You sold the helpless millions around you down the river for the sake of your vanity and spite. YOU are not the "left." You are the empty-headed, useful tools of the right.
We who voted to protect love, to protect health, to improve education, to raise wages, to work towards social and economic justice, to protect the Earth - WE are the left. If you refused to vote for HRC and see yourself in this post, you have proven yourselves otherwise, and on behalf of the country and the planet, we invite you to go perform anatomically impossible acts upon yourself without lubrication.
