Mark Morford- sfgate.com:
Dear Trump voter: Your new president despises yo Oh, he very much does. You are the same “loser” working-class invisibles he’s exploited and subjugated his entire business career. You are the same disposable cogs he’s mocked and derided since his racist dad gave him “a small loan” of $14 million (https://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-presidential-debate-fact-check/2016/09/clinton-is-right-about-trumps-very-small-14-million-loan-228709) and said go forth and molest the world.
The great irony of it all, Trump voter? It’s not even a secret: Your new president cares not a whit for your well-being, or mine, or anyone else’s. He’s in this for himself. And for revenge. And for the grotesque mockery of it all.
Here’s the catastrophic truth: In all those nasty debates, all those violent rallies, all those idiotic interviews on Fox News? Trump wasn’t really jabbing his stubby middle finger at the “status quo,” or the Washington elite. That was just for the cameras, for provocation, for the headlines. As evidenced by his insidious transition team (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/us/politics/lobbyists-trump.html) – already packed with disgraced lobbyists, gloating robber barons and hissing white supremacists – he plans nothing short of an all-out rape of the American Dream – with you, his own supporters, very much included.
See, Trump’s middle finger was actually aimed at everyone, regardless of race, status, political party, creed. He is anti-life, anti-love, anti-progress, anti-science, anti-choice (https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/People-donating-to-Planned-Parenthood-in-Mike-10615747.php), anti-environment, anti-reform and most certainly anti-working-class Trump-supporting nobody.
And of course, if you’re a woman, a POC, an immigrant, Muslim, Jew, LGBT or a member of just about any free-thinking belief system, well, it’s all roughly 1000 times worse for you, isn’t it? Hell, I’m an educated, liberal white male with just about every advantage in the American handbook, and even I’m concerned about my well-being and imminent authoritarian crackdowns on civil liberties in Trump’s new, violent, white supremacist-approved (https://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/11/15/harry_reid_blasts_trump_for_appointing_champion_of_white_supremacy.html) America. I cannot fathom the desolation and visceral horror tens of millions of my non-white, non-male fellow citizens are experiencing right now.
But you will find out very soon, Trump voter, what the rest of us already understand: You’re a drone to him. A faceless nothing. A pathetic joke. A dollar sign scribbled on a filthy napkin in the ruins of the Trump Taj Mahal. We all are. But he tricked you most of all (https://www.businessinsider.com/samantha-bee-donald-trump-president-election-white-people-2016-11?utm_source=hearst&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=allverticals). You were his reality TV show, his biggest and most successful con. And now we all pay.
