I just read this article about how's being going in the first day of
Trump's America. https://medium.com/@seanokane/day-1-in-trumps-america-9e4d58381001#.gq674vu6c
It is absolutely horrifying. Americans (and the whole world) will have
to face and suffer not only the hate that Trump and his voters promote but the
free path Trump's policies give to this hate. How is this possible? How is it
possible that people still support policies that are based on racism, sexism,
no tolerance, hate or inequality? Don’t people concern about History? And the
most serious thing, it’s not only in USA where all this is happening. We can
feel it also in Europe. We are supporting wars and letting people die. We are
kicking people off from our “rich” countries without wondering why they had to
come. We are not giving peace a chance, we are not letting money and culture
apart. We are still like humans where 100 years ago.
Why Trump won the Elections in USA? Basically it can be answered by two
words: fear and ignorance. Two words that have accompanied society since long
long time and that have permitted many of the horrors that humans have made to
each other over History.
Michael Moore gives a deeper analysis about why he won. It helps to
understand what is happening to our times. http://michaelmoore.com/trumpwillwin/
What can we do now is the next question. Well, I think we need to worry.
We do need to worry. But now, more than ever hope is necessary. We have to
accept this situation but we don’t want it to continue long time, so we also
need strength to overcome it and to defeat it as soon as possible. You may
think this is easy to say but we just have to keep believing in a change and
making it possible locally. Starting from teaching our kids that a world free
of racism, sexism and inequality is possible, and believing ourselves that we
are lots who think this way. Lots who know that hate only harms the ones who
feel it.
