Indictment of Americans’ Character

With the election of Donald Trump, Democratic politicians, pundits and talking heads seem obsessed with self condemnation. However, that obsession is misplaced. The results were not an indictment of Democratic policies, but an indictment of Americans’ character. Americans who ignored rationality and chose their pocketbooks over morality and ethics. They chose to ignore Trump’s known history of racism, fraudulent business practices, sexual molestation, malicious rhetoric, yen for dictators, election interference, tax evasion, and felonious indictments, thinking he would increase their economic well being, despite many economists predicting Trump’s economic policies would be disastrous for the country. I have only one thing to say to those who voted for Trump: “Bless us father, for we have sinned.”
