until this...

Everytime I hear someone say this is not who we are, I am like, the hell it is. It is exactly who we are. Otherwise, trump would have never ascended to power.

Can you really logically think that the 74,000,000 who voted for trump -- 22% of We the People -- really represent the other 268,034,432 -- 78% -- Americans who didn't?

What we 78% have suffered at the hands of the 22% base is not who we are. So count me out.
