Trump did not win an “overwhelming victory”. His margin in Tillamook County was 49.03% to 47.69%. His margin in the nation was 50.01% to 48.24%. He lost in Oregon 55.2% to 41.05%.
We are left with a nation deeply divided.
Going forward, we should work through our differences with civility and tolerance.
Painting people who voted differently than did in inflammatory terms will do nothing to bring us together and solve our problems.
Big government can mean taking care of one another. Open borders can mean having enough employees to do the dangerous, dirty, and demeaning jobs we have trouble filling, child mutilation is a “scare word” for free choices, forced experimental shots never happened, and all our wars date from 2014 or earlier.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I think the ride we’re embarking on will be one we regret.
Thankfully, elections come around every 2 years. It may not be too late to reverse our course. Let’s temper our future choices with kindness and tolerance.
