One year ago tonight Hillary Clinton won the vote of the American people who supported her and her agenda. Unfortunately ,as we all know Trump is now President of our country. Let’s be clear; Donald Trump was selected by the biased Electoral College, and Hillary Clinton was elected by the American people!
Let’s look at the facts:
Hillary Clinton won 48.2% of the vote, compared to Trumps 46.1%, Yep! only 46% of the American people voted for Trump and his vision, not even near a majority!
This means in raw numbers that Hillary beat Trump by 2.9 million votes!
Why is this important now ?
The reason this is important is for three reasons:
1. Trump and the Republicans claim a mandate and the support of Americans in their quest to destroy the government, repeal numerous laws, roll back regulations and protections for our environment and civil rights. Most importantly, the ACA or ObamaCare is under daily assault! There is no such support and mandate by the American people! The Republicans, conservative media and even mainstream media constantly use the excuse that Americans voted for him and there is a mandate! This is simply a lie and not true!
2. It is also important for those, like myself and millions of other Americans that are hurt, saddened, depressed and fearful each day we wake up and read or watch the news, dread what Trump has done or said as he cheapens, destroys and demeans both the United States and the office of the Presidency.
3. Finally, as the news rolls out daily, the Russian government illegally and secretly poured money, skill and talent into social media, voter suppression, and false advertising. In fact, it seems that the Russian government has at least tried and maybe succeeded in attacking our voting systems in several targeted states. This fact swayed thousands maybe even millions in voting!
So, next time you hear someone say Trump won, or that he was voted iin by the majority of Americans, or has a mandate, tell them the truth: Hillary won the votes of the American people period!
We Must continue to Resist this illegitimate President!
