To all the white male professional political pundits who show day after day that their view of America is dominated by the white, male face they see in the mirror every morning:
Donald Trump is a misogynist who brags about how he has sexually assaulted women ‘because he can’. Women know what he is about. We have met versions of him again and again in our lives. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Donald Trump is a man who thinks women exist for his own pleasure. He diminishes our value down to whether or not he would f*ck us. He never considers whether or not we would want to f*ck him. Women know what he is about. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Mike Pence is a leader of the Christian Right Tealiban. In Indiana, he repeatedly crusaded to do away with women’s reproductive choices and to punish reproductive heart breaks. When he says in speeches and debates that he plans to take our rights away and send us back to the 1950s, we hear him. We know who he is and we vote. #ExpectUs.
Donald Trump is a racist white supremacist. He is the icon of the white nationalist movement. We see them. We see him. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Donald Trump spent years trying to delegitamize our nation’s first black President. We have not forgiven him for that. We will never forgive him for that. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence have said that the solution to racism in America is to subject black people to even more aggressive over-policing. We hear them. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Donald Trump repeatedly insists that Latinos and Hispanics are drug dealing, raping murderers. A cornerstone of his campaign is the cruel destruction of millions and millions of lives. We hear him. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Donald Trump has painted a target on all Muslims living in this country. He has said that he will torture Muslims just because he can. He has insisted that a religious test be a requirement for entering into or living in this country. He has said that Muslims should be forced to register for tracking by our government. He has declared an intent to hunt down and murder women and children around the world. We are sickened by him. We vote. #ExpectUs.
Mike Pence is a bigot who championed and signed legislation that made it legal to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community. We believe in the dignity of all. We believe that love is love. We vote. #ExpectUs.
We are women. We are African American. We are Latino. We are LGBT. We are the disabled. We are Christian. We are Jewish. We are Muslim.
We are Americans.
We believe we are stronger together.
We vote.
#ExpectUs.
