American Electorate: Donald Trump and Holiday Season

american electorate: Amid the gift-giving and sampling of many seasonal treats, that's what I intend to do, according to Huffington Post Canada. The hard part, I think, will be to not focus too much on the truly frightening election of Donald Trump as U.S. president. As we gather with friends and family over this holiday season and look back at 2016, it is important to take a moment to think about the ways that we can build on the positive things we have seen and done, and to address the negative aspects of the past year. Trump exploited the worst fears and prejudices of the American electorate to win the White House, giving legitimacy to hate and misogyny through his own sexist, racist and anti-immigrant policies and statements. Let's be clear. It is tough to be optimistic about 2017 when one of the first major political events of the year will be that man's inauguration -- particularly when his victory seems to have emboldened Trump wannabes seeking to spread hate on this side of the border.
