Why? Trump spent the last 18 months making scapegoats of Latinos and American voters just legitimized it. My own country just said that hating me is okay. What possible reason do I have to vote again?

Like I said, the country’s white majority pretty much just screamed “GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY” in a far more unified and terrifying voice as we could have ever imagined.

It’s them reminding us that we’re not really Americans, we’re not allowed to be Americans, and will never be truly at home here, because this is their country, never ours, never shared. They own us.
