Park did one really big terrible thing. Trump has done 100s of small bad things and we're fatigued. Unfortunately his worst offense… 1/?

…being egregiously unqualified for the office of president, is not technically illegal. Neither is being mean, nasty, and self-centered… 2/?

…everything we're seeing is a symptom of the larger disease of a small portion of the population voting for stupidity/hatred/greed 3/?

…simply because the thought of voting for a qualified woman who would speak for voices they found distasteful was too much to bear. 4/?

I've protested a lot and I've never seen it effect change, only bring issues to the forefront. If someone doesn't understand Trump is… 5/?

…terrible, protests aren't going to change their position. Trump won only because people never thought he would and didn't go to vote. 6/?

Structural changes—dismantling voter ID laws, fair redistricting, and shifting party in power in 2018—are what will make a difference. 7/7

Great thread. Thank you.

Perhaps u'd get Americans 2again turnout like this if u can first turn off our tv's. Then get us off the couch, & take away our phones.

Yea except thats specious as hell because all of the big protests we've had lately were organized online. So no.

We're all sitting at home on the couch waiting for somebody 2save us. We can only be saved by ourselves... & we can't do that fm the couch.

Look at voter turn out in France, Korea and other places where more progressive candidates won vs voter turn out in the US.

Indeed. They left their couches 2take action & hopefully make a difference.

Except America will put militarized cops and dogs on its people so that's a no

except you forget "America" ain't about that life. Yea Blk ppl r used to the struggle but who is trying to bear our cross? The whole 1/2

It's not about not being happy because he's a guy. It's about our efforts being dismissed.
