Fact: Less than 20% of the American people actually cast a vote for Trump.
Alternative fact: Trump represents the American people. #altFact
Truth: People are standing up to oppose him at unprecedented levels.
Alternative truth: Get over it. He was elected, so give him a chance. #altTruth
Reality: The people of this country are divided around many issues, and always have been, which is good generally when healthy debate can be had, and people can find common ground to work together on issues that are important to all.
Alternative reality: Memes, internet trolls and name calling will make it all better. #altMeme
Reality: We all live in our own bubble. It’s called life. We have all lived a different one. Our perspective is shaped by experience and interactions and the pursuit of knowledge, among many other things. Give the person next to you a chance first, before making sweeping generalizations.
Alternative reality: I’m right, you’re wrong. I’m smart, you’re dumb. #altReality
Disclosure: I did not vote for Trump. I did not agree with his policies before the election, and more so now. I will stand up against things that I believe are fundamentally wrong and things that I believe will hurt me, my fellow Americans, and those that immigrated to America, which is all of us – just at different times (yes, even Native Americans immigrated here – a long, long time ago). It does not mean I am automatically at odds with people that voted for Trump. I know many that are good people.
Alternative disclosure: I like kittens more than puppies. #altPets
