Dear Trump Supporters,
He’s coming for you. You are next.
You are not safe if your neighbours, teachers, friends, colleagues aren’t safe. You are not safe if everyone is not safe.
Right now he is going after Muslims. You might be okay with that.
He will go after immigrants and refugees. You might be okay with that.
He will go after Native Americans. You might be okay with that.
He will go after African Americans. You might be okay with that.
He will go after women. You might be okay with that.
He will go after LGBTQ+ community. You might be okay with that.
He will go after all these people and more. You might be okay with that.
But then he will go after you. You won’t be okay with that.
He may come for your job and income, you health insurance, your human rights, your everything and anything. He will come for you. If you think you are safe because you support him and you don’t* identify with any of the groups I’ve mentioned earlier, you are severely mistaken. If you think you are safe because you support him as a white American republican with Christian values in the upper class, you are severely mistaken.
You are not safe just because you voted for him. He doesn’t know that and frankly, even if he did it wouldn’t matter because you don’t matter to him. The only person that matters to him is himself. The only person that isn’t on his target list is himself.
He will come for you. You need to stand up for those being targeted right now. If not for them, then for yourself because you are next. If you don’t stand up for others now, there will be no one to stand up when you are the target. And let me warn you, nobody will be there not because they didn’t want to be but because they couldn’t, because they’ve been stripped of their rights and freedom to do so by the very person you supported.
Your privilege is not a safeguard from him. Your privilege is time, a delay before he turns to you. And with that privilege, you can make sure you and everyone else become and stay safe.
He will come for you. Stand up now.
Sincerely,
A Letter Per Person
*And let me clarify, even if you support him and identify with these groups you are not safe from his selfish abuse of power:
If you think because you support him as a Muslim you and your loved ones will be able to come and go as you please into/out of America, you are severely mistaken.
If you think because you support him as an immigrant and/or refugee you will have priority in beginning a new life in America, you are severely mistaken.
If you think because you support him as an African American you are safe from hate crimes and racism, you are severely mistaken.
If you think because you support him as a woman you will have total control of your body and have access to legal and safe abortion, you are severely mistaken.
If you think because you support him as a member of the LGBTQ+ community you can legally marry whoever you desire, you are severely mistaken.
Nobody is safe in “his America”.
