https://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-washington-post-sunday/20161113/281784218671...The Washington Post asked ordinary folk why they voted for Donald Trump, the answers defy the stereotypes:
“I am a gay millennial woman and I voted for Trump because
I oppose the political correctness movement which has become a fascist ideology of silence and ignorance,” Samantha Styler, 21, of Arizona, wrote.
Deniz Dolun, 22, of Florida: “My entire family — five Muslim immigrants from Turkey —
voted for Trump because of the Democratic Party’s pandering to Islamism. As people who have actually experienced Islamism in its purest form... we supported the candidate who promised to help us fight that issue.”
Christopher Todd, 53, of Florida: “I voted for Trump on the calculated bet that he would nominate conservative Supreme Court justices. If people want to permit gay marriage or abortion for any reason, then make both legal through the legislature,
not via an unelected oligarchy rewriting the Constitution.”
Lori Myers, 51, of Texas, wrote: “I voted for Trump because
the media was so incredibly biased. They were unhinged in their obvious role as the Clinton campaign propaganda machine.”
