6. And Minorities?
The final part of this trifecta are this country’s minorities. Trump has been attacked for spouting out racist comments multiple times. Naturally, there were and still are many concerns for minorities (especially given the need for the Black Lives Matter movement). This naturally motivated many of our people to instead vote for Hillary.
And honestly, who can blame those people? Yeah, Clinton has some questionable policies (as does Trump), but at least she wasn’t potentially hinting to a mistreatment of ethnic minorities. That said, there isn’t quite as much concern with this group of people as there are others. As a matter of fact, there were many minorities who actually voted for Trump despite their concerns.
This was simply because they disliked the way the government was currently run more than Trump’s comments and wanted a change to our nation’s leaders. That’s not to say that there isn’t still room to be a bit worried, though. While I doubt Trump would ever do anything to directly harm minorities, he could likely make other radical statements that could affect these various groups. When you offend your citizens, that’s when you have a dissonance between the president and the people.
