Donald Trump's Supporters Are Valid

One person, one vote, one voice. People may peacefully assemble, they may peacefully organize, they may vote, they may speak. And so, Donald Trump's supporters are valid. They might or might not be correct, but then what's correct?

Free speech is not only when you are right. What's right? Who is to decide? Precisely because there is no way of telling who is right and who isn't, we fall upon the arithmetic of one person, one vote, one voice.

I think the message is there is economic anxiety. And that the Republican Party's time is up. And that the white identity has been a cultural confusion. Beyond lack of pigments, what is it really? Is it to hate others? What?

The Trump supporters have to be listened to. There is anxiety, but then I knew that. The arithmetic of politics, of democracy, is not just about counting heads. Or hands.
