My sister, flabbergasted that she knew people who actually voted for Trump, implored them to share their reasoning in a "safe space." Reasons as follows:

-life begins at conception and Hillary Clinton should not be allowed to select Supreme Court justices

- My health insurance sucks and Trump will make it better

- America will be better when run as a business.

Not gonna lie- Trump's tax plan benefits me greatly. Not as greatly as it benefits, say, the Waltons but frickin' 15% top tax rate on pass-throughs? Dude. Cuts my taxes in half. And an elimination of more than half the deduction for offering benefits to employees? Great. Even more of an excuse to do the wrong thing.

I was willing to take the $400/mo hit on my health insurance so that 13 million people could have health insurance. But if they don't want it?

Fuck 'em.
