It's up to you: how will you mitigate the fear and distrust among President Trump's supporters (see details)

Asked by SaganRitual (2072points) June 15th, 2019

President Trump sets the example for his voters: he shows contempt to those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will, often vilifying them at the same time. He encourages his voters to see themselves as victims of “the left”, looked down upon from lofty towers paid for with their own taxes, snubbed in favor of lazy welfare recipients and rapist Mexicans with iPhones. Et cetera.

These people (the president’s supporters) are pissed and distrustful, and they’re not going to recover when President Trump leaves office. They’ll stay pissed and distrustful, and every election will be a farce, driven strictly by fear and anger—that’s not democracy.

It’s imperative that we find some way to heal these deep wounds, to bring trust and respect back into the conversation. We’re totally stuck in the…hmm…swamp…until our injuries heal. So, how are you going to MAWA—Make America Whole Again? What’s your plan?

(If you have nothing but doom and gloom to say, at least make it entertaining. An extended haiku, or a limerick, or something.)
