Queer folks and other minorities (including women!!) are hurting right now. You feel betrayed by your compatriots and that's completely understandable. What I'm about to say does not challenge the validity of your feelings.

Some Trump voters are racist and bigoted and that's why they like Trump. Statistics and exit polls show this statistic is lower than you'd expect with a 51% popular vote. For most Trump voters, they're voting for economic reasons. They have been lead astray by media and institutions they trusted. Their opinions have been manipulated. Their lack of understanding about economics and politics has been exploited. They don't really like the racism or bigotry but it's not a deal-breaker for them (in exactly the same way as literal genocide wasn't a deal-breaker for Harris voters).

A lot of Trump voters who don't understand Trump wasn't the reason the economy was better 4 years ago are about to get a rude shock. They're about to lose their healthcare. Their benefits. Their family and friends are about to be deported. Their daughters, wives and other family members who can get pregnant will be harrassed and perhaps even have their lives put at risk by abortion bans. They are about to discover what they really voted for.

IF YOU WANT CHANGE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, YOU MUST EMBRACE THEM AND WELCOME THEM INTO THE ANTI-TRUMP FOLD.

YOU MUST WELCOME THEM.

YOU CANNOT TURN YOUR NOSE UP AT THEM AND MAKE FUN OF THEM AND CALL THEM STUPID BIGOTS.

One of things often cited in focus groups that turns people off the democrats is the elitist snubbing of 'stupid people' or 'uneducated people'. Uneducated does not mean immoral and bad, it just means someone who's easier to manipulate and is therefore more likely to be a victim of a manipulative campaign.

Beating facism depends on people making alliances with other people who have wronged them in the past. It means teaming up with people who are 'problematic' or don't have perfect politics.

When people start realising what they voted for, hold your nose and comfort them, and accept their apologies if they give them. Validate their betrayal, and then talk about what happens next.

Building alliances is a stepping stone in defeating fascism.
