I'm voting to evict a man from the White House who doesn't even try to conceal his disdain for so many of us ordinary Americans... and worse, someone who makes an effort to be divisive in dealing with our diversity. It seems like a long, long time since an American president addressed us as a nation of equals in either formal speeches or off the cuff public remarks.
When the Trump administration is gone, we can maybe get back to complicated discussions of what we may "deserve" as a country among other countries on the planet. Might take those other countries awhile to come around to thinking we deserve even a seat once more at assorted tables for discussion of regional or global concerns. After all, under Trump our M.O. has often been to just take a hike.
Meanwhile what we deserve under the Constitution is a chance to have each of our votes land in a ballot box and get counted honestly in November.
(Scroll back through YouTube clips and try to find one where any former American president has been so boorish as Trump in addressing anyone with whom he's not in agreement. You'll find plenty of blunt speech that manages to stay in the realm of civility, but that's not in Trump's skill set much less his to-do list.)
