Please...

Please, fellow liberals, less of the illiberality.

Try to understand why people who aren't liberals have voted the way they did. No-one is without reasons. No-one has a monopoly on virtue.

And please stop accusing Trump voters of racism and misogyny. It may be true of some. But not all by any means. Don't demonise your opponent. It just deepens the division.

Understand that this election was between two of the least popular candidates ever. There were good reasons for not supporting Hillary. Very good reasons.  Many will have voted for Trump as the lesser of two evils.

And try to rein in the fear and hysteria. Fear is disabling. You're only hurting yourselves.

Women have made it to the top job in many countries now. Angela Merkel is the single most powerful person in Europe. Here, in Britain, we're already on our second female Prime Minister. I don't see why a woman shouldn't become President of the USA too. All it will take is a candidate that the electorate can respect and like. Hillary just wasn't that woman.
