Welcome to #First100Days!
The #First100Days series will “bear witness” to the next 13 weeks of the Trump administration and the climate in America and then respond openly in writing, dialogue, and debate in the hopes of fostering better communication among writers and partisans alike (although the essays and pieces do not have to be political in nature). We’re looking to help give voice to honest and thematic essays from all layers of the political spectrum and across all GMP sections.
All opinions are those of the author and not necessarily of Good Men Media, The Good Men Project, or our editors.
Snowflake.
Libtard.
“Trump that Bitch.”
Coastal elites.
In the months since the election we’ve read and researched all of the polling data, articles, and profiles of the election and talked with scores of conservative voters regarding why they wanted Trump.
But liberals and moderates have been hard pressed to get the same in return.
Why is that?
Where is the “Understanding the Hillary Voter” or “How can Liberals think that way” expose and articles?
Instead it’s been the opposite—liberals reaching out to understand the electoral college and why Americans—working class whites as well as college educated white men and women—chose what liberals—including many of the same in the demographic—feel is the worst President ever.
So what’s going on?
Is this the case of the “nerds” wondering why the bully is the bully (and the bully not caring) or a case of the bully getting beat and the nerds not caring to understand why the bully feels shame and embarrassment?
Or is it something completely different, like the brains, lifestyle, and hard-held beliefs of voters?
