It doesn’t even matter if “the president has no real power” like….. An openly misogynistic, racist inexperienced bigot is president…. Think about what that means for people out here just as racist, just as misogynistic, they have nothing to hold them back.
The same thing happened with brexit. It was just an opinion poll but when it came to most people being for it, be it as a joke because they think they don’t matter or because they didn’t vote at all. After brexit, it validated thousands of racists and there was violence. His presence in the whitehouse will be used to validate hate and violence against POC, women and LGBT and non christians.
