I realize that not everyone who voted for Trump has shaved their head, gotten swastika tattoos, hung out at Stormfront, etc.

Many may be affable types who are fine to have beer with.

But, the world (to whom you were writing) isn't going to meet these individuals anyway.

The only thing that matters to anyone looking at the US from somewhere else is whether we're going to harm them or not.

Every Trump voter has set everyone in the world (including us here in the US) at much greater risk of harm, deprivation, and suffering in general.

Every one of them has increased the likelihood that fascists will rule the globe.

That is really the only thing that matters to the rest of the world.
