I meant I wasn't voting for Clinton's policies (I disagree with her stance on mass incarceration, war hawk-i-ness, and treatment of protestors, among many other issues) but rather was voting against Trump.
By "retiring from polite society," I meant no longer keeping my mouth shut about things I didn't agree with out of fear that it would be impolite to say something. I had resolved to make a stink whenever and wherever I felt morally called years before 2016, but that election meant any scrap of politeness over truth left was thrown out the window.
Thank you for this post.
Why would you not want Hillary to win?
What is polite society?
