I am not ...
I am not white. Voting the way I do doesn't change that I'm Native, and the son of hundreds of generations of the People. Please stop saying that I voted the way I did because I'm "just another white guy".
I am not "hetero". I am a sadist. I don't care what tackle it has, as long as it whimpers, moans and cries. (Maybe bleeds, a little.)
I am not "bigoted". I'm not even sure what I'm supposedly bigoted about (nobody will answer my questions on that), but I'm pretty sure I'm too laid back and uninvolved to be bigoted.
I am not "imperialist". My people are still living in poverty. And proud of it, when the other choice is taking government handouts.
I am not a "rich capitalist pig". I'm a cop, and believe me - we're nowhere near rich. Most of us are just barely making it, supporting a family.
I am not a "cis-gendered" individual who is "privileged" because of it. I'm a person, who struggles with the effort to understand and accept other gendered people as often as I can. And to make peace with their blind dislike of me and my male identified life, and female identified wife.
I'm not a "racist". I don't particularly care what race you are. I work in law enforcement - I care about your behavior and your adherence (regardless of your opinion about it) to the law. Don't like a law? Great. Vote. Congregate. Express yourself (lawfully) to your elected representatives. You know...participate in government, instead of whining.
I'm not anti-feminist. I'm an equalitarian. (Who does, granted, laugh at Meninist posts). (And okay, I have been known to tell the occasional misogynist joke. Sue me. Good luck collecting damages - I'm a poor cop, and my wife is a poor therapist.)
I'm not all that "privileged' either. I come from one of the most poverty stricken peoples in the US, to the point where we're called the "invisible minority". My mother struggled as a female officer for 20 years in the Army (Happy Veteran's day, Mom) to pinch enough pennies for my sister and I to be the second and third in our tribe to graduate college. I send money back whenever I can to support my tribe, and do what I can to lift up the spirits of my peoples' nations as a whole. I'm working with a civil engineer, on my own dime, to design simple to build, reusable and environmentally responsible small housing for our tribe to build for our elders.
I'm not full of hate, or spouting hate words with every sentence. You think you get hate words? I get hate words that none of you even understand - and you don't get why they're offensive. I don't give a damn about the Redskins - but how about a little less complaining about how certain minorities don't have enough college funding, while my people have NONE. I wind up biting my tongue on a daily basis. And between the social justice warriors trying to pick fights on my behalf, and the "nice PC people" who regularly call me 'Chief', it's getting old.
I'm a human being. And if you really want to talk to me about how we can move forward together as Americans - then drop the rhetoric about how evil I am and how people like me are destroying the country.
That's how Trump won in the first place, folks. Because the left spent so much time demonizing and denigrating people they don't "like", that half the men in the US voted for Trump regardless of his evils - because he was unapologetically male.
Think about that for a while. We created a country where a man who is (by everyone's admission) a complete political newb with the potential to cause a lot of issues could become president - because we were too busy being divisive and denigrating our fellow citizens.
Middle class "racist bigoted" whites didn't get Trump elected.
We all did.

PS: Or, you know, keep on flaming me for being "white, bigoted, cis, privileged, etc.". Because that's going to make me enjoy listening to you.
