Problem Frame: Letter to Dissatisfied Young Voters

After Trump's upset on November 8, the people of the United States have been thrown into a state of chaos and unease.The public remains deeply divided given the nearly even split between voters during the race, and Democratic voters remain unsure about where to proceed moving forward. The widespread response from Hillary voters is that in response we should take action by being politically active and conducting peaceful protests while remaining nonviolent and neutral in rhetoric. However, such an approach does not dissuade fascists who only respond to displays of strength, and thus would not slow down the surge of neonazi fascism following Trump's election. In response, Democratic voters should not only keep up political activity but work on a local scale to create a strong communal front that is willing to suppress fascism through any means necessary, including physical violence. It is their duty as members of their communities to suppress fascism wherever it may rise, and do whatever they can to prevent Trump and his like-minded brethren from doing damage to those communities by any means necessary.
