Here's an alternative way to think about "desperation" (not saying this is necessarily the right way).
We have a lot of people in this country who are struggling financially. Their choice of geographic location, education, and skills (things they choose) aren't lining up with the 2016 economy (which they didn't choose). They voted Republican.
We also have a lot of people who are struggling socially and financially. They were born Mexican, Muslim, or homosexual (things they are) and are scared because other people want to deport them, jail them, or kick them out of the military. They voted Democrat.
Now, the Democrats offered to work with the Republicans to give them more choices and options. The Republicans said, "No way. We're staying put and rolling the dice with your civil rights."
Is it fair that a lot of people might feel like their freedom got sold out this week?

They only need to be scared if they are Mexican and here illegally.
Everyone else is being needlessly scared by the media and DNC.
