This year has hit me right in the faith in humanity. It's hard to even pick which thing about it has upset me the most. And when I was writing this video, I just kept putting down more and more and more words...it was very hard to stay on one track. -yt

Additional comment from Hank:
"I still really don't know how to feel about this video. The sociology and psychology of elections is very complicated and I want to be clear that I believe that most people supporting Donald Trump are good people. However, I think that the way Trump has drummed up his support is deeply immoral. This election has given a voice to extreme views that are disconnected from reality. And while sometimes it seems like these lies have nothing to do with each other, there is one common theme...America is weak, it's losing, we should all be afraid, and there's only one man who can fix it...but only if everyone else will get out of the way.

That's dangerous for our country. It might even be dangerous for the entire concept of democracy. Sometime in my life, I hope that we swing back away from this and that we recognize that the race for the presidency is not a partisan battle to be won at all costs, but is instead an important but tiny step among all the other millions of steps we take every day to make the world a better place.

I want to see a reform movement where a Democrat and a Republican run against each other, but also together. Where they make appearances together. Where they admit that while supreme court appointments are important, a thoughtful competition and nuanced discussion is more important.

That probably can't happen from the top down. But maybe it can happen. Probably I'm being massively naive."
