Eh . I think people were responsible for Trump , not God . It depends on what you consider to be within God ' s purview I think humans have free will so they can choose freely who to vote for , while others might think God predetermines your path or something . The more important thing , I think , is using humancaused problems like Trump ' s victory for doing God ' s will . For example I believe this result can better mobilize social justice civil rights activists . I for one feel I understand how injustice remains systemic more clearly than I ever have before . Everyone who supported Trump voted for a racist , that is a fact , and I ' m sure this is happening everywhere throughout society , all by wellmeaning people who are yelling but I ' m not personally racist ! No but you voted one into power , and so your world is still going to be racist , and you are tolerating that . What I ' m trying to say is , I understand now that not being racist is simply not enough to fight racism . We need to denounce it everywhere we see it . I think so many white people in my generation just got hit with that truth , and I hope it can do us some good . And I hope a lot of men also got hit with the truth of how sexism remains systemic as well . In summary even if God is responsible for Trump which I don ' t necessarily believe , he could use that to bring about a more understanding future .
