I feel compelled to write to the people of North Dakota.
In the beginning, when Donald Trump began running in the Republican primaries, I kept saying to my friends and family that I had faith that the vast majority of Americans were good and kind people who would prevent such a man from becoming president of the United States.
As time passed that faith was tested. And today, I have lost faith.
You have voted for hate. I do not know you, America. You are clearly not who I thought you were.
You are not the country you have pretended to be.

I hope that someday you find your way back and can once again live up to the words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. I hope one day you restore my faith.
