First, I am sorry for everything you've gone through, and I love your page. You are a martial arts grand master at articulating what we're all thinking.
Given that, and the fact that abuse seems to be so common, how do you think it has affected the U.S. politically? Do you think being a survivor affects people's political beliefs or how they vote at all?
Thank you for the compliment, I'm glad you like my blog.
This is a very complex question, and I'm not in the US, or into politics, so I can't answer it. I would assume people who were abused would be more likely to vote for a person who fights against abuse - but I doubt that we even get an option like that, most often people vote based on public opinion, their own interests and rights, popularity, etc.
It's possible also that some abused people are groomed and will vote for whoever the abuser votes because they're too enmeshed to be able to form a separate opinion.
Overall, I can't answer this question with any proper analysis, because for this, we'd need research and data. Everyone is influenced by something or someone when they vote, and abuse could be one of the influences, but how it affects it, can't be known unless there's a study connecting the two.
