I speak directly to Americans of African descent who are considering voting for a candidate who thinks the only job they deserve is janitorial and low-paying jobs. Think again.
The concern many of these people have is "Can a woman run America?" If many of you reflect on who raised you, perhaps you have already answered your question. If you were raised by your grandma who instilled the fear of God in you, or your single mom who worked three jobs to put food on the table, then you know a woman can definitely run any organization.
The US is one of the Western countries that has not had a woman leader since its founding - the UK, Germany, Canada, and France have all had a form of female leader at some point in their history. The gender question was one of the reasons why Hilary Clinton lost the 2016 election. Some Americans just could not see a woman leading. You see the element of religion in this also - The Southern Baptist Convention does not appoint a female priest, and the Catholics do not as well. However, within the protestant movement, we have seen formidable women who have led flourishing congregations for decades. God appointed women as a prophet, poets, and judges (Deborah) in the Old Testament - before heaven, there is no gender.

When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.
