You all know the results of last week's election.
I... just CANNOT.
The despair, and hopelessness, and rage -- all the things that we had momentarily left behind -- are back in full force. Our only consolation is that it's unlikely he can change the Constitution in a way that would allow him another term beyond this one.
Even if he is 'just a figurehead' for the Republican Party -- even assuming, arguendo, that he will be somehow Harmless and that the Republican Party will be running things for the next four years, this is what we know:
It was NOT a dealbreaker to over HALF of American citizens, that the figurehead of the Republican Party is a racist, misogynistic, sexist, sexually-assaulting, convicted felon; anti-immigrant, anti-intellectual, anti-environment, isolationist; an individual who mocks disabled people, who repeats lies ("alternative facts") and misinformation and ridiculous nonsensical statements ("They're eating the dogs! They're eating the cats!"); who simulates fellatio on a microphone stand at a public event; and who is crass, vulgar, and insulting to anyone who does not immediately agree with him.
OK, then.
Trust no one.
