America Great again!

[Aroura]

I knew what you meant CL.  Emotions are just running high.

Thanks love. I'm sorry your candidate didn't win. I know how much you were rooting for her.

Thanks CL. But just so you understand, I'm not bummed my candidate didn't win. I'm not bummed my party is out. I only registered Dem again to vote Bernie in the primary.

I'm devastated on behalf of our country, all the poor from the heartland to the inner cities, who are about to lose all social safety nets. I'm distraught on behalf of lgbt folks who are about to be shoved and locked back in their closets. I'm outraged on behalf of all the woman who's healthcare will now be in the hands of their employers and politicians, instead of their doctors and themselves.I'm heartsick for the millions of species of animals that will go extinct as unregulated corporations spew ever greater amounts of garbage into their habitats and bodies. I'm frightened for the world we are leaving to our children. Not just America, but all of it.

I wasn't rooting for Hillary so much as I was rooting for the hope of the future. Yes, I'm nieve and misguided I'm sure Rhythm will drop in to point out, but there it is.

Trump isn't Hitler. I doubt he'll start WW3. But the damage he and Pence can actually do to individuals, our nation, other countries and yes the whole planet, is a very real concern.

We can talk again in 30 years when potable water is fought over, and the Great Barrier reef is a dead memory and we can no longer eat fish from the ocean. The science deniers that just got power could be worse than war though.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
