How can I ever look them in the eye again and tell them they can be anything they want when they grow up? How can I tell them that there's more good than evil in the world, when an evil like Trump wins? My girls are asleep right now. I don't want to wake them. They saw the things Trump said. And like any decent normal human being, they found them despicable. What am I supposed to tell them tomorrow morning? How did this man win? I just don't know how.
I had a hard time getting mine to sleep, since I had a little panic in front of her. I had to get a grip and tell her who was president didn't really matter. She cried herself to sleep.
Worst election ever. I don't even know what to do with myself. I'm usually very honest with my daughter. But tomorrow, I have to take a deep breath, burry my very real feeling of shock and horror, and tell her again that it doesn't matter. Then turn off teh news for the next 4 years, and move to the most democratic stronghold we can next year. Which we are doing. Seattle, thank you for existing. It's the best I can hope for.
My family and friends are all in shock. My poor old mom turned off the news because it was making her feel ill. She was in tears.
The human race, I knew deep down we were fucked up, that's why I'm in therapy. Proof positive. We will destroy ourselves and every fucking living thing on this planet in our narcissistic fear. I hope my daughter never has kids.
