"When I woke up to his win on the Wednesday morning of November 6th, I felt physically ill. He had demonized my child, used her as a pawn in his divide and conquer strategy, and it had worked."
You are not crazy- and thank you for reminding me that I am not crazy. I have always been one to read about and understand our country's faults. But there were two things that I thought were so cool about the US. One was that even the president was not above the law- the first president I have memory of is Ford and my parents talking about why he became president. The second was related to what one of the Soviet leaders said about the US during the 4th of July- something to the effect that in the US we don't need to force our people to celebrate the country. Now with Trump evading the law and the ring kissers groveling at his feet, I no longer recognize my country. This, and all the hate that goes along with it breaks my heart. Yet, I remind myself that I have a picture of my daughters from 10 years ago protesting on Congress Street in support of gay marriage. Such a short time ago. This election is such a step back but we will move forward and the LGBTQ's fight will go forward, and it will bring all of us more freedom.
You're definitely not crazy. The crazies have taken over, are gloating, and think there's something specific that asshole wants them to do. Like SS soldiers or something. We must watch our backs at all times. It's scary out there.

Sigh. I don't recognize it anymore either. :(

No kidding. Ugh. (silent screaming)
