In an effort to stop pulling the covers over my head and pretending this isn’t really happening, I’m headed out right now to the Nashville women’s march. I’m looking to restore my own sense of hope, which was decimated on November 8.

Probably the same interview I saw on Sunday Morning. Her sister, Juliet, did say she’s okay with it, but that’s what I would expect her to say on national television. It may have been telling when the interviewer said Juliet isn’t going to make it to the inauguration because she has “prior engagements.” I’ll bet she…

Speaking of getting her check and not acknowledging diversity, I was surprised to learn that Jackie Evancho’s sister is transgender. If there was ever a reason NOT to perform at the inauguration, that would be it.

I didn’t know much about Jackie Evancho until last weekend, when she was featured in a Sunday Morning segment. I was beyond shocked to learn that her sister is transgender—Juliet was born Jacob. How the hell can she possibly square that with agreeing to sing at this inauguration?

Not voting would be preferable to being partially responsible for unleashing a madman. I never thought my husband would vote for Hillary. But I did let myself believe that after seeing and hearing everything Trump had to say, he wouldn’t vote at all. I so wish that had been the case.

Yes, yes and yes. Your comment has given me some much-needed perspective. It makes so much sense. I’ve spent lots of time trying to figure out how I could have been so wrong about the election outcome. Couldn’t people see that virtually everything he said was a lie? Didn’t they understand how this would affect the…

Here’s my dilemma: I agree with you 100%. His vote represents everything I despise and have fought for years to overcome.

You’re preaching to the choir. And you’re so right about cognitive dissonance. That’s exactly what I experienced when I learned my husband voted for Trump. From a behavioral standpoint, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Everything you said is what keeps me awake at night. His vote itself was an abhorrent act. I still haven’t fully come to terms with what it reveals about him..

Thank you. I’m not trying to be an apologist here because I know the dark heart it took to cast a vote for Trump, but I do want to say that for as long as I’ve known my husband, he’s been a decent human being. That’s why I was able to exist for so long in the fantasy land of he-can’t-possibly-be-a-real-Republican. And…

I agree with you, but until now, our disparate world views and opinions haven’t generally been a problem. This election opened my eyes to the reality of who I’m married to, though, and it colors the way I look at him in every way.

He understood what a blow it was to me, and tried to comfort me the best he could. He said he knew I would be shocked because I’ve been out of touch with what’s been going on with the unwashed masses (my words, definitely not his), and their level of dissatisfaction with the status quo.

You haven’t seen my posts, then, because I’m MARRIED to a Republican who voted for Trump. It’s not easy to admit, especially since I plan to stay married to him. This election has proven to be a deal breaker for a lot of people. I believe that if we had met when we were older and cared about politics, it would have…

I feel like a bobblehead doll, because all I seem to be able to do these days when I see stories like this is shake my head in a never-ending “no, no, no, this can’t possibly be happening” motion. How did this political garbage dump become our reality? Purely rhetorical question, although attempts at rational…

Late to this it-gets-better party, but I want to add my voice to the chorus anyway. My son was one of those screaming, restless infants who seemingly never slept for the first six months of his life. I don’t have any advice to make your situation better in the short term, but I do want you to know it can ultimately…

I’ve learned the true meaning of the word “despair” lately. I honestly don’t know how to cope with the election results and spend a good part of every day crying. I’ve tried abstaining from watching and reading the news, but the situation is impossible to ignore. Even my Facebook page is littered with posts and…

I could barely stomach watching the video, thanks to some gossip site/tabloid stories I’ve seen about his lack of personal hygiene and resulting horrific body odor. When he takes his hat off, his scalp reeks, apparently. Here’s a quote: “People have asked him if he sleeps in those damned things because the sweaty…

In keeping with Trump’s cabinet appointments so far, dude needs to emigrate to the U.S. so he can be named head of one of our national security agencies.

It sickens me to imagine how gleeful Trump must have been once he knew Romney had taken the bait. It’s like the playground bully has been given the keys to the school and an open invitation to attack anyone he chooses without consequences. The things this man has been allowed to do and say are mind-boggling. And…

Exactly why I have zero sympathy for Romney, who made a complete fool of himself (not that he had far to go) by meeting with Trump and thinking he had even an iota of a chance of being named Secretary of State. It was an obvious, devious and very public way for Trump to exact revenge for the things Mittens had said…
