Exactly! It bothers my dad more that I speak out about his and Trump’s hate, than it did when I was holding my tongue.

Yes, I am going through that with my Dad, and it makes me feel sad that he doesn’t realise that our relationship is more important than his and Trump’s hate.

It’s especially galling when the Trump supporters say “Let’s See What Happens.” Now when I run out of cranberry juice for the vodka, I might try orange juice to “See What Happens”. When it comes to the leader of the free world, I want to know exactly what’s going to happen. Fascism cannot be disguised by flags or…

My parents are both democrats, but most of my dad’s family is not. I don’t usually travel home for Thanksgiving (Texas) and instead spend the holiday with my paternal uncle’s family in Orange County, which is a lot closer to where I live in LA, obviously.

Same.

If their values are centered on racism, white supremacy, bigotry, and homophobia I couldn’t care less how undervalued they feel. I’m not going to try to empathize with my oppressors and it’s disgusting for people to be suggesting this is what I need to do.

Here’s what is confusing me about this not at all brave new world we are entering. A year ago I would have sworn it was a universal feeling that Nazis were and are the worst. But now swastikas are showing up all over the place and some real deep and mean hate has bubbled over.

I have a few friends and family members who are teachers and administrators in different kinds of schools (posh private schools, urban and suburban public schools), and all of them told me they had crying, terrified kids of all ages in their schools Wednesday - Friday. I know a few parents whose kids stayed home…

He makes me [sic] to my stomach.

I’ll treat President Trump with the same respect the Republicans treated President Obama and their willingness to unify. How’s that for fair?

I guess I should get comfortable with the taste of bile rising in the back of my throat.

I said this in another article and I’ll say it again, noticing the spelling of some of the graffiti:

Someone near and dear to me said of Hillary this morning, “She took the loss like a man”. I think my head spin all the way around before I exploded.

I’ve definitely become more assertive with men since Tuesday. My boyfriend is practically afraid of me.

I hope he sits to close to an open fire at Camp David and melts like the melting Nazis at the end of Raiders.

I have been talking a lot about this. Never in history have CHILDREN been terrified by a presidential election. And they aren’t ‘getting it from their parents ‘. They’ve heard all the mean things The Donald said themselves. They know a scary man when they see one.

This election has been such a lesson in what people really think and how quick they can be to invalidate other people’s feelings. I’m a teacher too, and I’ve seen it at my elementary school. Our district is majority Mexican-American, and some kids are terrified because mom/dad/grandma/grandpa is from Mexico. He…

im so fucking tired of white women who hate black people and muslims and other poc so much that they want us dead more than they want their bodily rights

That’s because America is ended. We live in a ghost country that doesn’t know it’s dead.

my stepfather broke down on the day Trump was elected and confessed to us that he is undocumented. he was able to leave safely today morning and he’s returning to his home country via Canada. my mom will leave soon after to join him. we’re fortunate to be economically stable, and i have to stop myself from thinking of…
