I am currently immobilized by hopelessness. I’m also a multiple rape, sexual assault, and abuse/violence survivor, so I’ve been shattered this week. I want to be able to do things like march and protest, but I don’t think my PTSD will cooperate. Intellectually, I know that I have to keep myself safe and functional or…

For God’s sake, nooooooo. Republicans did this. Even yelled “You lie!” with Obama during his speeches and they came off as bratty, whiny children.

Then I see that 53% of white women voted for this sentient sack of rotting pumpkin innards.

I was a Bernie supporter who hated Clinton. I hated her for her corporate shilling, her fracking and her hawkishness, to name but a few. But I voted for her because Trump.

Not to mention the fact that she was also running against Putin, the FBI, and Wikileaks. You have to wonder how things might have turned out on an even playing field. Let’s all just pray that we survive to 2020.

oh my god, i am crying at work. This is so sad and this is an incredibly brave and gracious way for her to concede.
