Barring a pre-xmas miracle Donald Trump will be President-Elect as of the morning. I am so totally baffled and ashamed of my country right now that I don’t even know what to think. Trump, best recognized as every version of that rich kid bully who never gets his in the movies, came out as a big plans guy–an outsider who held is ideas close to the vest, promising to surprise us when he is ready. He appealed to a significant portion of the USA and that portion came out to brexit vote.
I don’t know what happens next. Even the smart people I know are rather uncertain of what is going to go down with him as president and both the house and senate controlled by his party. The opposition balked at the ease at which Obama was able to get his measures passed. Now I wonder what is going to get passed under this watch.
I am drained and emotional and done.
