Nov. 9th, 2016 10:17 pmI am so devastated and so disgusted with my country right now. And I'm mourning. Again. I feel like I've been mourning for like, ten years now, at this point. I haven't cried very much yet; my mom and I watched the polls and the evening got grimmer and grimmer between us.
I'm trying to remain positive and remain understanding about why this has happened, why Trump has been elected - middle America, rural whites, feeling disenfranchised and ignored for too long - but ultimately I'm just full of hatred for my fellow Americans and I don't really care to change or fix it. I live in the red South so my blatant disgust is is tempered by paranoia. I'm surrounded by people who think Trump is a good idea.
We must continue fighting. We must continue moving forward. I know that. But this was such a disheartening blow. Like, dang. It's going to take some time to really come to terms with this.
President Trump. For fuck's sake.
