Yes I am angry at the racism, bigotry and misogyny during this campaign. And I am also sad that we have exposed ourselves as not being as great as we think. It is also sad that so many people believe in their executioner. The people support Trumps will not get any economic relief from him or the GOP. They will only make matters worse for their supporters.
They would cut any of the programs that many of these people are actually on. They will also put an end to any health care any of them get. They are being used but do not have a clue. And they are angry at the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

(3,077 posts)Many of them are voting out of anger. Misplaced anger at that. Trump is playing them for suckers. He reached out to the lowest common denominator and fed it until it became the shit show it is now.

Our society has serious problems in the area of education, that need to be addressed, as quickly as possible.

(11,802 posts)The Obama presidency had caused an old wound to fester and become infected again. This election is the proverbial ripping off the scab to expose the infection to air and sunlight. Dig? Tomorrow, these people will crawl back under their rocks to become a dying breed. We are witnessing the last gasp of white male supremecy in this country.
The pendulum is swinging back to the left. The GOP and all of their holier-than-thou misogyny, racsicm, homophobia, and ignorance is being roundly rejected by the American people. It's a beautiful time to be alive brother (or sister).
Just my $0.02. Hope it helps you feel better.
