I Am Angry & Sad At The Same Time. Angry At The Racism/Sad That So Many People Are Fools.

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.

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.

believe black people are "less evolved" than white people. Even a significant percentage of 'liberals' accept such twaddle.

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

And they want the world to be like it was in 1950. Brlieving that women should stay at home and being gay is sinful. They are a ignorant group.

Areas have been opened where we need work and understanding of one another .

Actually I am thankful .... even my husband and myself have had a few conversations this past year on subjects you listed we would not have if it were not for election .

Has opened my eyes to areas around here and our country and work that is needed for everyone and between one another

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.
