R.I.P. America!
Today, there will be no standard blog post. Instead, this is a very personal message.
In 2008, I volunteered, worked, and traveled with the Barack Obama campaign, because I believed in unity, rights for women, rights for the LGBT community and more. That year, the message was clear: “Hope” and “Change.” Last night, that message died.
On November 8, 2016, a reality television star with NO political experience, NO foreign policy experience, NO knowledge of government or leading a nation, and NO plans or concrete details on what he’d actually do on behalf of the country, became the President-elect of the United States. Stunning!
Last night, 61% said he is not qualified for the presidency. Last night, 63% said he does not have the temperament to be Commander-In-Chief and leader of the free world. However, last night, 55 million Americans voted him into office anyway. Unbelievable!
Last night, Donald Trump did not win. Racism won. Misogyny won. Islamophobia won. Homophobia won. Ignorance prevails.
Today, Hope is dead. Health Care for all is dead. A fair Supreme Court is dead. The advancements of 8 years of the Obama regime is dead.
Rest in peace, America. May you reap what you sow. The inmates are now running the asylum!
Well I'm coming to the site early today. After hardly any sleep last night I'm up to go to work and face some coworkers who are going to brag about their boy winning. DJ you got it right when you said racism won, misogyny won, islamophobia won, homophobia won. I am totally speechless. Maybe now we can stop pretending racism is dead in this country because it's not.
