I am so sick. As a woman, I cannot fathom voting for the candidate who admits to sexual assault. As a special education teacher, I cannot fathom voting for the candidate who ridicules people with disabilities. And as a person, I cannot fathom voting for a racist, xenophobic bigot.
The sad part is that I personally will likely be fine, since I am an upper-middle class white person (though I do have a uterus, so…there’s that). But so many people who I love will not. Ironic that pretty much everyone who actually VOTED for the asshole will not, either.
All I’ve got left is to look to the past and see if there is hope for the future.
There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands. Plato
This may be where we see a President actually more stupid than Bush. An apprentice as President… wow.
Yeah, how’d that work out for him?
I was wrong, wrong, wrong!!!
OK just fucking shit. Just change Missouri to Misery. We’ve got Greitens as a newbie Republican Gov., Blunt won’t go away for love or money, we passed photo ID ( and by the way when I showed them my passport they couldn’t find me and had to show my DL), we got a AG whose sole aim is to get rid of Planned Parenthood, and what ever I posted about being positive is crap.
I’m going to bed and read my book on the Roman Empire, I may just skip to the Vandals and Goths sacking Rome.
