I am numb, my husband is trying to be a rock. I have to go to work today, at my very conservative workplace, and avoid everybody.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

TCG can't take the day off, and I'm dreading seeing my inlaws today. My stomach is in knots. I can't believe this is the country my daughter is going to grow up in.

I, at least, get to start my day by checking out books to elementary school students, and end it by teaching nonprofits how to get grants to do their good work (usually arts and social services.)

Scola, if it helps, I am right there with you.
We just told HPF.

Yeah. I'm awake. Not happily but here it is.
I agree. I want to hibernate. I don't want to sit in a class of immigrant students and explain to them how much the rest of the country hates them. I just don't.

And, in Cincinnati the murder trial of the cop who shot an unarmed black man in a traffic stop is scheduled to end today! There's no way that could end badly...

You know what really pisses me off about the post-election analysis? I keep hearing that all the working class folks are pissed off at the "elites" for not making their lives better or not caring about them. And somehow that boils down to who is president, when 99% of what can be done to help anyone falls on congress's head. You want change - overturn the Republican stranglehold in the Senate and House. Basic civics people! Go back to high school, you obviously don't deserve the diploma they gave you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I am stuck at: "How? What? How?"

Well, and, DOnald Trump IS an elite! He acts like some sort of yokel, but he is, like, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous elite! Generational elite!
