As long as white trumpy men and the women who support them are in control, we are doomed.

Sad, but true. I hate that the rights we of my generation fought for are getting ready to be obliterated by these evil ones. My grandsons and daughters deserve better.

1. It's going to be a neverending nightmare.

2. As a Texan, I have always been the hopeful one when others around me were down.

It hurts so much to have to admit that my country is not now or will ever be what I thought it could be.

3. This country certainly has taken a monumental step backward.

4. Trying to regain my personal equilibrium in oder to be a good example but it is hard.

Although here is what my gson in Boulder did one day after the election. http://kdvr.com/2016/11/09/boulder-high-school-students-walk-out-in-protest/

5. What inspiring kids! That makes me feel all is not lost. But I don't think

my own equilibrium will ever be restored - I don't see how it can be really, not while these monsters are busy trampling on every trace of progress that's been made in the past 85 years.

6. As a feminist, I think how much heartache our founding mothers must have been subjected to,

but they didn't give up. Many, probably most, never lived to see the results of their fight. So I can't be a whiny baby now but must find a way to fight on.

7. It's just so discouraging because there is no incentive for these assholes to listen to us -

none. They have everything sewn up. We can protest - and I plan to participate in the Women's March in DC (local to me).

8. Me too. In Austin. My other gson, whose bd is Jan 21, thinks the protests will be great for a bd

party. He will be 13. He also thinks a car show will be great, but the only one close to that date is in Detroit. He lives in Boulder also.
