(24,726 posts)I haven't been ABLE to cry! I think I'm just too traumatized. Afraid to let my emotions surface Walk around with a big lump in my throat. RAGED on the night of 11/8. But still can't actually cry.
So, you might be better off. Hugs.

(15,220 posts)But just knowing what's happening right now, how it will affect my family and me personally, is devastating. Knowing that this chump is going to hurt people that I care about - whether I know them personally or don't know them at all - is maddening to me.
The tears are a mixture of hurt and anger. The hurt will subside. The anger will be my motivator for action. I've already been active since November 8th, and I'll become more so because the rage of this injustice is never going to leave me.
I won't be alone in that.

He will try to cover up the light of truth, but as long as it burns within us, he will have failed.

(15,220 posts)You are right. We must not forget and we must stand together like we've never stood together before. No quarter for the assholes that support this jerk - whether by voting for him or by serving his agenda.

(15,220 posts)And I work with a bunch of Republicans. Luckily, most of them have stayed home this morning to watch the coronation, and I'm generally alone here at the office for the moment, at least.
I will be part of the resistance, and YES we have to get through this together. You are absolutely right about that, and we are going to have to learn ways to come together like we've never had to do it before.
