(4,558 posts)That she didn't win makes me sad, but the thing that really makes me sad is the thing she lost to.
A part of me died on November 8th. I was never so naïve to believe that racism was dead, or sexism was dead, or hate was dead. Hell, just about any article ever written on the topic brings out the racists, sexist pigs out of the woodwork to comment on them. But, I really did believe that their numbers weren't enough to put a president like... this thing.. in our Whitehouse.
I think what really is just sticking in my gut like some kind of seeping poison, is that he was elected based on the bile and crap that came right out of his mouth. The orange monster didn't even TRY to disguise his despicable ways, but went out of his way to promote it. The promises of white male supremacy wasn't made through surrogates, or veiled language, but laid right out there, and STILL enough people in the right states put that man in office.
I honestly don't know if I will ever love or care about this country again.
