Well, Then

[amarie24]

I am...desolate.

Quite simply desolate.

I've seen posts on my Tumblr dash and elsewhere asserting that this is not the end, we can and should hang in there, we'll keep fighting, we'll protect each other, we'll stay strong.

This is not the end.

We'll keep fighting.

But, it's just...y'know...I kinda, really, truly hoped that we wouldn't have to fight. That maybe just a little, teeny bit of that would be over.

Kinda hoped for some good news tonight. Some very, very, very good news.

'Cause, y'know, good news is good.

Well, then. See if my black woman is ass going to have the spoons to attend school tomorrow with the white fools that are my classmates.

Just see.

I can't even. It horrifies me. But I have to get up in the morning, go to work, and... be kind. To all the people who just got told that the majority doesn't want them.

That's all I can do.

Give 'em hell, Amarie. Because it's going to take that for the magnitude of what may happened to sink in.

Love you.

This is heartbreaking. And so, so wrong.

In spite of all the signs of Trump supporters' racism, ableism, Islamophobia and misogyny, I really, really hoped that they were an aberration. A minority, albeit a very loud and singularly unpleasant minority.

I thought better of this country.

I feel like we've just unwilling entered into an abusive relationship that we won't be able to escape for at least four years. This is such a nightmare :(
