graphic post warning*********
This is the most scared I have been since I saw my DH hanging in my garage. I don't know why but this is truly triggering me right now and I can't breath. I don't know what to do. It's that feeling of having no control all over again maybe. It's scary and it's not like I can call someone to talk/cry that Trump might win.
I'm also now irrationally scared to send J to school tomorrow.
Hugs, Karma. I am sorry you're feeling so stressed. Put something relaxing on to watch and try and distract yourself. We made it through eight years of George W. And he was pretty awful in his own way. We're going to survive and some how move on in spite of this very, very unfortunate outcome and what it says about voters...

For so many people to have so much hatred for other people who are not just like them that they would put their own best interests and the best interest of the country at stake is mind boggling to me. I really thought, hoped, that there were more good than bad. I was wrong. I'm angry, scared, and sad.
I am currently lighting someone up on FB who is telling my black friend how he should feel about Trump being elected. He's also told him that Trump is better than Obama, etc. My friend works with this ignorant bastard every day, Jesus help us.
Can I vent here? I am in a fucking rage over the FB posts right now, about to chuck my phone at the wall.
I posted expressing my concern about what this means for people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ, and people with disabilities. MIL commented something like "well I know a black person and a brown person and a gay person who voted for trump and blah blah blah, just want a good economy, American values, we shouldn't react in fear," or some shit like that.
Then the high-and-mighty, white privilege denying Christian acquaintance chimed in about how we all have to respect and pray for Trump and show compassion and understanding. Fuck that, I voted for compassion and understanding. Trump is and will always be a bigot.
