How? This is unimaginable. I told my daughter last night “Aren’t you glad you do not live in America, if you need, you will have medical care and the doctors will not be trying to decide if they save your life or worry if they will go to jail trying to save your life”. I shed tears for this outcome and for the people so blind to this man and his sidekicks.
So sickening. I could barely get out of bed this morning. It's worse the second time. I underestimated the hatred, misogyny, intolerance and outright stupidity of my fellow 'mericans. My apologies to the whole world.
I do not know what these people think Trump will accomplish other than enriching himself and his friends and attempting to set up a dictatorship. So much for patriotic values.
Jeebus, what a sickening turn of events. I'm grateful to be Canadian today, but I can't help but feel that Canada and other NATO allies and G7 countries are now squarely in the GOP/Trumpian crosshairs. I fervently hope that this time, the demonstrative stupidity of the American electorate will bite them HARD in their collective ass, instead of wreaking collateral damage to other democratic countries in the world!
I'm doing my best not to fall into despair. Unfortunately, I think Americans are in for a rude awakening and a very rough ride. I hope I'm wrong. We shall see. Meanwhile I'm moving forward with my life, and I will continue to stand up for what I believe in. On a positive note, voters in Colorado preserved the right to abortion in our state constitution and lifted a 40-year old ban on using government money to pay for abortions. We also passed an amendment to our state constitution to recognize same sex marriages and to repeal the state's constitutional definition of marriage as "a union of one man and a woman." These were two extremely important constitutional amendments to me. Overall, I was very happy with the election results in our state, county, and city. One day at a time. Hugs to you, Debra!
Yeah, Democracy may have Died at the Hands of our own Citizenry Today... I've Grieving and in Mourning as we speak.
ReplyDeleteEveryone whether Republican or Democrat, will benefit if Trump is able to put an end to these awful wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous -- Trump will do so by deserting and betraying his allies, as he has also done in past conflicts, and will do in the future with NATO.
DeleteYup. That was America's last election.
ReplyDelete@ Guillaume -- Well, America's last legitimate election. Future ones will be manipulated "elections" like his pal Putin has in Russia.
DeleteThank you, Debra!!
ReplyDeleteMisinformation will abound.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your support and sympathy. We will RESIST.
ReplyDeleteWe're in trouble. It's going to be a long four years :(
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a good analogy
ReplyDeleteWhen you get outside the cities and suburbs and into the "country", America can be a really dark place.

ReplyDeleteHere down under. We just can’t comprehend it. I just hope it ends well. For all of us

ReplyDeleteThis is accurate.
ReplyDeleteAmericans have played themselves, no matter how much warning they got. Welcome to fascism, pals.
XOXO
