Deep in my heart, I truly didn’t believe this outcome was possible. I’m not even thinking about what the next four year will be like- my brain hasn’t gotten that far: I’m just trying to understand how this happened. Trump is a mean, crude, sexist, racist, bully, and I’m deeply, deeply saddened that so many people voted for him. It makes me feel like an outsider in my own country. Maybe I’m the one who’s not seeing things correctly? I’m confused.
Remember what Barack Obama said on election day 2016: “No matter what happens, the sun will rise in the morning.” On this sad day, look for the sunrise, my friends.

It’s shocking and it’s not – and I don’t know which is worse. Thinking of you, Jenny, and all of us…
I’m so horrified that he’s won the popular vote this time in addition to the electoral college, Jenny…
I have the same sense of unreality as you do–am *I* the one not seeing things for what they are?
