It's the 10th of November. The day after Trump was elected. There are all kind of (jokes?) going around - 9/11 America was attacked. 11/9 America committed suicide.
My thoughts are in a whirl. I wish to write down now what I feel.
I feel we know so little of what happened to Americans not in the cities. I feel we know nothing of mid-west America and the people in the central and southern states. Only the edges were blue yesterday. The country was awash in red. for the republican party. for trump.
why am I speechless? this man has been openly predatory towards women. 11 women have testified that he sexually assaulted them exactly the way he boasts when he was an innocent 59 year old. where he just kisses attractive women, doesn't ask them. where because he is famous they let him do anything he wants with them. he can grab them by the pussy. This man is president of the USA, sanctioned by the majority of Americans. What we thought could never happen has happened.
what does this say? that the amount of unhappiness and frustration people have currently overrides their disgust at his way with women. Or, that it doesn't matter. who cares that he molests women. we can still vote him in. women don't matter. only white men do
he mocked a gold star parent. a soldier died for america and he mocks their parents. he says the mother didn't say anything because she wasn't allowed to. not because she was so grief stricken. this man is president.
I need to take a deep breath after each paragraph. but he is president. with a huge mandate. I'm not the only one stricken. world leaders everywhere are guarded. we will have to wait and see. he's going to review all trade agreements. he's going to put USA first.
and we shall wait and see.
His slogan is make America great again, make America rich again... what is unsaid is Make America White again!
