Fair enough.
To the OP, it sounds challenging. I have had little regard for the President Elect since he was just a blowhard NYC developer and the fact that he doesn’t respect women, insults handicapped people, and wants to eliminate judges because of where their parents were born only cemented my estimation of him.
I thought he’d lose. I was wrong. A very wise person I know told me that more than being disappointed in the half of the voters who voted for trump, they were disappointed in themselves and the half who voted for Hilary for being so disconnected that they didn’t see the pain of those who voted for Trump. Very wise.
And in any case, he won, he’s the President, and he now has the opportunity he earned to do it right or not. It’s pointless to march and wail, and it disrespects the system that has preserved American democracy for so long.
I’m almost more disillusioned with the people here who supported him than I am with Trump himself. He didn’t grow up with the kedusha so many here have had in their lives.
This wise person also had one request of those – men specifically- who voted for Trump. sit down with your wives, your daughters, your mothers, your sisters, your grandmothers. Explain to them how you voted for a man who boasted of behaving disgustingly and assaulting women and feeling entitled to do it.
Tell the women in your life that you were comfortable enough with that to vote for him.
If you have the gumption to do so.
