Effectively speaking.... it was an anti-establishment election and the anti-establishment candidate won. Unfortunately, said candidate is also an all-around asshole. :/

There isn't much I can say to be happy about. Today I've just spent a lot of time outside in the sunshine or with my dog. the ungrateful monster brat

I can see anger against the system and politicians as usual, but the grossness of Donald Trump toward women and the utter lack of empathy he seems to have for anyone else has shook me badly. It just feels like a terrible, terrible mistake to allow him in a position of power, and a repudiation of the value of so many other people. The more I see his behavior, the petulance and animosity and temperament, the more dread I feel. If we'd won a majority in Congress I'd feel less fear.

I agree. I kind of blame everyone bc the media should have shut him down IMMEDIATELY instead of giving him airspace, politicians should have stood up and not allowed him to be the nomination, heck, even Clinton's own team wanted him to be the nom so she could be in the general against him. And obvs. I blame the voters that chose him but like... yeah. It's kind of a "every single step of this has been a disaster" and just makes me really sad. It's going to be rough and I really hope it motivates people to vote in 2018. :/

That is a big monster. My monster thinks he is that big but that's his ego.
