I am still angry and very sick over it all. We weren't wrong, we were Ripped Off!!!

Hillary was and still is the best choice to lead this country forward!
People were prevented from voting!!! Period!!!

My concern for where we are headed under Dump's control, is all over the place.
1) Russian connection
2) Has no clue how to even staff the White House. Not to mention running it.
3) His cabinet appointees are even scarier then him.
4) Voter suppression will get worse. (That is how Hillary was ripped off from being our next President)
5) His kids be given security clearances
6) The hatred I have personally witness since the election. (The bigots are feeling empowered)
7) His and his teams conflict of interest with all their business and lobbying connections.
8) All the innocent loving people who are about to be hurt by this group of torrents.
9) THE MEDIA SELLING OUT!!! (We need to find trusted sources to stay informed)

Just to name a few off the top of my head

Just ripped a co-worker, told him I am going to hold him and others accountable for their votes. I said you voted for "W" and when shit crashed you acted as if you had nothing to do with it. I said "Republicans, never take ownership for their "F- UPS."

Well I let him know this time they are going to, because I will be that reminder. I told them I am sick and tired of people voting without any knowledge, plus not even learning from your mistakes, is excusable.

I ended it by saying, "Well BUDDY, this time you are, because I am never going to let you forget. You and the Media that promoted this shit, in my country, that I served many years to protect. You hand it over to Russia. And they are bragging about it!!!

Yeah, I am pissed, I have no tolerance for ignorant, self righteous people that are destroying my children future and the country I fought and served to protect.

I am feeling the exact same way and have all the same concerns. I am also very worried about Social Security and medicare being dismantled.

My only comfort about Social Security and Medicare is "W" tried it and everyone went crazy.
So I am hoping it is still just as unpopular as it was when Bush tried it.
I hope!! Who freaking know anymore.
I feel so out of touch with what people are truly thinking anymore.

Going to need it in a few years. Fucking Paul Ryan is a ghoul. I already called my senator Ron Wyden and congresswoman on that. Let's get grannies and middle agers in the street.

It's all that's keeping me from despair. And finding like minded people that aren't dumb and actually care abut the people that are being hurt and will be hurt. I'm a middle aged well off white woman in a blue state- I got nothing to lose but I don't want to live in a country that is supposed to be one for all and isn't. I'll find people in churches that agree. This is not America. This is not what people fought Nazi's and Communists for-to bring them into power here.

I long to live in a Blue state, once again.
Michigan has gone red and only gotten redder.
The crazy thing is you can tell. People used to care here, now it is everyone for themselves.
I will be retiring soon, so I will be looking for a nice blue state to escape too!
Or I will move to my cabin and build a fortress!!!
