Dealing with the aftermath......

[NRaleighLiberal]

Man, this is hard. I started reading and posting on DU about 2 years ago after finding it via a Google search - Anti Bush Web Sites. This forum - you posters - have helped me through many dark times (political times, that is!).....As a 48 year old progressive New Englander transplanted into North Carolina, it has been tough for my wife and I to swallow the right wing religious hypocritical craziness we've seen down here....

But the outcome of the this election - geez - sent me into quite a depression - cycling through all of the stages, really - disbelief, anger, outrage, but the overriding current feeling is emptiness and perhaps a bit of despair. I will be looking for signs of hope that this country will not continue down the hole of religious, ideological fanaticsm, hatred, intolerance.....I hope I see some, but am not holding my breath in the near term.

give me some hope, people! thanks for listening....

1. Wish I could.

Give you some hope that is.

Today is worse than yesterday. I think I was in shock yesterday and today the depression is sinking in. I feel so helpless.
