We don't care." I've NEVER felt ashamed to be an American as much as I am today. Never. My heart goes out to all those people and issues America just voted against. My heart goes out to every person who fought for equality and progressive stances on global warming and healthcare. My heart goes out to people of color and people of the Muslim faith. This is awful.
I'm almost more ashamed of the DNC. They could have put up anybody against him and they probably would have won but instead they put up Hillary f*cking Clinton, a bitch who I would never have voted for had she not been running against everything I believe in. They ruined a chance to put in Bernie Sanders, for, even if you hated his tax and economic plans, was about as ethically and ecologically pure as I've ever seen a politician be. Yet, they backed a f*cking weasel. The DNC deserved to lose but this country deserved better.
Sh*t, maybe this country deserved it. I'm not moving like so many people are saying they are. I'll stay and continue to voice my opinion on what I feel is right and wrong but I can't shake this feeling of total dread and loneliness I feel right now.
Strap in. This is going to be a long four years for pretty much everybody who isn't a racist homosexual bigot.

In other news the Governor race in North Carolina is still neck and neck so I'll keep you posted.
I can't imagine why people would be voting against the interests of NC's economy as a whole here though... but oh, right! Everyone here's ALSO racist, xenophopic, and gay-bashing.
I couldn't agree more with you either Exo, I'm more than pissed about what has happened.
