I don't think I have been this badly hurt since my whole work betrayal a few years back. I am not sure why I can't shake this election but I find myself going in and out of being sad. I really can't believe that so many people have the mean thoughts that they do. I can't believe people are yelling in Starbucks or approaching people in the grocery store or holding rally's steps away from the White House where the speaker is hailing Trump.
I knew racism existed but I didn't know it was so bad. That is why American broke my heart. The people got mad and voted a tyrant into office. They didn't try and fix it, they just threw their vote in for some one who they knew would upset the system without really thinking how bad he could upset it. He lied and bullied throughout the campaign and now his behavior has suddenly opened up a flood gate of action.
People who sat with their racists thoughts are now reacting in public. It's like the world has gone crazy. I am really upset about it. I've travelled this world. People are generally nice. I just don't get how people harbor these thoughts? I know the world isn't fair to all but you would think humans have come so far in history that they would draw the line somewhere?
I guess I thought the "good" side was winning but alas, this election has shown the battle between what is good and what is evil is still going on and is perhaps, even more heated today. People are tired and giving up and that is what scares me. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I just don't feel like celebrating this year. Is this me, giving up? I don't know but I just feel like the next four years are going to be oh, so very hard on my soul!
