Not my Pick

No amount of Halloween candy is going to make this feeling go away.
But--sorry, kids--I'm still going to try.

I'm incredulous that the American people picked such an overtly abusive man to be their Commander in Chief for the next 4 years.

I'm so incredulous that I'm left to believe that people must be more racist and sexist than I believed them to be. If Harris were a white male saying and doing the same things, (s)he would have won, right?! (S)he must have. It's the only way I can make sense of it.

Husband says it's hard for me to grasp because I'm blind to conservative America's concerns, which include, but are not limited to: their kids being sent to the school psychologist and taught gender fluidity. Color me blind, because I don't think I'd be that concerned if that happened to my kid. But you know what would concern me? Giving my kid's teacher a gun and dolling out guns like Halloween candy to anyone whether they're dressed up as a sane person or not. That would concern me, but I'd just keep my kid home or find an alternative peace school. What really upsets me is allowing that man to have a microphone and the world as his stage when he repeatedly uses it to demean other humans without remorse. And he goes beyond demeaning. He incites action from his supporters which brings about real harm to real people.

You can tell me her policies made her lose.
You can tell me other people aren't as sensitive to his trash talk as I am.
You can remind me that God is still God and this blip of human history is literal nothingness.

I'm still going to sit on my couch eating Halloween candy on a warm November day feeling incredulous and disagreeing 100% with 50.9% of Americans.
