It's so unbelievably disheartening that people don't get why there's such pain and outrage in this election. I see so many comments online about whiny liberals needing to just suck up the loss. The fact of the matter is that this election was never truly about which party was entering the Whitehouse come January. This election was about the core values of this country and what Americans will and won't tolerate and for the end result to have shown that Americans support racism, sexism, hate, discrimination against all that is not white, etc, is heartbreaking beyond belief. Idgaf that Republicans won, I care that HATE won. There's no spinning that, regardless how Trump supporters may try. I respect people's opposing political opinions but this election is about discrimination, masquerading as "political opinion". Trump supporters are trying to trivialize this as if we're just sour about losing but the truth is, America lost two nights ago, not just Democrats. I saw people, supposedly friends, votr for an Amerikkka that directly puts my family at risk. The magnitude of that is tremendous and not something I'll get over, or "suck up", ever. They voted against my husband's worth as a human being, voted against my children, my daughter. I'll never accept the message Americans sent 2 days ago. I think many Americans, young and old, feel just as betrayed and heartbroken as I do and hearing people trying to trivialize that makes me even angrier.
Raider, I'm often (seemingly each day) thanking WW and WM in my life who are much like yourself. ..and I thank you as well. I refuse to believe so many others don't see what you see in terms of injustices and so on. This is clearly way beyond political sides. It's a lot more about decency, and so on. Yes, I heard some with that suck it up thing too. How hypocritical of them seeing as nearly 8 years later they're still disrespectful to President Obama.
The person who sent me the PM on FB did keep it civil, and we were able to discuss our positions regarding this climate, life in general, and we were able to end with a virtual hug.
