wildvision: (Anthy - Stars have gone out)
...I have never in my life been ashamed of my country before. I am now. I always talk about how stupid the general public is, and how I don't really have much faith in humanity...well, apparently I had more than I thought, because I am genuinely shocked and sickened by this turn of events. I didn't really think it could happen. Surely we, as a nation, couldn't be this stupid, this hateful. Well, clearly I was wrong. And I don't know what we're supposed to do, from here. As a woman, this scares me. And even still, I know I'm better off than many. I'm white, I'm straight, I was born here. Many people fall into more than one group that Trump and his ilk are ready to attack. I'm scared for them, too.

I just...there are no words. How could we let this happen?
