(5,751 posts)We finally had enough decent people vote to elect in a non-white President. I still give those people credit. It couldn't have happened without a evolving change in consciousness among many millions of people in this country.
That was the good news.
We all know about the bad news. I admit I was naive because none of these racist, homophobic, misogynist wastes of skin are among my social circle. And they are pretty much invisible in a town like Madison, WI.
I had no idea SO MANY people are so hateful. Sure, there are all types everywhere, but this many moronic shit-eaters took me by surprise.
Love will prevail in the end, but it will be a long and not pretty fight to the finish.
Pwnmom - Sorry if I said anything nasty to you during the primary fiasco (I'm sure I did). I'm starting fresh now.
