I recall reading this the first time and again today as it did then it reminds me of that awful, awful moment late in the night on November 8th 2016 when he hit 270. I also thought we as Americans would never allow a Trump. I knew walking home that evening, feeling a deep sense of both dread and fear that it could never be the same again…

I also thought we as Americans would never allow a Trump. I knew walking home that evening, feeling a deep sense of both dread and fear that it could never be the same again. I knew I'd never ever be able to know someone voted for this man and still see them as a good person. I knew why they voted for him. I knew they knew why they voted for him. I knew it wrecked (or revealed) America as we knew it. That sense of hopelessness and dread still lives with me every day and I have no idea how to change it because now I know who they are. They wanted me to know. They wanted me to know they valued assholes and vilified kindness. I don't see how it can be forgotten. Voting Republican these days is an unforgivable betrayal of not only democracy itself but human decency in general.
You are not alone. I feel exactly the same way. If people STILL support trump after all he’s done to this country, they are either stupid or bad people.
