I know exactly how you feel. 

 

But the sad thing is that Trump's success is not an isolated occurrence. All around the world misogyny, xenophobia, and homophobia are running rampant. We read about all the time in the newpapers and see it on the news. The Brexit referendum became a lot more about immigration than it should have been, gay pride parades are being attacked all over Europe, and right-wing parties are flourishing all over the place. In polls our own right-wing party (with its roots in neo-nazi circles) have the support of around 17-18% which is something I never thought would happen.

It's a disturbing and very alarming development.

I voted earlier this afternoon (#imwithher) but I'm not going to tune into election coverage until the polls are closed on the East Coast (8-9 pm EST) because I'm not with allowing the media make me (more) crazy as I have quickly come to realize that the media revels in madness and mayhem.
