So now what do we do?

49% of this fair country (my own uncle included) just elected the single most despicable candidate I have ever had the misfortune to see in a race. Smug, sexist, racist, entitled, privileged, morally bankrupt...actually bankrupt-several times. Dismissive, arrogant and full of crap. Lies about what he has said , even when it is on video.  Crass, inciting, careless. Willing to say absolutely anything to score a point.  And unrepentant when caught. It is all a plot, it is all rigged.

And then he won. He is going to be our next president. Or as my girls say "not my President ".

To get elected he promised to turn back the clock on LGBT rights, on women's rights, on basic human rights for people coming to this country.  He is going to "take America back". From whom, for whom? From minorites, women, foreign born , to "give it back" to middle class white people? About whom our President elect gives not a tinker's dam. He didn't when he did business with them. They were little people he could bully into taking less than they were owed. He didn't  care about the participants in his beauty pageants, whom he treated as property..

A name calling petulant child who tweets like spoiled brat at3am. This is who half of the country has elected.  Why? Because he is different. Not a politician,  not politically correct. Another way to say, rude, crude, insulting and has no idea what the hell he is doing. But hey he is a boss.  He will just sweep in and give orders.  Like a bull in a China shop.

Just what we need to meet wth world powers. Just what we need in negotiations.

And just who we need to appoint a Supreme Court judge.

So desperate for change are millions of my fellow citizens that they would elect a ham sandwich. And they did.
