Yep, it's a sad day for America and democracy as a whole. It will take us the rest of our lives to recover from the horrific effects of this administration, if ever. Like most parents, I had hoped to leave a better world for my kids, one in which they could move about as freely as possible and make informed choices, and in which the amount of fear and meanness would be kept to as much of a minimum as possible. That hope is fast becoming the impossible dream. I sure hope the people who voted these people in find the pittances that were tossed back at them all worth it.
