The Terrible Outcome

Like all of you, I am distraught.  We marinated in NPR on the road today, the hosts were analyzing what happened.  There were surprising shifts in voting patterns; Latinos, high school educated white guys, and some Black men shifted to the orange intestine.  Later analysis pointed out that orange had been on several bro dominated podcasts, courting young males.  He appeared on a stage with several imams, which encouraged Muslims to vote for him.  I can not fathom this at all, he's going to deport immigrants, he's already banned Muslims in his previous administration.  He's already said he won't accept Palestinian refugees and told Netanyahu to "finish the job."  How do people fall for this?  Women over 65 broke for Harris, we remember the before times.  

What is scaring me to death is if they actually cut Social Security and Medicare.  If they do, we're screwed.  Also what scares me is Elon Musk saying he's going to take three trillion dollars out of the budget, which will crash the economy, drive up prices for everyone (especially housing) and for two years things will be desperately bad.  RFKJr wants to get rid of vaccines, all of them.  Polio still exists in this world, finding an iron lung is virtually impossible, the manufacturers went out of business after the Salk vaccine.  Hey!  Bring back tetanus, whooping cough, all of it!  Good times.  It's still not known who will control the House, I really hope it's not the pubtards.  

If Elon manages to crash the economy in the first two years, I wonder if the mid-terms could do some correction on the House and Senate.  

This is what I wrote after Hilary lost.  It's still true.

 Well.  It feels like all of the air has been sucked out of the room.  I can not believe that man won.  I can't believe America hates women so much that they chose him over her.
Even if he's only a one term president, he's going to do some damage.  Ryan is already working on defunding the ACA.  The war on women is about to heat up again.  It will not surprise me if some forms of birth control are outlawed on his watch.
I am very, very angry at my fellow Americans who chose him.  It seemed like we were a better nation than this, but I was wrong. 

Stout heart, dear ones.
