#yiv8967253426 #yiv8967253426 -- DIV {margin:0px;}#yiv8967253426 I realize there are some sharp differences of opinion here on the Gathering, but as someone who fucking LIVES here, let me just say that I am incalculably ashamed to be an American today. 
Regardless of your stance on policy -- not that Trump ever actually discussed any tangible policies -- how anyone could spend five minutes listening to that fatuous bag of excitement attempt to string coherent sentence together and think: "yes, that man should hold the most powerful office in the so-called Free World" is FUCKING STAGGERINGLY BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.
If you think he's a champion for the unsung ---> You are FUCKING FOOLING yourselves. He DOES NOT CARE about you, and that will doubtlessly become obvious in short, catastrophic order.


If you think he's going to "shake things up" in Washington -----> You are a fucking idiot. Putting Trump in the White House is like putting a lit firecracker in a broken toaster. Is it going to shake things up? You betcha. Is it going to fix anything? NOPE.
The message we are sending to the world and to OUR OWN CHILDREN is that racism, antisemitism, proud anti-intellectualism, nativism, white supremacist ideals, misogyny, sexism, homophobia, the diminishment of a woman's right to choose, bullying, demagoguery, incitement of violence, avarice, wanton tax evasion, totalitarianism, climate change denial and creationism ARE ALL PERFECTLY OKAY. 
If you're an American who voted for him here on the Gathering, you have nothing but my undying contempt, and may the god of your choice forgive you, because I sure as FUCK will not.
I have many friends who are striving to make sense of this and espousing messages of solidarity, fortitude and hope. I realize that's the correct thing to do, and that in attempting same, I may find solace and comfort in the words and actions of the many like minds, but I AM NOT THERE YET. NOWHERE CLOSE.
Being a dyed-in-the-wool native New Yorker, I have never had a great amount of faith in my fellow American, because I am inherently a smug fucking snob, and I am PERFECTLY OKAY WITH THAT. But, again, DO NOT BE FOOLED!! Trump doesn't give fuck about the concerns of the American heartland's working families. They were exploited and manipulated by his slavish appeals to the lowest common denominator.
It's simply pathetic. I am sickened to the very core.
FUCK YOU, America.

Germans could say "Ach Du Scheiße" about that result.
