My mind keeps circling back around to a hard truth: we’re in deep shit, no matter how you cut it. Trump and his far right cronies are going to have four years to lay waste to everything we love about this country. They’re already getting started. And they’ll have both houses of Congress on their side.

Climate change. The Supreme Court. Marriage equality. Reproductive rights. The separation of church and state. It’s all on the chopping block. And the changes Trump makes will be long-lasting and take a hell of a lot of work to reverse, assuming we ever get in a position to do that again.

Not trying to be a downer, but damn. This sucks really hard and I don’t see how we can do anything to stop it.
