Politics overload
Feb. 28th, 2016 05:29 pmI don't know how many people are still here. I know I haven't been using Livejournal much in recent years. I blame the formatting issues that make posting anything long a headache.
But...
Are any of my fellow Americans as terrified as I am right now? I mean...I thought I was scared back in 2012, but at least Romney wasn't openly a Fascist. I keep telling myself that a country that refused to elect Romney wouldn't be crazy enough to vote for Trump, but I'm not sure I actually believe it. I've seen too many people who are completely beyond reason. Some days I'm afraid to go out in public because I don't know when some unhinged whacko next to me is going to snap. I actually flinched once when a stranger made a sudden move in my direction because I thought he was going to hit me (I was wearing donkey earrings at the time).
