Guess Not

Nope, not normal yet.  Maybe a few days and the hoopla will settle down.
As a liberal democrat it was disheartening to wake up and find out that Donald Trump is the new president elect.  But it is what it is. We will survive this just as we have done in the past.  Just this time I see our country going backwards.
Someone posted on facebook about Reagan being the greatest president we ever had.  Funny how they see that.  I don't.  Reagan and trickle done economics is when my family had to go to two incomes to feed our kids.  It wasn't wonderful and better than anything before or since.  But we survived it.
We survived the Bushes and the war in Iraq. All those weapons of mass destruction that just weren't.  And a vendetta for Daddy's honor.
So let's hope that we move forward and not backward.  And if we move backward, let's hope it can repaired in the future.  His platform was Let's Make America Great Again.  I never thought it wasn't great.  I have always been proud that I was born here and realize it is just luck.  Are there areas that could use work, well of course.  All the social media and cameras now days show us a lot of things we didn't know.  What his campaign showed me personally is that there is a lot of racism and sexism out there.  Thought we had come a lot further than that.  But alas, I was wrong.
So I will just continue to live my life like I have.  I have two kids to keep raising.  And that takes up a great deal of my time.  So I'm not left with a lot of time to worry about politics.  Will politics affect my life?  Yes.  But I'm a survivor.  And I will just roll with it.
