While this would be wonderful, I’m mostly upset by and afraid of the citizens who will undoubtedly take his victory as endorsement to act upon their hatred. A president isn’t all-powerful, there are ways of keeping him in check. But his campaign had become a rallying cry for neo-Nazi groups, and even just for the average sexist/bigot.

So right now, we need to focus on protecting our fellow Americans. And also the immigrants and refugees seeking shelter in our nation. We are our own best defense right now. We need to be there for each other, get involved in any way we can, make sure to vote for a bluer Congress in two years. We need to loudly show that we won’t let hate win, we won’t let progress roll back on us.
