I'm still in shock that it happened. I won't get over it. I'm still angry at all the saboteurs who helped it to happen: Jane Sanders (encouraging people to vote 3rd party "as long as they voted, that's all that mattered") and Susan Sarandon (telling everyone that a Trump presidency would bring about "the revolution" sooner), and Nina Turner, and Cornel West, and Bree [whatever her name is] and everyone who did their utmost to discourage turnout. I'll never forget and I'll forgive them. Never.
