4. I'm sad too and relate to all of those feelings.

A big difference for me between 2016 and now is that in 2016 I thought he was mostly a clown who wouldn't do any good but probably couldn't do a lot of harm, but now I see that notion was a complete folly, because regardless of his idiocy he is now surrounded by super-purposeful, cruel and evil people like Stephen Miller and those horrendous creeps from the Heritage Foundation who have been planning for decades for this moment and know exactly what they want to do. And we know Trump doesn't want to govern, he'll just turn the governing over to them. SO I'm willing to admit I'm scared to death. Climate, Ukraine, Civil Rights, Women's Health, the safety of everyone on his Enemies List (including many of our most effective Democrats), seems now to hang totally in the balance. I wonder if a lot of people will resign from politics and leave the country.
