My eight year old immigrant brown skinned child just cried her eyes out [View all]

She said she was scared that trump was going to take her and her mommy out of the USA and she would never see me again. I told her not to worry, we would not let that happen, that I would fight him however I needed to. She finally stopped crying and said, "Can I fight him too?" I told her absolutely, that there were millions of us who are going to resist and make sure that him and his goons don't take away legalized immigrants.
She keeps a sort of journal because she is a talented artist, and she drew a picture of two people fighting. When I asked her what that was, she said, "That's you and Donald trump fighting. You are knocking him out." And I swear that I will if anyone tries to take her, or mess with her or her mommy.
Thank you for letting me vent a bit. I have been in a state of anger and shock since the election and need to let loose every now and then.
