Does anyone else just randomly break down and cry since Trump was inaugurated? [View all]

I'm trying to be strong. Especially for my daughter. Yet she still doesn't understand why I cry. Sometimes we will be at the store and I'll just break down. She asks me "Why are you crying daddy?" and I don't know how to put it into words for her. I don't know how to tell her that she is going to grow up in a world fueled by sexism and misogyny. A world where it's okay for men to "grab her by the pussy" when she gets older.

I was incredibly disheartened and depressed when Trump won. But I still held out hope that the electoral college would stop him. Or the courts. How could they let such a blatantly racist fascist take the highest office in the world? I mean Hillary was supposed to win. She had a 95% chance in most of the polls. I just sometimes stop and think in the middle of the day how this happened and I break down.

I thought we lived in a progressive country. I thought we were moving towards progress. We elected Obama twice but how did we go from that to this?

I am at a loss for words.....
