There appears to be a resurgence of very vocal, in-your-face-type deplorables who are emboldened by trump. Personally speaking, the deplorable aspect of Trump's victory is what hurt the most.

But at the end of the day, I really don't care what they say or think.

If I have a long face right now, it's because we have a mentally unstable madman calling the shots (literally) and making us all less safe. It's because the elected GOP is ready to overturn everything I care about. I want the ACA to remain in place and improve. I want my rights (including reproductive rights) to be protected and preserved under the law. And I should have equal and fair access to EVERYTHING that anyone else has access to--quality education, home mortgage, jobs, etc.
