Is it as bad as you expected - worse?

[crosinski]

73. The night of the election, I sat down with my scrapbook to record the election counts state by state

as they came in. Yes, silly me. I'm a 62 year old woman who sincerely expected to see the first woman president of the United States elected that night. My husband (who is a true feminist, bless him) and I had contributed quite a bit to Hillary's campaign. I still have all the Hillary buttons and stickers in the envelopes they came in. I still haven't decided what to do with them.

It didn't take long to see that something was going wrong that night. Finally, we went to bed. I keep my tablet by the bed, and I jolted awake very early to check the news. All I said was 'Oh my God!' And my husband woke from a dead sleep to say, 'He won, didn't he.'

For five days in January, I kept a diary of the bizarre happenings surrounding the -45 administration, but I gave up because I literally couldn't keep up. And I've had a hard time keeping up since. I feel like my eyes have been frozen open in the shocked position ever since.

So, the answer to your question is; neither my husband or I had any idea that it would be this bad. We didn't know it COULD be this bad.

For those of you interested, here's my January diary:

“I was non-judgmental until the last 15 minutes,” said Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN). “I no longer have that confidence in him. Some of the things that were revealed in this classified briefing — my confidence has been shook.” 

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said he was “extremely concerned” about what had been revealed, which was confidential.

Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) was so shaken by what he’d learned that he could barely complete a sentence. “I’ll just — I’m very angry,” Takano said.
