ignorant racist-enabling or flat out racist, homophobic, sexist, bible banging, gullible (goes along with being a fundie xian bastard) troglodytes.
We also ran (and I have supported with all my heart and soul, and KNOW she was the most qualified candidate ever) a woman, who as the result of 27 years plus of constant right-wing attacks was truly and profoundly HATED by tens upon tens of millions of people. That hatred of Hillary drove people in vast numbers to switch party, or come out to vote for the first time in decades (if ever), and to do ticket splitting.
It was a perfect storm, a perfect shitstorm of confluences, and now we literally have a theocratic fascist racialist government being erected right before our eyes. They soon have control of all 3 federal branches of government, and HUGE majorities at state level in terms of statewide elected offices, governorships, state legislatures (which will FUCK us in 2020 Census redistricting, just like 2010, and lead to the decade of the 2020's House being almost impossible to take back) and also city and county governments. 2018 is shaping up to be a bloodbath for Dems in the Senate, with a very real possibility they can actually hit 60 seats.
We are fucked, the Rethugs gamed us at every level, they played for the long game, by crushing us down in the non glamourous levels of state and local politics. Women, PoC, LGBTQ folk (I am all 3, but live in London, luckily), immigrants, non christians, Muslims in particular but also atheists, Buddhists, etc etc, the poor, the middle class, we are all going into the meat grinder at a multiplicity of levels and ways.
I am terrified for the future of the disunited states of amerikkka.
sorry I cannot be of more help or a cheerful person
