We're nearly a month post one of the worst days of my life and I'm STILL not sure how I feel about the country of my birth. I WANT to still love America. But I don't right this minute. Right this minute I'm embarrassed to be an American. I feel like I live in the United States, and that's the best I can do right now. Thinking of Hillary as my President-in-Exile is helping a little (hey, if they can live in an alternate reality I can, too.)

I'm hoping I'll get past it, but every day he does something to embarrass us on the world stage. Every day he adds another person to his cabinet that HATES the agency they are being put in charge of. Everyday I hear of a new swamp creature being added to the swamp he promised to drain.Everyday I see a newly emboldened republican party in some part of the country doing something else to make this a harder country to live in.

Maybe it'll reach a point where it will stop, and all of a sudden it'll start to look like we're being included in this new, great America, but so far all I'm seeing is the ugly side of America. The part I want nothing to do with.

So yeah, I live here. But if I had a choice, I wouldn't. At least not now.

Yep and I am going to fight

Yep and I am going to fight this. I am already talking to my nephew in Pennsylvania, a liberal Republican who would never vote for Trump to help take the Democratic Party over everywhere. So I am never leaving the US, I am going to try to change this and make the party better.

I think the best thing about

I think the best thing about being you is that you're a teacher. You'll help people vote better. They probably won't even know it. Go get them, professor.
