I know it's not really the end of the world, but I have felt like a zombie all day. Others seemed to feel the same, but maybe that was only a side-effect of my perspective. I just cannot believe what our country has done, and I blame the King-Baby less than I do my fellow citizens. He might be fooling some people (obviously, he had already fooled many) with his concialitory tone today, but I'm not falling for it. At least he (and his flunkies) are already backtracking on the few policy decisions he discussed during the campaign, and anyone who thinks he'll really "build a wall" is crazy. Maybe even crazy enough to have voted for him.
I'm all about the democratic process -- when it's really a democratic process. When it is a reality show in the making, I support it less. Don't be surprised if faux news (sorry, I won't call it by its name or capitalize it) schedules a new show that takes place in the White House, following around the new {shudder} first family. And no doubt it will have a huge ratings share. The idiots will just eat it up.
Okay, I've been mean enough. Being mean isn't my nature, but this day has brought it out. At some point, I'll have to put it away. I feel proud of myself for pulling myself together sufficiently to teach four hours of classes today. Turkey vegetable soup awaits me in the crockpot. After dinner, I'm turning off the news and going to sleep. I can't do anything about the sexist, racist jerks (and the honest folks who were frustrated and lulled into believing promises that will never be fulfilled), at least not tonight. So I'll sleep instead, and get back to trying to save the world tomorrow.
