Liberalism is dead. Long live Liberalism.
Last night was hard. I have never felt so powerless and frightend in my life. I fear for this country; I fear for this world. I've been numb, literally numb for hours. How could we have lost? How can so many people ignore so much evil? Last night I was disgusted with my country. It went beyond disappoint to utter contempt and revulsion.I never want to feel that again.
What can we as liberals do, though? Nothing. I hate it, but that's how it is. Liberalism in America died last night. The Democratic party as we know it is gone. They will move further and further to the right until we have a choice between the center right and the far right. I can not deal with that. I am ready to give up. Let the fuckers have their country. As of last night, my single goal in life has become that of expatriation. I don't care where, I just want out. Some will accuse me of giving up, but to them I say you can only be unwelcome in your home for so long before you realize it isn't your home after all.
