Menage à Trois Bingo

Yesterday was gray, dull and rainy, but I was excited and hopeful. Today is bright, clear and sunny, and I am terrified, heartbroken and angry, feeling betrayed by my fellow citizens. How could so many people support hatred and bigotry?

And yet. I'm surrounded by them every day at work. "Nice" folks...who make misogynistic and racist jokes, who gloat over civil rights failures. I don't usually play music while working because it's too much of a distraction and because I can't hear people come up behind me, but today I am filling my ears with my Flogging Molly Pandora station so I don't have to hear the victorious gloating of the Trump supporters around me.

I was so looking forward to my daughter coming of age in a country with a woman president. Where her half-Mexican queer ace self would be embraced and welcome, with full civil rights, and instead we've got a place where I will be terrified that she will be harassed at best, and may be deprived of her citizenship and deported.
