our country hates women too much for that to happen.

I say this as a woman who was hopeful both times our candidate was a woman.

Turns out, misogyny and racism are the two biggest "American Values".

I've lost hope for our country. Well, is it even "ours" anymore or does it belong entirely to the ultra wealthy?

Give me a few days and I'll probably find some hope again, but this is where I am now.
