It still doesn't feel real. I never thought in a million years that we'd be staring into this abyss, not really.
I can't quite coalesce my thoughts into coherence; it's been such a long, sad day.
The concession speech was so beautiful and moving and painful. In my office of three women, we were each watching it on our own laptop with earbuds, so it was kind of a silent communal experience. I want to watch it again but don't know when I'll be able to handle it.
I canvassed and phone banked for the first time ever this election (in VA where it would do some good).
Something broke in our country today.
There's going to be a Trump Library. I don't know why I keep coming back to that.

I honestly don't think Trump can read very well. Samantha Bee did a segment about planting rumours, pointing at all the evidence that Trump can't read. But I'm dead serious, I think he can only handle simple prose, and barely that. I'm a cognitive and clinical psychologist, and there are a lot of people like that in our country. Aside from his obvious personality disorder, I'd bet money that he has some kind of cognitive deficit -- ADHD, Early stages of dementia? Something -- It's pretty obvious from watching him.
