Re: I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.
I'm in such a state of shock about this. I don't even want to know what happens because it'll break my heart that much more. I'm a Hispanic woman. I have a gay brother. I've lived in a state that's been controlled by the GOP for years, and the ONLY check was the federal government and the Supreme Court.
That's gone now.
The rest of the country will now have to live with that sort of reality for at least two years, and say what you will about Rick Perry and Greg Abbott, they're not THAT fucking crazy. And there is no check, except for some increasingly elderly justices who will soon be outnumbered. I'm trying to go to sleep, and every time I shut my eyes, I remember another loathsome, terrible thing about him and another part of the country that I hold dear that will probably be gone within the first year of his presidency.
The only (very cold) comfort that I have is that I can't imagine that many in his party are clinging to him, and maybe one of the numerous, numerous scandals will finally attach on him and impeachment will start before too long. But I doubt it. He could be snorting coke off the corpse of a dead baby and those fuckers would still protect him. He's their fucking god now.
Fuck.
