So shocked. I feel a little numb. I feel like I did after Hillary lost. I feel unsettled regarding the election. Logically - I feel it’s over. My pendulum still tells me she takes the office in January. I don’t understand. Big learning lessons the next few weeks. Just wow.
All democrats are feeling the same way. I was not as shocked with Hillary's loss because I could see that a strong woman was a serious threat back then, and that the United States was not ready for a female President. I did have that GUT PUNCH feeling about losing Roe v Wade though. That awareness is still unbelievable to me. I am however surprised that the women of America want to stay embraced in the past. Perhaps I am too progressive, perhaps I expect more from people than they are willing to give. Like you, I feel there is more coming up. I will continue to fight for women's' freedoms as I was caught in loss back when I was young. All of the money I made when I was a kid went to my mom because I could not have a bank account. My brother had one at age 16, but I could not get one until I turned 21. I left home and married right out of high school and my husband received all of my earned income from then until I turned 21 and divorced him. Then I had, my own income, my own freedom and my own life. My second husband was more open minded. I just don't understand why people in this country don't want to support it's women. I don't get it. I'll keep on fighting though.
