(no subject)

I'm having a hard time not breaking down tonight. I distracted myself for much of the day. I cooked an elaborate, excellent meal. Now I'm just drinking wine and living with the terror of this night. I'm genuinely fearful about what this means for the progress of this country, for the safety of my friends and neighbors.

Half the country thinks a xenophobic, sexist bigot with no experience is a better choice than a woman who has spent her life in public service. Gods above and below.
