I’m really trying not to talk about politics. I haven’t wanted to talk about politics for months now, but I’ve had to put my foot down even with my nearest & dearest.
However, this needs sharing. It conveys my fears & worries, but with grace & delicacy.
Now, no more political talk from me for a bit. I need to get my bearings in this new world.
You did this.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully forced this country to take a giant step backward.
You’ve handed one of the most powerful countries in the world over to a man with 0 political experience.

I’m glad I could share this with you. If you haven’t already, if I may, I would recommend going to the original post & telling Rae – the author – how much it meant to you. She deserves all the credit. 🙂
