As he was getting ready to leave for work for the first time after the election, he commented about the people he worked with who were Trump fans, sarcastically saying, "I hope they're happy now that they got what they wanted." I replied, "Me, too. The only problem is, we're all getting it!"

I was gutted about Hillary losing, but I couldn't even begin to imagine what was in store for those next 4 years, much less that things would be even worse all these years later!
