I cried today for America.
Living here, I always thought what a great country she was.
Inspired by her ideals of liberty and justice for all, I loved this country.
Today, I saw a side of America that is truly ugly. Today I saw racism and misogyny and greed win out over liberty and justice.
Today I watched as the voices of millions of Americans were drowned out by the voices of hate and division.
America, you are not the lady I thought you were. I cried today for your lost honor and I cry for my lost country.
Tomorrow, I will pick myself up and continue to fight for my country. I don't expect the people who voted for hate to learn from their mistakes. Because I believe in God, I do believe this horrible mistake, the election of a fraud and a liar and a tyrant, will be corrected and we shall overcome.
Those who dance today shall fall tomorrow.
It is foolish to expect people to stand by like sheep while their civil rights are systematically stripped away. It is foolish to assume that this affects others and not you.
It is foolish to expect people to allow themselves to be ruled by a fraudulent election. This has been a coup d'etat. It is foolish not to expect revolt.
It is foolish to dance when others shed tears.
It is wrong to destroy private or public property. And so too it is wrong to cheat people out of their votes and their rights to self-governance. This is what happens when Americans lose faith in the system. Today, I cringe when I think of the despicable people and the underhanded means used to rob us of our government. This will not end well. To think it can is foolishness.
