From rockync at The Swash Zone:
Welcome to the new normal.
Desperate people threw away their moral integrity, if they ever had any, and their sense of decency to vote for a PT Barnumesque shyster filled with empty promises and plenty of hateful rhetoric. He managed to degrade women (and still 57% of women voters voted for him), threaten Muslims (many of whom are peaceful and legitimate citizens of the once United States), persons of color (also many who are full citizens of this country), persons with disabilities and the marginalized group known collectively as the LBGT community (and also most of all who are citizens of the once United States).
Many women of the Muslim faith are afraid to wear their hijabs in public even though their religious beliefs compel them to do so (that’s the scarf they wear around their head).
