(146,331 posts)27. It is a bad, bad time.
As a philosophical Socialist, there is much that I mourn, but the election of Donald Trump is impossible to bear. Why that happened will forever weigh on my soul.

I posted it before, several times, to no avail. I hope people learn from their mistakes. That's all I can hope for, really.
