Nobody said the tough times would end after just four years. I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. The night has just begun, and it's time for the lantern bearers to find their lights.

I'm American. They can't have my country without a fight. I'll fight every ounce of their cruelty with kindness, and displace their xenophobia and racism with acceptance and support.

There are millions of us.

Agreed. Also, we all have to keep in mind the election only showed us what roughly 42% of Americans think (based on 142,687,398 votes, out of US population of 337,382,131). That means there's still plenty people who have yet to join the fight. There's always hope!

Damn straight. That's the same thing I tell people when I was asked if I was going to try to leave the US.

I may be disabled, but I swore to defend the Constitution from foreign and domestic threats. It's not just the racist and homophobic people who have firearms. When the time comes, the quiet people will show up to help.

The quiet people peck, scratch, and bite when they need to protect the people they care about. And Mr. Roger's taught my generation to care about everyone.
