I stunned, appalled and scared to death of this upcoming Trump Presidency. The KKK is going to be in the White House as of January 2017. I’m old enough to remember the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

The Healthcare law will be repealed, Civil Rights laws be dismantled. This is the beginning of the end for the USA. Every Black, brown, Jewish, Asian, Muslim, Native Americans, Hindu, Buddhist, all immigrants should be afraid. After all a year from now none of us may be here. My brother Stephen has Autism. There goes all the goods, services and programs for Disabled Americans.

We are going backwards to the 18th and 19th slavery Jim Crow days. My ancestors are weeping. I’m terrified!!

President Trump will keep his promise to Make America White again.

  Yes.
  We know.
  We don’t understand how it could have happened, either.
  I read a quote somewhere by someone who said she was focusing on the vice-president she liked better, because she was sure either presidential candidate would be promptly impeached. What do you think of Mike Pence?
