The Shock of 2016

I was woken at 2.30 am this morning. "He won" my fiance told me. I couldn't believe it. I felt sick.
This isn't the country I thought it was. This is a country of xenophobia and sexism. Where the most qualified candidate in history lost to a man with no experience, who has openly admitted to sexual assault among other offenses.
I don't feel comfortable calling America home anymore. I want out. But while I have a back-up country, my fiance is stuck here. So for now, I am too.
