    But… Do you want to? I don’t feel like this is a country I want to contribute to anymore. I’m not going to leave (because that’s very impractical) and I’ll still support myself, but the goodwill I had towards my fellow Americans is very much diminished.

    It’s easy for me to say that because I could leave if I needed to. The situation is very different for the people who can’t. Maybe I should have more concern for them than I do right now, but instead I just keep thinking how one upside of Trump winning the popular vote is that whatever happens, most Americans will deserve it.

      I’m right here with you. I have completely lost all faith in my fellow Americans. The facts to repudiate all of Trump’s lies are easily and readily available, and they are willfully ignorant. They deserve the misery Trump plans to bring to them.
