i dont know about any of you, but to me this gives me serious pause about america
i mean yes even being aware of racism and bigotry and misogyny and all that,
you kind of assume we are making progress and moving forward culturally
or that certain things are becoming less acceptable
(im not talking about institutional racism because seriously, i think it would be virtually impossible to address this seeing where we are today)

what this election is showing is just how wrong i was
so instead of assuming that (white)americans are not prejudiced/bigotted/
unless they show themselves to be so,
i should be assuming that they are, unless they show themselves not to be so
it might be a slight shift in attitude, but honestly its significant in reality

so... the election will definitely confirm what proportion - among those who voted - are actually bigots
and what places to avoid moving to.

its really sombering
