Within twenty-four hours of the rally, the cheers, the excitement, the H-I-S-T-O-R-Y sign all felt like a cruel dream. As the results came in on the night of November 8, it slowly became clear that Donald Trump would win the Electoral College. Trump had run the most divisive campaign in modern American politics. He had staked his candidacy on bluster and bigotry, on fear and discrimination, and our electoral system had rewarded him with the most significant honor society can bestow on a person: the presidency of the United States.
I still cant believe this happened twice.
