Letter: Donald Trump presidency breaks heart, gives way to tremendous fear
The Tribune ^ | November 26, 2016 | Jeff Bowen

Posted on 11/26/2016 7:11:20 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

I still can’t believe the outcome of Nov. 8’s presidential election. I’m numb, shaken, lost and extremely scared.

I’m heartbroken. I was looking forward to the chance to see the first woman president of the United States. I cried, and continue to cry, when I heard on the radio that people were covering Susan B. Anthony’s grave stone with “I Voted” stickers. I am crying now, still, at the message this invokes: “You were the first to suggest that women be given equal rights, voting rights and not be thought of as second-class citizens. We tried to elect a woman to the presidency to make you proud, but we failed. We are sorry.”

Never did I think that we would be saddled with such a misogynistic, narcissistic, homophobic, mean-spirited, hate-filled, ignorant, fascist, racist demagogue as Donald Trump!

I am scared for my future, and I am terrified for the future of this country. The mere idea that this man will soon have the nuclear codes for the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world turns my insides to ice water.

I am scared. But … I am thankful that I am not a gay undocumented minority.

I think my heart would stop.

Jeff Bowen, Santa Maria

I get that illegals should worry, but Trump seems to be okay with the most common sexual deviants.

It gives me great pleasure that we are not “progressing” toward more communism. It sistresses me that I am surrounded by so many that are committed to evil.

He sure would have been a lot of use next to my father in the foxholes of Okinawa.

Yes, but with Castro dead, they can move to Cuba now.

If deranged Leftists knew that Susan B. Anthony was anti-abortion, they'd lose their sentimentality over her gravestone.

In fact they'd probably trash her grave, if they knew this fact.

I think the proper description for Jeff Bowen would be “Hosehead”

If Hitlery hadn’t got the DNC to rig the nomination process for her, it’s entirely possible that we could be inaugurating the first Jewish (well, JINO) president in history come next January 20th.

Say what you will, but I honestly think that Sanders could have beaten Trump, just because he would have kept his supporters as well as picking up most of the Democratic lemmings who still voted for Her Heinous.

I would tell Mr. Snowflake to have himself a nice cup of chamomile tea and curl up with his husband next to a warm fire.

I cannot even imagine anyone of my late father’s generation writing this. Even a gay individual.

Hey snowflake, if seeing the “first woman president” is more important to you than the country, you’re dumber than a box of rocks. Why don’t you go to the zoo and watch some penguins.
