Letter: Donald Trump presidency breaks heart, gives way to tremendous fear

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

A man still wouldn’t write something like this

I love that one. I’ve watched it about 20 times. Sean Hannity uses the audio in his radio show.

What a drama queen!

This is the culmination of 60+ years of the liberal war on reason, sanity, morality, Christianity, tradition, manhood and family. This quivering, pathetic paranoid wuss. I despise liberals.

[Figment]

Sounds like he’s saying he is though, a gay citizen. So sorry drama queen

I am scared for my future, and I am terrified for the future of this country.

OK, well, I'm going to need you to drop dead of fright right there where you're cowering.

There is no sense prolonging your misery a moment longer, Jeff.

Look out Trump is right behind you!!!!   Ha ha!   Made you look!

[Sgt_Schultze]

Wow, wow wow. Jeff is a tender, whiny little thing. But he's really upset. I found another copy of this same letter sent to a different paper. He's even more of a drama queen in this one.

It would seem that as time progresses men become more and more neutered. Thank G-d there will always be real men who don't eat quiche but they seem to be a dying breed...

[Organic Panic]

The lamentations of their pajamaboys.

I just read a story about Desmond Doss..

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

GROW UP, LOSER!!!

[ConservaTeen]

Mr. Jeff Bowen is a moron. This is why you need to have only smart people to vote. He calls Donald Trump a womanizer, but I guess he doesn’t think Hillary was helping protect her own womanizer. Hey, Jeff, grow up and be an adult, what were you doing during the campaign watch Spongebob?

[headsonpikes]

JEFF????? JEFF??????

Your name is Jeff????

Good Lord! Here’s me thinking menopausal cat-lady!

You write “I am thankful that I am not a gay undocumented minority.”

I wouldn’t be so sure about that if I were you...

[M Kehoe]

Dear Jeff Bowen:

I really really enjoyed your letter.

Bless your little heart.

Methinks you and your girlfriend should start seeing other men.

I have tears in my eyes because I’m laughing so hard. I wish I lived near this little snowflake so I could taunt him and make him cry even harder.

This creature makes Obama’s pajama boy seem like Chuck Norris.
