“When she woke up on November 9 and saw Trump had won, Jessica Zeigler recalled, she felt sick to her stomach. Zeigler, a 32-year-old mother of three who works for a medical-device company, couldn’t bring herself to tell her 7-year-old son who had won when he asked. After some weeks of feeling lost, she discovered a secret liberal moms’ group on Facebook—her first foray into activism, and an emboldening hint that she was not alone.”
Holy crap this lady is so pathetic. She’s got mental issues in not being able to tell your child about an election result.
This author has a lot of chutzbah mentioning about secret liberal moms’ groups on Facebook. If anything liberal groups are the biggest open secret on that site.

There are many variants of this. Such as the 70-year-old from Marin whose grown daughters and their friends called on election night, distraught and in tears.
I said:”That’s stupid.”
She said:”It’s not stupid. These are privileged girls who have done a lot of community service.”
I left the room.
She was the only liberal in the room. We’ve all known each other 40+ years, some for fifty or sixty. Her husband is conservative, but he was gone fishing.(lucky guy). The daughters are all adults approaching 40. During the zer0 years, she was all unicorns and rainbows while her husband’s business was taking it in the gut.
To encourage your adult daughter to cry on the phone over an election loss and then to defend it by citing noblesse oblige is also beyond pathetic and indicative of serious mental issues, IMO.
This happened Father’s Day and I’m still irritated.
