I've been seriously thinking of moving back to Canada. Or fleeing further.... like Thailand.
On the other hand... go see the movie "Ray", about the life of Ray Charles. It puts things in perspective a little bit... on the bright side, 40 years ago black men in the south were called "boy" and unless you were a white male you were utterly screwed in American society. So things are better than they were.
On the down side, the assholes who brought us 100 years of misogyny and racism are now in charge of the Republican party.
But I walked out of "Ray" thinking that no matter how shitty it is at the moment, they're fighting against the tide of history, and in four years we'll take it all back.
