He's Not Going to Help you

We were asleep.  Not all of us, of course.  Many, like my friend, Shifra Bronznick, co-chair of Executive Women for Hillary/Her knew what was at stake and were in heavy action to elect a qualified leader.  I didn't take him seriously.  Looked at too much Facebook reflecting my own opinion back to me? Watched too many comedians making fun of him and believing everyone saw the same thing I did?  Only talked to people who agreed with me?  I didn't think I was taking my freedom for granted, but I was.  Before the election, I went to visit my dad at his assisted living in Atlanta.  Around 9pm, the nurse came in to give him his evening medications. An African- American woman, the nurse told me how she'd had to leave her home and move to Atlanta because gangs targeted her growing son.  She was angry about being forced from her home to give her children a chance.  She supported Trump.  I asked her why.  She said it wasn't right that she had to work so hard and leave her home because of people who were on the dole.  It was a wrenching story.  "You are right to be angry about that," I said, "but Trump is not going to help you." My parents had to leave their home because of persecution, but I've never had to leave my mine.  This woman had to leave because of persecution, too.  I wonder how she feels about her vote now?
