If I were a religious woman I might say that the result of the U.S. presidential election is a sign of the upcoming Apocalypse. But I&#8217;m not religious so I will have to try to make sense of it right along with minds far brighter than my own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">American voters wanted change. They got it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">American voters are angry. They&#8217;ve spoken that anger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">American voters are fearful. They&#8217;ve elected a bully to make them feel safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The last time I felt this wretched about events in the U.S. was on 9\/11. The time before that was at the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Even at the age of 13, I was interested in what went on in the world. When the announcement was made that the U.S. President had been killed I burst into tears and ran into the washroom. A slightly older girl mocked my tears and said, \u201cOh, for God&#8217;s sake, he&#8217;s not even one of ours. Quit crying. Don&#8217;t be stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some people may well think the same thing now: \u201cTrump is not our problem&#8230;so stop whining about it.\u201d Except that he is our problem \u2013 and the rest of the world&#8217;s problem \u2013 given how truly tiny this global village of ours has become.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some are saying that liberal elites were just too arrogant to take Trump seriously. Well, the elites have been stunned into unbelieving silence now. Hillary Clinton was seen by many to personify the American political establishment. Her defeat is the American version of Brexit. The Brits, in a self-defeating move to leave the European Union last June, made it at least plausible that the same anti-elite, anti-globalization, anti-establishment rhetoric could carry Trump to the White House and it did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bernie Sanders understood the frustrations of those living precariously from paycheque to paycheque and while I believe Hillary Clinton did too, she was unable to convey it. Interestingly, many former Sanders supporters switched their vote to Trump instead of Clinton. While I was initially a huge fan of Bernie, the unseemly fervour of his fan base scared me; it is no real surprise that extremists at both ends of the spectrum often have more in common than one might think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The U.S. may have elected a black president but racism did not die with his election. Likewise, sexism is still thriving nicely on both sides of the border. Maybe it was just too much to have a woman \u2013 especially a woman who was demonstrably the most qualified person ever to run for the top office \u2013 follow the first black man?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I have been trying to put myself inside the heads of both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton today. How must they feel to have their experience, integrity, intelligence essentially rejected by a populace they have served for decades in favour of a person so eminently unfit for the job? They are strong beyond words and they&#8217;ll be just fine but I&#8217;ll bet they&#8217;d like to take a break and sit in a nice dark closet for a few hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Trump is going to wield far more power than President Obama did thanks to the hostile Congress Obama faced every day. Trump has no political experience beyond this ugly, divisive campaign. The past 18 months have shown him to be impetuous, mean-spirited, petulant, xenophobic and the list goes on. How will he handle that power? Some months back, a Republican who did not support Trump told Americans not to worry. That if Trump did miraculously win, \u201cthe grownups will take over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Maybe. But until very recently, the people around him were unable to persuade him to control his baser instincts until in the final days when someone took his Twitter account away from him. I hope that those checks and balances meant to keep the top dog from running amok are strong enough to rein in someone as volatile and rabid as Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I know that this initial shock and horror will fade. I know the sun will continue to rise and set. But on a personal note, I am done with the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Normally, we&#8217;d be soaking up the sunshine in our southern home by now, biking and kayaking and visiting the wonderful parks. Due to my mom&#8217;s health, a wish to have Christmas at home and a desire to miss the worst of the Trump nonsense, we aren&#8217;t leaving until the new year. I think I&#8217;ll have a fight on my hands from my hubby but my intent is to go south as planned, pack up our stuff, sell our villa and head home. There are lots of places in the world with winter sunshine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I already know that my level-headed husband will want to give me time to calm down&#8230; but I&#8217;m not riled up; I&#8217;m sad and disappointed and disgusted. He&#8217;ll ask, \u201cIn the big scheme of things, how is a Trump win going to change our nice Canadian lives one bit?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My husband is an adult and he gets to make his own choice. But I cannot continue to go to a place now proven to be filled with people who are broken, frightened and angry \u2013 and armed! &#8211; and who are now freed by this Trump win from any normal constraints of decency. We got a taste of it during the election and I cannot bear bumping up against that kind of energy every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Approximately 56 million Americans voted for Hillary Clinton and 57 million voted for Trump. There are 56 million stunned and brokenhearted citizens who are experiencing the shock of seeing that they live in a country that supports hatred of women and people of colour, sexual assault, imaginary facts, xenophobia? The people who voted for Trump deserve what he gives them (or likely won&#8217;t give them) but the others don&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">America \u2013 I know you won&#8217;t even notice \u2013 but it is over between us. And it isn&#8217;t me. It&#8217;s you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Cartoon credit &#8211; someecards<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-20998\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-28-at-3.42.59-PM-282x300.png\" alt=\"Dale Peacock\" width=\"282\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-28-at-3.42.59-PM-282x300.png 282w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Screen-Shot-2016-09-28-at-3.42.59-PM.png 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/>Following a career in the hospitality sector and the acquisition of a law and justice degree in her 50s, Dale embarked on a writing career armed with the fanciful idea that a living could be made as a freelancer.
