Horror

I’m in shock, in disbelief still. 

That’s probably just because I’m naïvely optimistic, to a fault. 

The brief moments when reality sinks in, I feel devastated.

Fear and fury. That’s what I — and many of us — are feeling now. Which is not a healthy or “normal” way to feel in a democracy. If the “other side” wins in a democracy, we shouldn’t feel devastated or afraid or furious. And yet, we do now. And rightly so.
