What was the impact of being around other people after the election? I feel a lot of comfort for things like this. I have kind of an immediate desire to find this kind of support right after. I mean when I went to work the next day everyone was in like a walking coma. Finding a way to contribute and be with like-minded people who are unhappy about the outcome was very comforting. What do you hope to achieve out of this rally and other ones? I want to find productive ways in which to impact change for the better and prevent the horrible things that I fear Trump will try to implement. Either the names of organizations I can participate with, connections to particular groups that are working against Trump. On the one hand it’s kind of an exciting time to see so many protests. Never in my life has an American president elect and president, (other than Nixon who was impeached, forced to resign) it’s kind of an interesting, exciting phenomenon. So slight silver lining. I have to say you guys are young but I felt almost the way I felt on 9/11, after the election. What universe did I just wake up in? What world has now exposed itself? Very frightening. |
