Exactly how I feel. I did what I could. I voted, I encouraged others to vote, I informed myself and others of the issues. I voted to help those in need and to bolster protections for those in need - even at my own expense. Then over half the country voted against their own interests. Ironically, financially the policies I expect to be put in place will probably help me, but I worry for our country. But what else am I supposed to do now? People who voted for this or didn't vote (and in my mind that's just a lazier way of voting for what happened), well, I wish them luck if they needed those programs. I feel for everyone who voted for them and are looking at having them taken away.
