73. Voted HRC

Dec 2016

I voted for hrc primaries and ge. Donated as much as I could and made hundreds of gotv calls. I was so excited to vote for her a woman. But I was fearful the worst could happen. I believe there was major election fraud but will it be revealed- I doubt it.

I have been ill for several years with serious chronic illness and could not do more. In the past I've always voted democrat and donated and I support whomever the nominee is.

As I watched in disbelief that hitler 2 was rising I realized the worst could happen and became more involved. I'm a descendent of holocaust survivors and I know too well what this means when such a person takes power. I have always lived with the fear something like this could happen and now it has I'm in a state of anxiety and fear. I knew it could from my experiences living here but it's hard to believe it has and in the level it did.

I'm very upset and very disappointed in the country. This is a stain on freedom and what's right. This whole country has gone crazy IMO.

If they dismantle Medicare we will be returning to Canada. Or maybe go to CA if that's protected there. I have dual citizenship since my father would not allow us to apply for U.S. citizenship until Canada allowed dual. I realize now how smart he was to insist on this.

I don't want to leave. This is my home for many years. medical issues will probably necessitate this. I don't want to live in a fascist country though.
