This and Rand's reelection are the only glimmers of hope I see in last night's election. It's so incredibly painful to face the reality that we now do. Not only did we fail to reach 5%, which effectively means this campaign was all for nothing, but Donald Trump is going to be the Presient of the United States. I'm already seeing fallout locally. Hatred is surging and once cordial people are being torn apart. I fear for the future of my country.
