We have no words.

Words do not feel adequate to express the deep sadness, disappointment, and terror we feel in light of the election results. 

Words do not feel adequate to express the horror we feel at living in a country that would willfully and by a large margin elect a figure who embodies and will support the institutional racism, sexism, and homophobia that have persistently existed in this nation since its inception. Words do not feel adequate to express how disappointed we are in ourselves/the bourgeoisie/white people for creating the political environment in which so many voters felt that this choice was an appropriate response to their situation or a way to create change. 

Words do not feel adequate to express how uncertain we are of where we will go from here.
