hantsbearI am at a loss. I just don't get it. And I certainly want 2016 to be over. What has happened to the UK and the US? I certainly don't understand my own country any more and as for trying to understand our larger neighbour to the west, which I thought I was starting to...
The Trump talks of reconcilliation, whilst appointing a whole stream of right wing nutjobs into seemingly powerful positions, and pouting and posturing when someone has the audacity to call his running mate on his ultra white christian, gay hating beliefs. I thought it was done with love and respect but the perma-tanned ferret thinks otherwise.
I hear conflicting stories as to what the new administration can/can't to to the hard fought LGBT* rights brought in by President Obama. Could the USA even go as far as some Middle Eastern countries and introduce a gay test at the borders? Yes, it sounds ridiculous but frankly, I wouldn't put it past someone like Mike Pence.
I just don't know what to think any more.
