Hours before Trump's first State of the Union, let's remember how we got here!
In her concession speech, popular vote winner secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton apologized. She said sorry. And her apology broke my heart. As a woman who once contemplated a career in politics, I experimented firsthand the deeply rooted yet widely denied sexism and bigotry in politics. Former colleagues and former fellow activists are definitely rolling their eyes now, shocked by my misrepresentation of the truth. Nothing is going to convince them of their sexism and bigotry. Why, you would ask. Because what is internationally defined as sexism and bigotry is how they understand respect.
Anyhow, feminism isn’t why I wanted Hillary to win. I know she’s not a widely loved figure, she’s definitely not the most charismatic candidate in the world, but she is a politician. And presidential elections aren’t about how much the candidate can physically “impress” a bunch of fat rich old white men, presidential elections about the beauty of the soul, presidential elections aren’t about the tight relationship between red roses and world peace! Presidential elections are about politics and policies. Presidential elections were about politics and policies until they became about anything and everything they shouldn’t be about. And the bunch of idiots who transformed what was once a healthy battle of ideas into the opportunity for a seventy-year-old toddler to prove he is entitled to the presidency are the ones who should apologize.
Yes, she is, had been, and will always be the wicked witch of the West Wing, and she isn’t the one who should apologize!
The media should apologize for giving him air time, for treating him as porcelain, for lowering the bar, for forgetting about his scandals, for looking the emails side every time they should have been looking the Trump Tower side, for giving him thousands of passes, for giving him a free platform, for respecting him, for not pressing him enough on the tax returns, for not asking enough detailed questions about his policies, for not digging enough into potential conflicts of interest, for playing his game every single time
Mika Brzezinski should apologize for flirting with Joe at the expense of the Democratic party,
Joe Scarborough should apologize for flirting with the vice presidency at the expense of the world and for only attacking Trump when the latter called Mika crazy,
The women (Susan Sarandon) who claimed to not vote with their vaginas should apologize for reducing all that Hillary Clinton is to a simple battle of the sexes,

Bill Clinton should apologize,
The whole world should apologize, and before we do, we should feel ashamed of ourselves, ashamed that in this day and age a painfully uninformed clown defeated a human being who should have been president because somehow, electors and people with an opinion thought it would be smartest to think of an idiot as better, because others will think of us as smarter beings, men and women able to understand a complicated mind, a mind that finally proved to be occupied by two things, one being screwing his own daughter.
I wish I could be as adamant as Kate McKinnon and look the world in the eye and say that I won’t give up! We shouldn’t give up, we should resist, and we should hope, as Seth Meyers, to live and see the inauguration of the woman who will break the ultimate glass ceiling!
