I had been feeling scared about the American elections for months. I was hoping it would turn out ok! But I feared it wouldn’t.
I remembered the 2016 elections, when I had more hope. I woke up, as usual, with Radio 4, so as soon as I awoke I heard the news. And my heart sank.
This time I had less hope. So when I again woke up to the news, and heard it looked like Trump was winning, I was still sad but less shocked.
What will this mean for America? And for Ukraine? And Gaza? And the rest of the world? We will have to see. I fear a lot of people will die directly because of Trump’s decisions. But he was fairly and squarely elected.
You can tell I’m felling numb and fatalistic. But this too shall pass. We will need to hope for better things happening in four years’ time!
