End of the circus

Yesterday, we voted and put an end to the circus called the presidential election.  Half the country is elated at the result and half the country is depressed at the result.  We are a very divided country and I don't think we are actually fixable.  On the one side, the side who elected Trump, are realists and people who believe in enforcing our laws.  This entire election was about illegal immigration and Washington's refusal to enforce our immigration laws.  The refusal of our elected officials to even see that we are drowning in the cost of the illegals is mindboggling.  The liberals tried to shame us into supporting them.  Oh, those poor people, they just want a better way of life.  Well, so do we.  And we would just like to make it from payday to payday without running our of money.  We would like to be able to afford a decent house and a car that at least runs.  We would like to be able to plan and save for college for our own kids.  We can't do that because we are so busy supporting illegals from all over the world that we are broke.  I don't think any of us have a problem with legal immigrants.  It is the illegals that stick in our craw.  And the Democrats just could not wrap their minds around this concept.  They live in their own elite liberal bubble so far removed from the working people that they don't even really know that we still exist.  And the Republicans are in the same boat.  We just don't exist for our elected officials.  Well, we sent the message and the politicians in Washington had better get the message or we will be back in force in two years aiming for congress, senate and in 4 years aiming for the presidency again.  We want our country back.  We pay the bills.  We are the ones having to work two and three part time jobs to pay the bills.  We are the ones who have no choice but to put our kids in public schools where they are neglected so that those who don't speak English can be educated.  We are the ones without medical insurance because the ACA is too expensive for us to afford.  We are the ones who when sick, just tough it out.  There is no money for doctor's visits and medicines.  We are the ones who ignore dental problems.  We are the ones who make do with reading glasses that we can't see out of because we can't afford prescription glasses.  We are the ones who carry the weight of the country on our shoulders and we don't exist for those who are supposed to be representing us.  Well, maybe after this election, we will exist.
