Just read your poem Waking up in A Trump America. Funny thing, I felt the same way in 2008 and 2012. Grow up, snowflake. For 8 years there was a president who expressed his contempt for conservatives and Christians repeatedly. I never heard you voice concern. So did you care?
Jan Steckel
Honestly, Cyndy, I don't think "Grow up, snowflake" merits any kind of answer. However, if you recognized a feeling when you read my poem, then the poem has done its job.

Awake at 4am with the same leaden weight that's been pulling at my heart since November 9. Your poem Waking in Trump's America set something free- the grief, the outrage, the fury. It is helping to hold my torch this morning and I thank you. I wonder if you might start a site around the poem in which others share ways they have helped to hold the torch or been helped? It would be a beacon of hope in such darkness.
