Man, what an election. I almost cried, too. I wasn't expecting to be so affected, but OMG, I feel like my whole family is being represented by the president now, rather than just the white, fundamentalist Christian family members who make dinner conversations awkward. And how cool is this--any kids born in this country today and after are never going to have lived in an America* where the only people who have ever been elected President are/were white men. *is weak in the knees now*
*Obviously I mean USA specifically, but "an America" sounds more poetic :P
