We understand now. We understand now he will have almost unfettered power. I stress not about myself actuassociate. I don’t stress about my station in life. I stress about the toiling class.

I stress about my children’s future, especiassociate my daughter who has less rights than I had.”

We should protest if the situation occurs that we need to protest, which I’m declareive it will. I’ve been there this before with Nixon. We have a country and we can grasp it.”
Navarro inserted, “I have no laments. I toiled challenging as hell to elect the first Bconciseage, Asian woman plivent. History slipped thraw our fingers aget. I toiled challenging as hell for Donald Trump not to be plivent. But today, unenjoy Donald Trump and his folshrinks, I acunderstandledge that he won. I hope for the best for our country. I create a pledgement to our LGBTW, to our immigrants, to our elderly, lesser girls, women, we will not stop battling. We can be downcast today. Today we can be downcast. Tomorrow we stand up and persist.”
