I already fall in the "work until I die" category. Unless I leave the country (which I am loath to do because my sister has Parkinson's and will need help as she progresses in her disease), I'm stuck with these assholes holding the fate of my wife and I in their wretched hands.

My only solace is knowing that many Trump voters are in the same boat.
