To everyone telling us to calm down, that the election is won and done, please, if you know something we don’t, EXPLAIN how everything is going to be all right.
Explain how Trump is qualified for the job.
Explain how he’s not a criminal.
That he didn’t defraud young people looking for an education.
That he didn’t sexually assault people.

Trump worries me.
Pence terrifies me.
