The Trump horror reading list

In the aftermath of Trump’s shocking victory, I dove into a bunch of articles/podcasts/videos trying to understand what happened. These were some of the best.

Those first shocked moments:

• The audacity of hopelessness – Roxane Gay

• An American tragedy – David Remnick

• This is how much America hates women – Anne Helen Petersen

• Hillary Clinton’s grace is yours – Kelly Stout

• How America failed women – Jill Filipovic

• Never underestimate how much America hates women – Nona Willis Aronowitz

• Her loss – Lindy West

• Black women do the most for liberal America, and we get the least back – Morgan Jerkins

• Trump’s Stunning Win

• Feeling Bad

Talking to kids…

• My daughter grew up believing she could do anything

• The day after the election, I told my daughter the truth

• Here’s what I’m telling my brown son about Trump’s America

Why?...why?...how?

• Unsurprising that Rebecca Traister wrote the best piece: “Shattered” 

• Don’t cry for Ivanka – fear her. (& the Ivanka voter)

Planning what’s next:

• Ask Polly: How do I feel hope on a day like this? 

• Autocracy: rules for survival

• Don’t agonise, organise

• Taffy’s plan

And some things for comfort:

• Tracy Clayton is spot on

• Colbert signing off
