I can't close my eyes and make them go away"
U2's opening lines from Sunday Bloody Sunday describes how I have been feeling since a minority of voters elevated a racist, sexist, xenophobic bigot to the highest office in the land. Knowing that there were more people voting for his opponents than him, and knowing that there was one candidate who received a significantly larger number of votes, I have to concur with David Bowie for a second day in a row, as this really is not the America I thought it was. He says it more succinctly on the soundtrack from The Falcon and the Snowman from 1985. He has the full backing of the Pat Metheny Group when he sings This Is Not America.
