Eight years ago, millions of black American youth woke up the day after the Presidential election and said, ‘Wow! Some day even I can become President’.

Last night, millions of American girls went to bed thinking, ‘Wonderful. It sure looks like some day even I can become President’.

This morning millions of American youth are waking up and thinking, ‘Holy cow! I can be a bigot, a bully, a racist, a xenophobe, a misogynist, a Fascist, a serial liar and an imbecile and even I can become President of the United States of America‘.

It’s called the American Dream, the ethos that you can become anyone in America through hard work and perseverance. I can only hope that when Americans wake up today to what the rest of the world considers a nightmare, that they will somehow find the wisdom to embrace their foes and provide America’s youth with some new and inspiring role models.
