Since the travesty of the 2016 electoral season, my closest friends and I have been framing much of the conversation around current politics with 'How are we going to explain this to our children?'

My god daughter turned five in October. The world that I work towards creating has her in it, and my own children of some form or another.

I still don't think that I have anything like a reasonable way to describe the events of the last several years. Stating the facts outright sounds like the most shitty SNL bit imaginable.
