“Group Hug for the Post-Election Sick & Devastated” this Saturday at Jefferson Park

Monica and Alexandra are inviting everyone to a city-wide “Group Hug for the Post-Election Sick & Devastated!” this Saturday, November 12, at 5:00 PM at Jefferson Park:
Giant group hug for those of us who are devastated and horrified by the orange that is about to take the White House. Come commiserate and/or encourage your like-minded fellow Richmonders in the wake of this bizarre and upsetting moment in American history!
I will be there!
Thank you. I need this so badly.
Yet another reason I love Churchill…

Thank you.
Just to keep things in perspective, Clinton only won the popular vote by 395,000…the size of a single medium size city. Not by 20 million or something that says there was an upset, majority, or even a landslide for her. There was a disconnect mainly with the white population, blue collar workers. Trump is going to be in office and nothing will change that so, now we need to regroup and work with it.
BTW… I have seen some people spell Church Hill as one word like a name such as Winston Churchill. It is a hill with a church on it so is Church Hill 🙂
I look forward to this event in spite of possible threats, intimidation, and mockery by others. To paraphrase a statement that I read from an article a few days ago, America without its make-up isn’t very pretty.
No excuse other than no excuse for missing this. I hope it was a positive turn out.
Liz…where were those comments made on the facebook link you shared?
Eric, not sure where you got that 395,000 number but as of Saturday she was up by 1.7 percentage points nationwide (which is a little less than 2 million votes). That number is likely to grow as there are millions of uncounted votes in California. That margin is larger than Kennedy in 1960 and Nixon in 1968 and they both won.
