As someone who doesn't currently live in the US, but spent long periods there in the 80's & 90's, it's been unbelievable to view what's been going on. Just the amount of TV coverage down here in little old NZ gave the indication that this election was going to be different. (All 3 debates were broadcast live here on free-to-air and the media commentary has been non-stop).

I watched the results come through with a feeling of sadness for all of you here on NT who live there. I'm hoping that whatever changes this new government brings into action that your individual lives are not negatively impacted - particularly in the area of access to healthcare.

You're in my thoughts and I hope for all of America's sake that sanity prevails and things calm down soon.
