The moms are not OK.To be more specific, the liberal moms are not OK.Here’s a sampling of social-media posts I’ve seen since the re-election of President Donald Trump.“My six-year-old son kept hugging me this morning and saying ‘don’t worry mama, I won’t let him hurt you.’ ”“I told my 3yo to never have kids… I’ve been sobbing since I woke up.”“I scared my poor 1-year-old son because I was crying so hard.”“My 10-year-old broke down crying this morning saying ‘mommy now we’re going to die I’m worried.’ [I told her] to unite with all the kids that wanted Harris to win.” On X, liberal commentator Wajahat Ali posted, “My 8-year-old girl just asked me, ‘Baba, do we have to move?
