Steve,
For what it's worth (which ain't all that much), I forgive you. Just as I've forgiven the guy who split my chin in a bar for "sitting with that bunch of **** so I guess that makes you one too".
I've been where you were mentally last night, looking sideways at every person in my life wondering if they helped reduce me to subhuman status with their vote. It's a horrible soul-destroying place.
While I find the way you chose to express your anger hurtful, I believe you when you say you are sorry for the words you chose, and not just because other have rightfully called you out on it. I do not condemn you, nor will I nurse a grudge.
Just try harder not to hurt others because you are hurt or angry. Rather, use that anger to make a change for the better. You know how. You've already begun to figure it out.
My best to you in these trying times,
Sam
