One of the worst things about this election is finding out that good friends that I’ve made who never talk politics are suddenly very pro Trump. I just can’t deal with all this. I am not ok, and I think that’s the correct way to feel right now.
I wish I could feel better than I did last night, but honestly, I’m not. Seeing my 17 year old daughter crying as we drove her to school this morning just broke me.
Awake again and trying to escape the nightmare that just occurred and will continue for the next for years by turning my brain off (hopefully) with a movie I basically know by heart and never slows up: Speed. (In digital 4K, not VHS, I just like the nostalgia)
This man has 34 felonies
This man said that migrants are eating people’s dogs and cats
This man says doctor abort babies after they’re born
This man swayed for almost 40 to his playlist at a rally
This man made fun of disabled people
I could go on and on. This is just sad
@clowchan Unfortunately my Mom is very pro Trump, so I’m not looking forward to talking to her again. If she bring this stuff up Amanda or I will shut it down quickly.
THIS MAN IS A CONVICTED FELON AND INCITED AN INSURRECTION ATTEMPT!!!!
I know I’ve been venting a lot tonight. I just need some sort of outlet. I think I’m gonna try and go mellow out some.
@clowchan I’m honestly sitting here crying. I might be a cis white man, but I’ve already cried tonight. For my daughter, my niece, several friends. How did this happen again?
I’m still trying to absorb what’s happening tonight. I’m terrified for my daughter, niece, LGBTQ+ friends. Everything is going to skyrocket in cost if his disastrous tariff plan goes into effect. He’s going to appoint life time term Supreme Court justices. How do we survive this?
I know this isn’t over yet, but God am I scared. This can’t be happening again. I’m about to start crying. What will my 17 year old daughter’s life be like? How can so much of this country support such a terrible human being?
To keep from having a total breakdown, we have switched off the news and put on the Hallmark+ original reality show “Finding Mr. Christmas”. It super cheesy but it’s actually better than I was afraid it might be.
@angiebulkeley It’s just not the same unless you watched it with others as a youth on a bad VHS transfer. I actually watched it not long ago on Shudder and was surprised how tame and ultimately boring such an infamous movie actually is.
@jetsch71 I first read his Books in Blood in high school as well. Stephen King is my favorite author, and I saw a quote from him praising Barker so I grabbed them and then devoured everything he has ever written!
