Yeah I'm fresh out of compassion for these assholes. May the next four years be a living hell for them, or even full on pull whatever lifeline they're clinging to out from under them. If it culls a bit of evil from the voting population, that's best case scenario at this point. They voted to light the country on fire, let them burn.
I feel a helpless fury that has nowhere to go and nothing to be but pointless; I cast my vote for Kamala, hoping others would see that she would be the one to reduce harm, but not move us forward yet. It would take time to build support for a candidate who would in fact usher in positive change, Kamala is just a bandage on a leaking pipe. These upcoming four years are going to be hell, as a chronically ill person...I don't know if I will even be able to endure this orange asshole's reign of incoherent madness. He's got a proper rogue's gallery of filth leading the charge to destroy this nation. I'd prefer if they were a powder keg that ended up destroying themselves in the process. If I somehow make it through and find there's another election...I'll hopefully be able to vote to reduce harm, and it actually works. 😮💨
The majority of voters voted to kill you. Fury is exactly what you should be feeling.
True, my fury is justified, but I want to put this fury to work; Somehow, get pieces in motion to stage a moment that will cause change. There are people who are trying to prepare and weather this storm we've got going. It's a matter of being strong enough to assist and resist becoming another casualty in a long line of many who were destroyed by the callous choices of those obscenely rich.
It's exhaustion here. Pure exhaustion.
