nansliceI am so devastated and so disgusted with my country right now. And I'm mourning. Again. I feel like I've been mourning for like, ten years now, at this point. I haven't cried very much yet; my mom and I watched the polls and the evening got grimmer and grimmer between us.
I'm trying to remain positive and remain understanding about why this has happened, why Trump has been elected - middle America, rural whites, feeling disenfranchised and ignored for too long - but ultimately I'm just full of hatred for my fellow Americans and I don't really care to change or fix it. I live in the red South so my blatant disgust is is tempered by paranoia. I'm surrounded by people who think Trump is a good idea.
We must continue fighting. We must continue moving forward. I know that. But this was such a disheartening blow. Like, dang. It's going to take some time to really come to terms with this.
President Trump. For fuck's sake.

I...might be saying this in a messy way, but I hope that what I mean is clear even if my words are awkward and bad. there are many people who say to someone in your position, well, then leave. Which is fucking bullshit because a. why uproot someone and b. then how will places change and c. fuck you YOU leave, but. All of that being said. If going to a bluer state would be good for you, and you would be interested in where I am (or anywhere I have friends), I will gladly lend a hand, and contacts, and assistance of whatever kind I may, to help you get a foot in the door and a step up.
You aren't alone. You are loved.
