Not even sorry for all these reblogs.
I’ve spent the past 5 or 6 hours in tears, shaking, breaking down in panic attacks. I have a literal pain in my chest from hyperventilating so fast and so hard, I thought I was going to pass out.
I’m terrified for my family, and everyone else’s families. I’m terrified for all my poc friends and followers, all my lgbtq+ friends and followers.
I watched the coverage on youtube and one of the commentators had the GALL to fucking talk about how, no matter the outcome, “[you] can’t be upset, you can’t feel too bad about all of this. This is American democracy at its best. There were so many people who voted this year, so many people who turned out.”
Fuck you. That means VERY FUCKING LITTLE. The turn out was MASSIVE this year because a racist, sexist, xenophobic, misogynistic, hate-mongering oompa loompa ran for office. All those who shared his same mindset came out of the fucking woodwork to make sure he was elected into office, so all of their disgusting ideals could be justified and validated. Donald Trump gives them the fucking PERMISSION they need to be complete douchecanoes.
And even more people turned out because they were TERRIFIED of what his presidential election could mean for them, for their families, for their friends, and their communities. They -- WE -- turned out to try to fight against a nation that was already stacked against us for whatever reason, be it a disability, our skin colours, our genders.
I don’t give a FUCK if this was “democracy at its best.” Because if it brings all the fucking racists out of their safe hiding places, how great can it really be??? How fucking dare you try to fucking detract from the REAL reason there was such a massive turn out this year?
Hillary was BY FAR the superior candidate compared to Trump. And all of you fucking pieces of shits who voted for the third party, you’ve contributed to this momentous occasion in history in such a TERRIBLE way. I hope you fucking feel terrible and guilty and I hope it eats away at you. I fucking blame you. I really do. Anyone who could’ve voted and decided not to because Hillary and Trump are both evil, fuck you too.
We could’ve had something to work with. Instead, we have someone who will set us back 50 years. Someone we’ll have to fight against for basic human rights, all over again.
