None of it makes sense, R26, other than voting for Harris-Waltz.
I’m quite the little soldier for democracy, & I’m always willing to put in the work & do more than just vote. And by the way, JUST voting is absolutely more than enough.
That stated, it’s been a very difficult several months for me. I’m finally getting over shingles, but my stomach is still massively fucked up from weeks of anti-virals, & I have blocked this campaign out for the most part, because I have to prioritize my wellbeing & keep anxiety to a minimum at this time.
I hope we make it. I hope I am 100% dead wrong about my fucked up prediction regarding this election. I was once a really positive person, and then Trump came along right around the same time I moved to a very conservative area in the United States. I wholeheartedly believed that I was moving to a place where I’d get along with everyone & make lifelong friends. Maybe buy a house, meet a nice guy & settle down. Instead, I met some of the most hateful & hostile people whom I have personally ever known to exist, & that’s when I finally came to understand that I was an exception, not the norm, and that America is filled with a bunch of assholes who are willing to make their neighbors suffer unjustly, who are willing to kick their fellow man when they’re already down, all while claiming that Jesus is Lord and Hallelujah-ing their way to an early grave over stupid refusals to wear masks or by getting a fucking vaccine.
Best part? The primary example for all of this shit was set for me right there where I lived, by the only family I thought I had, and who I desperately needed because I had felt so lonely and lost.
I got there just to have them treat me HORRIBLY, & the town was filled with others just like them.
America is filled with some truly horrible, fucked up people. I wish I didn’t have to live it to learn it, because I understand that it has fundamentally changed me in ways that I don’t want be changed in, and I’m trying to find my way back out of it, and I am leaving that all behind, but it’s very difficult for me to stay positive right now, knowing what I know because of what I have seen.
