    And the White House sat on Trump’s insurrection for four fucking years.

    The system as a whole failed us when it didn’t convict Trump on either impeachment.

    You cannot convince me that Republicans wouldn’t have been rabidly screaming from rooftops that a Democratic President should be impeached if one did the same things Trump did while in office. And the sad thing is Democrats would have agreed and impeached him.

    Republicans only care about holding on to power. Nothing else anymore.

    And we as a nation just handed it to a candidate who wants to be ‘Dictator for a day’ as if any dictator has ever willingly relinquished power.

    As someone in a non-traditional relationship, and who has two female children, I am fucking terrified.

      I’m scared too. I just started hormone replacement therapy a few months ago, and found self-acceptance for the first time in my life. And also have a child, who’s a very sweet boy that will become a young man with misogynist assholes in power. That’s not the example I want for him.

      I’ve been crying this morning. And I’m crying now.

        I was planning on starting in the next couple of years myself, once I was financially stable enough to. I don’t know what to tell you or anyone else, but I think we’re dead.

        The entire LGBTQ community is dead if we stick out at all.
