OK it's 2016 again. Our Democracy is gone.

I don’t know what the fuck I will do. I can’t retire now. Vaccines banned, clean air and water gone, EPA gone, NOAA gone, NWS gone, no safe food, drugs, repro care, Supreme Court UTTERLY PACKED with Alito and Thomas clones, social security gone, healthcare gone. Inflation will be through the roof with Trump’s tariffs and he and his terrorists will be on a warpath against women and Poc.

HE has the advantage in every swing state.

Were DONE.

I cannot believe this.

FUCK!

What are we going to do? I don’t know. But we can’t let him be a dictator if he wins.

I wish I could give you a hug.

Feeling so numb right now.

All these rural uneducated dumbasses with nothing to lose voting for him. Pisses me off.

I just don't know. Ukraine will be screwed, Social Security, climate, etc. I'm just done. She would have been a wonderful president.

They will lose SS and Medicare. Lose jobs, lose vaccines/medicine. Lose retirement savings. Prices sky high.

Lots of death. So much death.

We will all die, but maybe we will get to watch them die first,

They want to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

We have to suffer because of their stupidity and hatred.

I know people are upset, but we live to fight another day.

I refuse to give up. I'm not leaving, and my children are here.
