Ok......I think i'm done coming here....I just can't take it. Seriously, I can't. [View all]

Sorry, I know I can call my Senators, & Representatives to say how much I am scared. I know I can protest, but ya know what?? I’m just scared.....scared of what the hell is gonna happen with everything this once great country stood for. Ok, ok, stupid sounding pathetic love of country, but it’s gonna be ALL gone. I just can’t come here anymore, I don’t want to know any more of the shit that is changing this country. I’m done. I love DU, gave a lot of hearts out......but I just can’t come here anymore.
