(1,545 posts)Have you ever been bullied? Been in an abusive relationship?
What it feels like in this country right now is abuse, A bully is in charge and is gaslighting, manipulating, being cruel to people just for the sake of it, 'Because they can"
I, personally, have been bullied by male people, been abused by male people, manipulated into doing things I didn't want to do, been beaten so bad that I had to go to the ER. I thought if I just appeased the perp., it would get better, but it didn't, it only got worse.
now, look at the Dems. We've been socially, nationally, publically beaten, gaslit, manipulated, and now comes the 'appeasement' in a bully/abusive relationships, will only ever get worse.
The Felon, was and is going to make our collective lives worse, in every way, no matter how that vote happened. Since they (we) are appeasing them, they will (like before) believe they have total power over us, BECAUSE we gave up and gave in. The abuse that will happen now, will only get worse, because the abuser now thinks he as not only permission to beat us, but he thinks, because we gave him permission, will do his worse, just to see if we live through it.
I know this because I have lived through immense abuse, only now, it is not just one woman, it is every woman, every child, every man, that will be abused with the permission from those who gave him permission to.
