13. I am angry and sad and scared.

Wed Jan 7, 2026, 04:18 PM

Wednesday

I am angry at what happened and angry at the soulless bastards (DJT included) who condone this type of thing. I'm angry that there are armed goons patrolling our streets. I'm angry about the idiots who voted for that miserable cretin, especially after having lived through his first term and J6 which we all saw with our own eyes.

I am sad for the woman and sad for all the people who knew her and loved her.

And I'm scared about what atrocity is going to happen next and who's going to be next. And I'm afraid there's nothing going to be done to stop it.
