I've noticed that I used to link a lot to my social media accounts. Those are gone for right now. So over the next few days, I'll be doing some cleanup work around my very neglected blog.
I may never feel safe again
It's 12:14am on November 6th, 2024 and it looks like Donald Trump has won the presidency. My first feeling was unsafe. The things these MAGA people have said and done over the last few months have shaken me to my core. The last few months have shown me that people who look like me don't count. Women's lives are not to be protected. They say "Save The Children" but that's only until they are born. After that, they don't matter. The mothers of these children they want to be born don't matter. America elected a man who made fun of disabled people and war heroes. I will never understand what made people vote for this "man". Being a racist is once again ok in the United States. Being a sexist is again ok in the United States. Being an antisemite is again ok in the United States. Being homophobic is again ok in the United States.
Kamala was and is still one of the most qualified candidates we have ever had but she's a woman...but she's a woman of color.... So all of her qualifications are out the window. This is how the United States of America views black women. We are less than. I deactivated my social media accounts for now. The words and things I was seeing. The use of the "N" word.... I don't have the bandwidth to deal with it all quite yet. So if some of the links on this blog are broken that's why. So you're stuck with me over here for the foreseeable future. I may disable comments because I want to keep this a clean positive space.
I may never again feel safe again in a country that elects someone like this.... TWICE.
I sit here and wonder how I will protect those that I love. Those that I cherish.
